Plot
editAt the Tucson Rodeo, Dusty fails in a competition, but the winner is Crash who earns a prize belt. When Crash is having a bath a newspaper photographer comes into the room and takes a picture of Dusty identifying himself as Crash. Crash is angry that Dusty has stolen his name and glory but sees that the beautiful Maybelle Pembroke is returning home to Thunder River. Alibi had worked for the Pembrokes long ago but warns Crash that she would not be interested in a cowboy. Crash pawns his prize belt to buy a suit where he masquerades as a writer from New England. Dusty arrives at the ranch to impersonate Crash as the new foreman. The trio unite to stop a feud between two families in Thunder River with a Romeo and Juliet type situation where Maybelle loves Grover Harrison from the family that is the sworn enemy of the Pembrokes.
