A virtual remake of Republic's 1942 "Call of the Canyon", continuing the trend of the first set of Jimmy Wakely westerns produced by Oliver Drake at Monogram of using an earlier Republic western for the plot source (and Republic recycled it again in 1950 for "Hills of Oklahoma"),this one has Jimmy Wakely and his sidekick "Lasses" White running into trouble when they attempt to hire some cattle cars on the Cattleman's Railroad to take their herd to market. Rancher Joseph Colton has bought up all the cattle cars and intends to purchase the penniless line from principal stockholder Gywnn Randall. She is eager to sell to Colton but doesn't realize that he intends to force all the ranchers out of business once he has control of the line.
