Having taken over a ranch from incompetent ex-manager Hap (William Haade), Gene Autry (Gene Autry) and pal Frog (Smiley Burnette) get ready for some visitors. Teacher Alice Bennett (Fay McKenzie) and student Connie Lane (Edith Fellows) drop by. But when Connie tries to ditch Alice, it's Gene who finds her. With Gene and Hap about to face off in a rodeo, Connie takes sneaky measures to ensure Gene's victory. But, with her father due at the ranch, her impish ways just might catch up with her.

Better than average Gene Autry western, the supporting cast is particularly good. Great songs, light and entertaining.
