Traveling back west, Barrabee's plane makes an emergency landing in Nevada and awaits another airplane that brings them parts needed to repair the aircraft. Barrabee wanders off and meets trail boss Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers. Happy he is back roping and riding with fellow cowboys, he misses his plane's departure, and joins Roy in droving cattle.

He gives Roy a job on his ranch and sends him to New York to bring Joan back. Roy pretends to be a wealthy rancher and impresses Joan with his singing and charm.

She plans to sell her father's ranch and return to New York. However, when she arrives at the ranch, she is surprised to see her father alive and well. Will Joan embrace the West or will she deny her roots forever?
