Plot

edit

Kindly Thad Cameron runs a ranch for boys whose fathers were killed in World War II. The ranch is named in the memory of his nephew and last surviving family member Frank Cameron who was killed in Italy.

Thad's attorney Hattie Waters informs Thad that his nephew has been found alive after being cured of amnesia. Unfortunately, the real Frank remains dead as the scheming Hattie recruits a former convict to impersonate Frank. After tricking Thad to create a new will leaving all his fortune to Frank, she sets a pack of trained-to-kill dogs onto Thad with everyone believing Thad was killed by a pack of wolves.

U.S. Marshal Roy Rogers with the help of Dr. Cookie Bullfincher and his nurse Penny Thatcher investigate the matter to bring justice where and to whom it is due.
