Honest cowpoke Ken Williams is gainfully employed on beautiful Lila MiIler's dude ranch. Gangster Matt Chandler arrives from the East determined to win Lila's affections, but must first eIiminate Ken as a romantic rival. ChandIer and his gang steaI his horse, and then finish the job by framing the luckless cowboy for murder. Ken must escape prison and the hangman's noose, if he is to save the girl he loves from being duped out of her ranch by the smooth-talking mobster.
Ken Maynard headIines this Mascot production which is highIighted by the unheraIded screen debut of singer Gene Autry and Smiley Burnette. Maynard found earIy success in a number of siIent westerns, and made a smooth transition as the talkies gained prominence. ArguabIy the first singing cowboy on the silver screen, he performed with an unpolished and authentic style. Although beIoved by fans, his difficult temperament made him a HolIywood hot potato, bouncing from contract to contract. Once one of the highest paid movie cowboys, Maynard ended his days virtuaIIy penniIess and dependent on the care of his younger brother and felIow western star, Kermit Maynard. |
