  • ""Wyoming rancher 'Lucky' Langham, who has lost most of his money on the stock market, hopes that his playgirl daughter Cody will soon come to her senses and leave New York. Lucky then bets his foreman, Gene Autry, and his men that he is not too old to beat them in a race, but during the race, he collapses and later dies. When Cody returns to Wyoming to claim her inheritance, she is arrested for hitting a pig with her car, and Gene has to bail her out of jail. Although he is attracted to her, she is unhappy with him when she learns that Lucky made him executor of his estate with the proviso that Cody could not marry or sell the ranch without Gene's permission. She decides to turn the ranch into the Langtry Inn, a dude ranch, then sends a telegram to her boyfriend, Larry Cummings, accepting his proposal. When Larry arrives, Cody tells him that she is broke except for the ranch, which is worth $250,000, and that Gene must approve their marriage. Soon Sykes and Kuzak, two of Larry's cohorts, arrive from Chicago and are instructed to arrange an 'accident' for Gene. They get some men to rustle Cody's cattle, and when Gene chases after them, he is knocked unconscious. While his friend Frog revives him, they discover an incriminating telegram that Larry had sent to Kuzak. Gene then confronts Larry, but leaves when Cody interrupts. Because she has heard everything, she orders Larry out, but he tells her to give him $10,000 or Gene will be killed. The next day Cody asks Gene for the money, not telling him why, but he refuses and has Frog and the boys stage a fake cattle-rustling stampede to get the cattle safely out of the way. Cody's friend, Jane Crocker, tells her about the ruse so Cody decides to stage her own kidnapping and send a ransom demand for $10,000. Gene suspects that the plot is phony, but when he gets another note upping the amount to $25,000, he realizes that Cody must really be in trouble. Jane tells Gene the real reason why Cody needed the money and he and the men go after her. Finally, Cody is rescued, Larry and his friends are captured and Gene and Cody drive home"--AFI catalog, 1931-1940."
