Both railroad detective Worthington (Harry Woods) and bank detective
Roy Rogers - who is soon joined by his sidekick Gabby (Gabby Hayes) - are
after Jesse James (Red Barry), who is believed to have robbed a bank. But
while Worthington is only after the reward money and even risks the lives
of Jesse's mother (Ethel Wales), stepdad (Wade Boteler) and half-brother
(Scotty Beckett) toget to Jesse (without success), Roy and Gabby soon
start to have doubts if it was Jesse who robbed the bank (the audience
already knows it wasn't), so they infiltrate the James-gang, only to
eventually find out that Jesse and his brother Frank (Harry Worth) are
honourable men - gangsters yes, but still honourable gangsters -, who
simply couldn't have robbed the bank because they were somewhere
completely else.
And soon enough, Roy and Gabby find out that it was the very
owners of that bank who robbed their own bank and just wanted to make it
look as if it was the James gang to get away with the money scot-free. So
Roy and Gabby rob the train the fine bankers want to get away with and
return the money to the good citizens who foolishly enough put their trust
into the local bank - and they have the two bankers arrested at the very
next station ...
Pauline Moore plays Gabby's daughter, who's (naturally) also Roy's love
interest.
Nothing big but an ok B-Western, with Roy not singing all that much
(and interrupting the story when doing so) for a change.
