Description

Gene Autry’s stolen horse turns up in a ghost town where Gene goes after he is left stranded during a stagecoach race.

Convicts Jake Fargo (Walter Sande), Pete Reagon (Jack O’Mahoney) and Charlie Lewis (Francis McDonald) escape from jail and stumble across a horse race. There, they steal Champion, the faithful horse belonging to Gene Autry (Gene Autry). Making this even more personal for Gene is the fact that his father was the man who put these bandits in jail. Fargon, Reagon and Lewis go hunting for hidden loot, but Gene intends to stop them and get his friend Champion back.
