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.
Unusual Gene Autry that is atmospheric, dreamy yet still retaining some thrills in the form of gunplay, quite tough fistfights, stagecoach chase and a vengeful Champion meting out his justice at the end. The ghost town set design is well spooky, evoking enough atmosphere. It's an imaginative and well made western melodrama.
