Under Western stars (Motion picture)

"A lengthy drought plagues the people of the West, creating a 'dust bowl, ' which is catastrophic for farmers and cattlemen alike. When some ranchers in Sage County illegally attempt to open the valve at a damn to get water for their dying cattle, Roy Rogers and his pal Frog help them. Although the sheriff arrests Roy, when they arrive back in town, Roy is hailed as a hero. The townspeople want him to run for Congress, like his late father, but the water company backs the ineffectual incumbent, William P. Scully. John D. Fairbanks, the head of the water company, comes West to speak with Roy, but they fail to reach an understanding. Later, as Roy prepares his first political speech, he is overhead by Eleanor, Fairbanks' daughter, who does not reveal her identity, but tells him she hopes he wins the election. Roy is successful, and promises that when he goes to Washington he will obtain federal assistance to help Sage County. Before he leaves, Eleanor sends him an anonymous note suggesting that he solicit the aid of powerful Congressman Edward H. Marlowe for his proposed water bill. Roy is unable to meet Marlowe until Eleanor sends him another secret note suggesting that he attend a fox hunt at the Marlowe estate. Upon his arrival, he saves Eleanor from a runaway horse and tells her he knows that she is the anonymous note sender. She then suggests that he throw a party and invite some powerful politicians. At the party.
