There are cattle rustlers on the trail from Bearcat to Abilene, so the ranchers are afraid to move their cattle north to market. Charles Starrett and Smiley Burnette investigate, with Burnette going undercover with the rustlers. Meanwhile, Starrett talks the ranchers into driving their cattle north, while he goes along as himself.... and his spare white horse and Durango Kid outfit are close at hand.
Starrett was one of the most popular B western stars of the period, and doubtless Columbia's practiced productions and distribution networks contributed to that, but the script could be very good, and this one by Michael Simmons is one of them. Smiley sings a few songs, including "Froggy Went A-Courting" with the Georgia Crackers providing some decent music.
