Roy Rogers (
Roy Rogers)comes to Merino Springs to prevent a range war between cattlemen and sheepmen, that started as a result of the killing of a sheep-man, Matthew Delaney (
John Ince) on "Whirligig Cattle Syndicate" property. He was killed by Steve Anders (
Francis McDonald, a henchman of Cole Gregory (
Dennis Hoey), who is out to acquire the Delaney ranch. Roy's pleas for the murdered man's daughter, Jill Delaney (
Dale Evans) to help prevent further bloodshed are dashed when her prized ram is also killed. It does not help matters that her lawyer is the scheming Gregory.
