Rough Riders' Round-up is a classic western film from 1939, directed by Joseph Kane and starring Roy Rogers, Lynne Roberts, and Raymond Hatton. The story revolves around a group of cowboys, "The Rough Riders," who come to the aid of a young girl who has inherited a valuable property from her father. The film begins with the introduction of the Rough Riders – Roy Rogers (as himself), Sourdough (played by Raymond Hatton), and Rusty (played by Eddie Acuff). The trio arrives in a small town in the West, where they meet a young girl named Sally (Lynne Roberts). Sally has recently inherited a ranch from her father, who was a gambler and saloon owner. However, she soon finds out that her father's business partner, Big Bill Lambert (played by Burr Caruth), wants to take over her property.

Sally's ranch is not an ordinary ranch, but a gold mine, which explains why Lambert is so keen to get his hands on it. In order to get the property, Lambert has employed a gang of henchmen to terrorize Sally and force her to sell. The Rough Riders take pity on Sally and offer their help to protect her property from Lambert and his gang.

As the story unfolds, the Rough Riders face many obstacles in their quest to protect Sally's ranch. They are challenged by Lambert's men in a series of fistfights and gunfights, and they have to use all their skills and expertise to outsmart the bad guys. Along the way, they also encounter other colorful characters, such as a group of smugglers trying to sneak gold across the border, and a love interest for Rogers' character, in the form of a singer named Christine (played by Ann Evers).

The film climaxes with a thrilling showdown between the Rough Riders and Lambert's gang, which takes place on Sally's ranch. The tension builds up as the good guys and the bad guys prepare for the final showdown, and the fate of Sally's property hangs in the balance.
