This is the ninth movie in the "Lone Rider" series, which spans seventeen films -- eleven starring George Houston, and a further six starring Robert Livingston.[3]

Houston, once an opera singer, sang three songs in this film: "Ride, Cowboy, Ride", "There's Only One Rose in Texas" and "We Will Meet in the Valley". The songs were written by Johnny Lange and Lew Porter.[2]

The movie was not distributed internationally, because it showed thieves dressing up as priests, which was deemed "sacreligious to many foreign audiences."[3]

Plot

Having served prison time for a cattle rustling that he didn't commit, rancher Jack Stewart is set upon by a gang of vigilantes who want to hang him. Sheriff Smoky Moore is attacked while trying to protect Jack. Tom Cameron, the Lone Rider, and his sidekick Fuzzy Jones stop the hanging and chase the mob away. The real cattle rustler is Nora Mason, who wants Jack to be blamed for her crimes. She frames Jack again, and he's killed by a rancher whose cattle has been stolen. Tom has to unmask the real outlaw gang before they claim more innocent lives.
