Someone is trying to ruin the Rocky Mountain Stage Line in Dentonville and mine superintendent Gene Autry suspects that Collins (Gregg Barton), the stage driver, has something to do with it. Meanwhile, the local stage agent, Mrs. Wilhelmina Wilkins (Minerva Urecal), takes a dim view of Dentonville's new schoolmarm, Lucy Lawrence (Sheila Ryan), whom the clerk, Henry Mason (Steve Darrell), accuses of being a former saloon girl. But the Widow Wilkins changes her mind when Pat's divining rod, aka the doodle bug, reveals Mason to be behind the recent stage holdups. Gene Autry sings his own and Smiley Burnette's "Ridin' Down the Canyon." Leading lady Sheila Ryan and comedic sidekick Pat Buttram were married two years later. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
