Synopsis:
When two swindlers, posing as motion picture producers, sell fake stock in a movie and then leave Sage City with many people's well-earned money, Gene Autry and Frog Millhouse trail them to Mexico. There, Gene convinces the lovely Maria Elena Alvarado, who believes she is soon to "star" in a film produced by the same con-men, that the entire situation is a fraud, and he enlists her aid in proving the guilt of the evil "producers."
