Public Cowboy No. 1
Deputies Gene Autry and Frog go up against modern cattle rustlers. These rustlers use technology such as, airplanes, radios and refrigerated trucks to steal the cows, butcher them in the field and ship them out before getting caught. This causes the town to bring in a modern NYC detective to catch the crooks, but will Autry and Frog be permanently out of a job?
From the archive
Shannon (Arthur Loft) is running a modern rustling operation using an airplane to spot the cattle, short wave radio to alert the rustlers, and trucks to haul away the beef. When the aging Sheriff Doniphan (William Farnum) is unable to bring them in, he is replaced by an eastern detective. But Doniphan's deputy (Gene Autry) suspects Shannon and sets a trap to nab him and his gang.
