A storm is coming in more ways than one for Hoppy (William Boyd), California (Andy Clyde) and Lucky (Rand Brooks). California quips, "Son, I recollected once back in '86 it rained so hard I had to tie a log on each side of my horse to keep em floatin down the trail." During the lightning storm the trio take refuge in an abandoned church in a ghost town. California gets the jitters as the organ is playing and the bell is ringing by itself. The next day they find Susan Crowell (Dorinda Clifton) playing the organ with her mother (Mary Newton). Riker (Harry Cording) adds to the tension as his henchmen come to tear the church down. Deacon Black (Ian Wolfe) sides with Riker in order to have peace but Hoppy is having none of it. A shootout ensues forthwith and our heroes and the ladies are pinned down at the church. Can the county clerk (Earle Hodgins) help Hoppy solve the mystery of the ghost town? King of the Range is an unusual but wonderful Hoppy film.
