- Appearing at a large rodeo, Gene Autry sees in the grandstand Millicent Thomas, the beautiful daughter of local wealthy rancher Timothy T. Thomas, and is immediately attracted to her. Gene wins the $1,000 dollar purse in the bronc riding event over Matt Kirby, crooked foreman of the Thomas "Triple T" ranch. That night, while Gene and his pal Frog Millhouse are sleeping, Gypsy Black Franz steals the money. Millicent goes to the local employment office to hire a new cook and assistant. Thomas has also fired Kirby and the other ranch hands, so Millicent has persuaded Thomas to let her hire cowgirls Cuddles, Helen, Mamie, and Sally as ranch hands. Accompanying Millicent and her father is their large dog Souvenir, who has the habit of stealing anything that isn't nailed down. Souvenir wanders over to the Gypsy camp and steals the sleeping baby of Franz and Perdita, basket and all, and drags it home. Millicent decides to take care of the baby until its parents can be found. Gene and Frog gets jobs on the ranch as cooks. Gene thinks the baby belongs to Millicent. Millicent summons Gene to the ranch house and asks him to mind the baby while she goes to town. The next morning, Franz appears and Millicent turns the baby over to him. Gene and Frog see him leaving with the baby, think he is a kidnapper, and chase him. Meanwhile, Kirby and his minions have been rustling the Thomas herd. Gene also has to put an end to that. Gene is happy to learn that the baby is not Millicent's. Cowgirls as ranch hands does not meet the approval of Gene, who is now the foreman, and he hires back all of the honest cowhands that were fired. But Millicent arranges a meeting between the cowgirls and the rehired hands. And, before you can say "who wrote this stuff", there is a communal wedding in which Gene and Millicent, Frog and Cuddles, and four other cowgirls and cowboys are married in unison. But when the preacher asks for the rings, they find that Souvenir has stolen them. Laughs all around at the fade for everybody but the audience. Somewhere along the way Black Franz reforms and gives Gene's hard-earned bronc-busting money back to him. The dog Buck was billed above the title with Gene Autry on the "original" 11/14 Title Card and posters from this film but not on the reissue paper. The "Buck" in this film was the dog in 1935's "Call of the Wild" and 1936's "Country Beyond" from Fox/TCF, and Republic, evidently because "Buck" had one heck of a good agent, used him in this film,and "The Trigger Trio" with the Three Mesquiteers and their "Robinson Crusoe of Clipper Island" serial. This "Buck" last appeared in 1939's "Gentleman From Arizona" at Monogram.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
