| Plot: | Ex-Confederate Army soldier, Gabby Whittaker, becomes half-owner in a Texas ranch. |
| The other half-owner is an ex-Union Army Colonel (Colonel Denbigh). | |
| Ellen is the daughter of the Colonel. | |
| Gabby asks Roy Rogers to run the ranch. | |
| Colonel Denbigh is appointed military governor of the district. | |
| Unbeknownst to the Colonel, the men under his command (including Captain Jeffries) are renegades that | |
| pillage the locals. | |
| Gabby and the Colonel have a this-town-isn't-big-enough-for-the-both-of-us showdown (both have | |
| blank cartridges in their guns) wherein the Colonel gets shot by Captain Jeffries. | |
| During his recovery, the Colonel orders all guns confiscated. | |
| Captain Jeffries has the Colonel killed and continues with the pillaging. | |
| Gabby and Roy organize the citizens, who then defeat the renegades in the shootout scene. | |
| Captain Jeffries momentarily escapes on horseback but is killed by Roy. | |
| Having fallen in love with Ellen, Roy convinces her to not go back East. |
