In the 1940 movie "Ride, Tenderfoot, Ride," Gene Autry plays a singing cowboy named Gene Autry who just inherited his Uncle's ranch, which is in bad shape due to a lack of profits. Autry is also the guardian of his 13-year-old niece, Cindy Lou (Mary Lee), who comes to live with him at the ranch. Autry and his pal Smiley Burnette (Smokey) soon find out that a group of crooks are trying to run the ranchers in the area out of business to take over their properties. The crooks are headed up by a man named Stark (Robert Homans) who is trying to create a monopoly on the area's cattle market.

Autry and Smokey soon realize that Cindy Lou is a key witness in the case against Stark, and they must protect her from the crooks. They hatch a plan to trick the crooks into thinking Cindy Lou is out of the picture, but their plan backfires, and the crooks kidnap Cindy Lou. Autry and Smokey set out on horseback to rescue Cindy Lou and bring the crooks to justice.

Along the way, Autry and Smokey encounter a woman named Juanita (June Storey), who is being mistreated by her boss, a saloon owner named Slinger (Roy Gordon).
