During a dice game, the lights go out and a participant is shot to death. Larry Evans (Russell Arms), one of the players, is accused of the shooting, so Gene Autry (Gene Autry), a friend of the dead man, confronts Larry and his sister, Mary (Barbara Britton), who are hiding out in an old house. But Gene quickly realizes Larry is innocent and decides to protect the siblings from the law while he looks for the real killer. Gene's pursuit is sidetracked when an angry mob comes after Mary and Larry.
Agreeable enough Autry western with the usual quota of singing, shootin' fistfights and ends with an excellent Stagecoach sequence featuring really good stunt work. Barbara Britton is pleasing to the eye as the sister of the wanted man. Only problem is that it can be sluggishly paced and repetitive with the suspected murderer escaping all the time and then Autry promising to get the real killer. Not enough mystery/whodunnit, though liked how Autry nabbed the real varmint.
