Forest ranger Roy Rogers finds the wagon the two escaped prisoners used, but not the pirsoners. Little does he know that Douglas Fowley has knifed Robert Bice, and left him for dead. Fowley also goes into partnership with Bice's uncle, Robert Emmet Keane, who had framed Bice. It seems that Keane's brother, Lucien Littlefield owns a lake that he is using as a trout hatchery for the state, with Dale Evans, ex-marine and ichthyologist, working for him Fowley and Keane confirm there is at least $2,000,000 worth of oil beneath the lake. And Keane is his brother's heir.
It's a pretty good story that pauses occasionally to offer a lecture on what goes on in a fish hatchery, Roy nursing Bullet or chatting with Jimmy the Crow, or a song. They're pretty good this time around, with Estelita Rodriguez singing and being the comic this time around. Roy arrests Dale twice, and Trigger demonstrates that he's not only the smartest horse in the movies, he's smarter than Roy.
