Output (English): Following the death of his friend Ed Norton who was killed during a dice game, Gene Autry Gene Autry sets out in search of the killer. His search takes him to an old house where Larry Evans Russell Arms, who was accused of the murder, is in hiding. Larrys sister Mary Barbara Britton defends her brother, claiming they both loved Ed, who acted as their guardian after the death of their father. Mary is able to convince Gene that Larry is innocent. Gene offers to help him evade the sheriff until he can discover the real killer. Later, Gene discovers that Larrys gun, which was used in the killing, was offered as collateral during the dice game, and anyone could have taken it and shot Ed when the lights in the room went out. To allude a posse, Gene takes Larry to a cabin belonging to his prospector friend, Jim Hedge Clem Bevans. When Gene questions him about the game, Larry tells him that either Dave Randall Jack Holt or Don Mason Robert Shayne, who were both playing in the game, suggested that he put up the gun. Gene rides back into town to continue his search for the real killer. Meanwhile, Mason offers to purchase the Evans ranch from Mary and help Larry to escape across the border. Gene overhears the conversation and is surprised by the large amount of money Mason is proposing to pay for the property. When Gene returns to Jims cabin, he is followed by the sheriff. Although Gene manages to warn Larry of the lawmans presence, Larry is convinced that Gene has betrayed him. The following morning, Gene and Jim ride to the ranch where Larry is hiding.

He sets a trap for the killers and exposes Don Mason and his cohorts, Bill Otis and Dave Randall, who murdered Ed Norton in order to obtain the rich lode of iron ore on his ranch. Larrys name cleared, and he and his sister return to their ranch and its valuable iron ore.
