Along the way, he meets local rancher Gabby Whittaker played by George "Gabby" Hayes, who becomes Roy's sidekick and guide to the city's notorious nightlife.

As they arrive in Santa Fe, Roy and Gabby are introduced to their host, Beth Andrews (Dale Evans), the owner of the nightclub where Roy is set to perform. However, their arrival is met with challenges as a group of thieving cattle rustlers have been terrorizing the town and causing chaos.
