Buster Crabbe rides to the rescue of the victims of some greedy rustlers who are plaguing the locals. In true cowboy hero fashion, he proceeds to clean up the range in no time at all. Lovable sidekick Fuzzy is up to his usual share of hilarious hi-jinks.
Crabbe is best remembered today as Flash Gordon, but in this western series he does a pretty good job ---- This one particular is fun and a good example of how entertaining some of the programmers can be.
Bringing a herd of cattle to Dave Crockett, Billy halts before going through the pass where many herds have been rustled. He is right as there are two men after Crockett's ranch and packing plant which will be theirs if Crockett fails to pay off his note. When their attempt to get Crockett's son in financial trouble is broken up by Billy and their men fail to rustle the herd, they then poison the water hole.
The villains are working all fronts, banking, gambling, and rustling all trying to get a hold of a ranch and a packing plant. One way is rustle the cattle, another way is the bad guys to cheat at poker and buy up IOUs. Finally to just call a note due. But Crabbe and St. John are on to all the tricks of villainy.
