Francis Ford thought he had lost his nephew during the War, and had turned his fortune towards a camp for the children of fallen soldiers. Now his lawyer, Nana Bryant, tells him the youngster has turned up, so he tells her to rewrite his will, leaving half to the young man, and half to the camp. He signs a blank form and then heads into town. On the way, he is attacked by angry dogs, which everyone thinks are wolves. Ford is killed, but when his will is red, he has left everything to his nephew. Marshall Roy Rogers is in town to investigate. He comes across one of the dogs, hit by a bullet -- it's Bullet in his first role. Roy and doctor Andy Devine fail to calm the animal, but Trigger does so immediately.
There's a lot going on in this Roy Rogers vehicle, so much so that it often becomes confusing, even when it's been establish that Miss Bryant, despite her vapors, is actually the lead bad guy in the show. Lynne Roberts is present as Devine's nurse and Roy's implied love interest, and the Sons of the Pioneer sing or accompany Roy in three songs. It's not one of Roy's best, but it's still lively and fun.
