- Hoppy clears Lucky on a charge of bank robbery and foils the plot of a crooked lawyer to rustle a herd of pedigree cattle and take over the valley.
- Lucky is falsely accused of robbing the local bank and assumed drowned in the river while being pursued by a posse. A grieving Hoppy takes exception to remarks made about his presumably dead young friend by local lawyer Cal Howard, and Hoppy knocks him down in public. Howard is engaged to Agnes, the pretty and personable daughter of local cattle rancher Glen Randall, who has borrowed heavily from the town bank in order to buy a herd of breed cattle. Howard's callously materialistic attitude toward his fiance, coupled with his virulent jealousy of Agnes' friendship with Hoppy, causes her to break off the engagement. The vindictive Howard pressures the bank to call in its loan on the Randall ranch and conspires to rustle the valuable herd, so that the Randall spread will fall into his hands. This is part of a larger covert plan by the avaricious lawyer to take over the entire valley on the behalf of a shadowy combine. A desperate Randall recruits Hoppy as his foreman to help him deal with the crisis and he immediately clashes with Howard. When Lucky turns up alive, he joins Hoppy and Windy in foiling the lawter's greedy plans.—Gabe Taverney (duke1029@aol.com)

Cobb), a crooked lawyer, who is after the ranch owned by Glenn Randall (Morris Ankrum), which Howard knows is being sought as the key to a watershed in an irrigation project in which he is financially involved. Howard is also attentive to Randall's daughter, Agnes (Muriel Evans), whom he intends to marry in order to get the ranch if other means fail. Cassidy learns that Howard was behind the bank robbery, and that "Lucky: is alive and in hiding.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
