The ranch of Red Ryder (Allan Lane) and his aunt, The Duchess (Martha Wentworth), is being used as the training site for "Gentleman Jim" Corbett (George Turner) for his upcoming fight in Carson City, Nevada for the heavyweight championship against Bob Fitzsimmons (John Dehner). Molly McVey (Peggy Stewart), the daughter of a U. S. Senator, crusading against prize-fighting in Nevada, complicates matters somewhat when she conceives the bright idea of having Corbett kidnapped, thus causing the cancellation of the fight. The two men (George Chesebro and George Lloyd) she hires to do the kidnapping also add to the complications by kidnapping Ryder instead of Corbett. Meanwhile, a gang of crooks, led by McKean (Roy Barcroft), descend on the town intent on looting the town and also making off with the fight proceeds.
I love the Red Ryder series, but this one was confusing and not very engaging - some parts were unusual, in regards to being a mix of being a shoot em up and modern boxing film. However, the acting is fine and so is Peggy Stewart who is quite comic, though I didn't quite understand why she was against a pugilist contest. Nice shoot em up at the end, but nothing remarkable.
