The story

Ranch owner Belle Turner (Mady Correll) owns one of the few properties along the Old Chisolm Trail that has badly needed water for cattlemen driving their herds to Abilene, but charges exorbitant fees in return. Not willing to pay Belle five dollars a head of steer for water, Dusty Gardner (Johnny Mack Brown) and his fellow cattlemen detour his herd to Lost River, where he meets Mary Lee (Jennifer Holt), the blond proprietor of the local trading post, and gambler Montana Smith (Tex Ritter). Since the river mysteriously ran dry, Mary has to ship water in to keep her business alive.
