From the archive
1949 directed by John English starring Gene Autry and Champion, Sheila Ryan, Frank Richards, Hank Patterson and Jay Silverheels. Gene gets angry when he discovers sheep from the nearby Indian reserve are trampling around his cattle land, but when he rides over to confront them he discovers their plight, (they're poor and hungry), and aw shucks, he’s just got to help them out. This puts him into conflict with some seedy individuals who are taking advantage of the Indians. Singin,' shootin,' some hard ridin' and plenty of fisticuffs.
