"Hopalong" Cassidy (William Boyd), of the Bar-20 Ranch comes to her rescue by lending Belle his horse so she can escape and return to her ranch with her daughter Jacqueline (Dorothy Short). Her crooked foreman,"Trister" (Leo J. McMahon), in the pay of Dan Ringo ('Alden 'Stephen' Chase'), schemes to deliver Bar-20 cattle to crafty cattle-buyer "Trimmer" Winkler (Lane Chandler), but is thwarted by the marksmanship of young Artie Peters (Billy King), son of Bar-20 foreman Buck Peters (John Elliott). Fearing that Belle's cattle will be the next target, Cassidy inserts a small Mexican coin in the hoof of one of the herd to get evidence to prove the brands have been changed.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
