 Jimmy Wakely (Jimmy Wakely) and Dusty (John James), traveling with the medicine show owned by "Lasses" White (Lee "Lasses" White), stop at the Ferguson ranch and find the rancher and his wife killed. They take the Ferguson baby (Michael Joseph Ward) to their camp, where outlaws Joe (Eddie Taylor), Slick (Brooke Temple) and Pete (Bill Hammond) attempt to kidnap the baby, while Dusty is reporting the murders to Sheriff Beasley (Horace Murphy) and town mayor Melinda Pringle (Sarah Padden). Wakely and his singers hide the baby from its legal guardian, Doc Judd Thomas (Jack Baxley), as they suspect him of being connected with the Ferguson murders. When Melinda and her niece, Penny (Phyllis Adair), discover where the baby is, Jimmy enlists their aid. The sheriff discovers that Melinda has the baby and jails her, Jimmy and Dusty. Using his medicine show troupe as a diversion, "Lasses" breaks them out of jail. They search the doctor s office and find that he had the family killed after he discovered oil on their property, and is waiting to get custody of the baby so he can sign valuable contracts with an oil company.
