Gene Autry (Gene Autry) is the foremen of a ranch owned by Maureen McClune (Peggy Moran) on which is being held the annual Frontier Week rodeo celebration. Nightclub owner Jack Pomerory (LeRoy Mason) owning a rival ranch is anxious to get contract for the next year's rodeo, and he has his legion of henchmen stage some "accidents" to make the current event a failure. A stagecoach race, with drivers representing three ranches, is to be run to determine which ranch gets the contract. While it is being run, Gene's sidekick Frog Millhouse (Smiley Burnette) operates a device he invented to get a secret recording of conversation between the crooks which trips them up.
