Synopsis by Hans J. Wollstein
Gene Autry sings "Home on the Range," "Cowboy Blues," and "Mexicali Rose," and the Cass County Boys take care of the humorous "Great Grandad" in this television Western, the second entry in Autry's 1950-1955 series. Coming across the murdered body of Gold Dust Charlie, Autry hurries to the assay office to stake a claim for the dead man's heirs. But he is too late and is instead jailed for murder. Sidekick Pat Buttram, however, does a bit of fancy talking that allows Autry to escape and hunt down the real culprit. Alan Hale Jr. and Pat Buttram's future wife, Sheila Ryan, co-star.
