Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
In this western, Roy Rogers plays a cowboy-congressman from a dustbowl state who travels to Washington, DC to lobby for badly needed water rights which he wants to make public and free. Roy is assisted by his sidekick and other friends. There, they show their peers a documentary that graphically depicts the decimation caused by the massive drought.
