The purple hills are rocky hills and not enough to stop Sheriff Gene Autry. During a bank robbery, the sheriff is shot and Judge Beaumont(Roy Gordon)appoints Gene the new sheriff. Stumble-bum Mike Rawley(Pat Buttram)arrives in town and volunteers to help Gene. Jack Beaumont(Hugh O'Brian)is the town's bad boy and has trouble living a responsible life and is easily blamed for the murder of his father the judge. Gene in spite of not liking Jack, is willing to prove his innocence. Pretty busy story that keeps most of Autry's films very watchable and fun to boot.Also starring are: Jo-Carroll Dennison, James Millican and Don Kay. Gene gets to sing a few songs with the best being: "Dear Hearts and Gentle People" and "Beyond the Purple Hills". And along with the World's Wonder horse Champion, there is a Champion Jr.
