Six-year-old Sugar Grey (Sugar Dawn) has inherited a ranch, which she will lose to her cousin Jeff Grey (Carleton Young) if a certain number of cattle aren`t delivered on time. Jeff has been working with Vic Insley (Glenn Strange) to steal Sugar`s cattle so he can obtain the ranch. Banker Jim Coleman (Hal Price), ranch overseer against Jeff`s wishes, hires Tex Wright (Tex Ritter) and Slim Hunkafeller (Slim Andrews)) as cowhands on Sugar`s ranch. Tex and Slim work nights changing Insley`s brand on the rustled cattle from Sugar`s herd to yet another brand. Tex then bribes the rustlers to help him herd the cattle to the loading pens. Jeff convinces the Sheriff (Warner Richmond) that Tex is a rustler. Tex eludes the posse and Slim and his men surround the rustlers.
