Produced by Ken Murray strictly as a vehicle for Laurie Anders, his curvy protégé from his television show and billed above the title and first billed in the cast as Laurie ("I-like-the-wide-open-spaces") Anders, which was her catch-line phrase and how she was introduced and known. This is neither a comedy, satire or parody---missing badly on all attempts at such---and isn't much of a western either, even by bottom-of-the-barrel B-standards. The plot by veteran B-western villain player Bob Duncan, who did manage to write himself the best role in the movie, relative to there being no good roles in this movie, has town banker Anderson, the secret head of an outlaw gang, trying to organize a Cattleman's Association and not getting any takers. He sends for Trigger Gans to act as a persuader. But a mysterious, masked rider known as El Coyote begins to resist.
Rocky Lane takes on Henry Mason, a crooked railroad agent, who is swindling local landowners out of their property.

Gene Autry stops singing long enough to take on some nasty land developers in this oldtime western from Republic Pictures. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Gene Autry movie if there weren’t at least a few songs, and this one comes packed with such numbers as “I’m Beginning to Care,” “Love, Burning Love,” and the title song. Gene’s longtime sidekick Smiley Burnette gets to sing a few, too, including “She Works Third Tub at the Laundry.”

They want this outlaw dead or alive, and will stop at nothing to see that their sense of justice is done.
