Singing cowboy Gene (Gene Autry) and his sidekick, Frog (Smiley Burnette), try to help some ranchers when they learn of a plot by corporate developers to buy up all the grazing land and build a vacation resort for Easterners. Gene convinces the ranchers to pool their resources and collectively outbid the interlopers. But, after the funds are stolen, Gene realizes he will have to fight the bad guys with more direct methods, and he gathers an unlikely posse of hobos to do it.
