Brief Synopsis:

Gene fights for justice when a local banker, who is believed to have embezzled bank funds, is threatened by a half-crazed lynch mob.
 
Detailed Synopsis:
Snake River’s citizens are thrown into a furor when Ben Tansey, the local banker, mysteriously disappears and is believed to have embezzled the bank’s funds. While checking Tansey’s house, Sheriff Jeb Warner is attacked by a pair of drygulchers, one of whom rides the missing banker’s horse. Gene Autry saves the lawman’s life and takes over the investigation with the able assistance of his pal, Pat Buttram. After exceedingly clever detective work on Gene’s part, plus plenty of exciting fisticuffs and gunplay, the real crooks are rounded up, and Tansey is saved from decorating a cottonwood tree.
