US Marshal Gene Autry arrives in a small town to find that Sheila Ryan, ex-carnival trick-rider and rifle shot, is the sheriff, and looking to do a good job too, as she threatens Autry for arrest with fighting in the street. Autry is mostly there to see to the interests of Pat Buttram, who has inherited a deposit of natural cement. He proposes to use it in the town's construction of a dam. This suits everyone except Robert Livingston and associates, who have a contract for hauling in stone for the dam.
Autry sings the title song, recently a hit for Frankie Laine, three times, and the story has some interesting twists and turns as Buttram tries to play matchmaker between Autry and Miss Ryan. Autry's vehicles for Columbia remain a cut above the other contemporary B westerns, providing some interesting performances for Autry's regular company of performers, with Buttram given a more serious role than usual.
