Ex-G.I. Rex Allen, a song-singing, bronc-busting cowboy for the rodeo
show ran by Colonel Shawnee Jefferson is arrested by Sheriff Elmer
Fuller as an accessory in the theft of $50,000 from the Dusty Acres
Irrigation Company reported to have been stolen by his father, Ace Allen,
who has disappeared. Rex escapes and reaches the scene of the
problem unknown and unrecognized. The real crooks are Hugh
Davenport and his uncle Jim, head of the Dusty Acres band, who have
kidnapped Mr. Allen as part of a scheme to wreck the community
irrigation project which, they figure, will mean ruin for the farmers and
ranchers who have sunk their savings into it. They plan to foreclose the
mortgages and drill for the rich oil deposits they have secretly
discovered. Rex, posing as a cowhand named Arizona Jones, obtains a
job as a ditch rider and aided by Laramie Carson, daughter of his dad's
partner David Carson, and cowhand I.Q. Barton, begins the project of
clearing his father and trapping the real crooks.
