After Dixie invites Jimmie to perform in a concert he is putting on for the other passengers, Jimmie is persuaded to participate in a crooked card game run by Judge Homer Kenworthy and his associates. However, with Dixie\u0027s intervention, Jimmie wins handsomely, then accuses the gamblers of trying to cheat him. A fistfight breaks out and Jimmie beats them. When the boat docks at Creek City, Jimmie is disturbed to see Kenworthy and his cohorts welcomed by Stan Caldwell, Jimmie\u0027s uncle\u0027s partner, and Jeanette, who runs the Round-Up Saloon. Jimmie decides to take a job with the Sunshine Band, which has been booked at the saloon, in order to find out more about Caldwell. After town developer Caldwell installs Kenworthy as judge, and his associate, Samuel W. Beale, as city marshal, Jimmie discovers that his uncle was killed during a purported holdup and suspects that Caldwell was behind it. He also finds out that Caldwell has been cheating the settlers by selling them dry land and forcing them to buy water from him. Then, when they cannot pay, Caldwell forecloses and resells the land. Still not revealing who he really is, Jimmie challenges Caldwell about a claim belonging to Pop Lassiter. As a result, Caldwell tells Jeanette to pay Jimmie off, but Jimmie turns her down. After Jimmie discovers that Caldwell\u0027s men have roughed up Pop, he confronts Caldwell and reveals that he is his partner. Caldwell offers to buy Jimmie out, but he refuses to sell. Jeanette, who is falling in love with Jimmie, warns him to beware of Caldwell. As Caldwell controls the town\u0027s lawmen, Jimmie plans to incorporate the town and hold an election to fill the posts. He stages a minstrel show to enlist the support of the citizens and the judge\u0027s eighteen-year-old daughter Dorothy, who has just arrived in town, becomes part of the show. During the performance, Jimmie urges the audience to incorporate the town and elect their own officials, but is interrupted by gunfire from Caldwell\u0027s men, who try to break up the event. Jimmie tells Dorothy that her father is involved in Caldwell\u0027s crooked activities. On election day, Caldwell\u0027s men intimidate potential voters from entering the polling booth. Meanwhile, Jimmie rounds up the outlying land owners, who must then deal with barricades that Caldwell has set up at the entrances to the town. After Dorothy persuades her father to stand up to Caldwell, he goes to the poll and urges the citizens to vote for incorporation, but is shot at by one of Caldwell\u0027s men. However, Jimmie leads the settlers as they fight their way into town and cast their votes for a legitimate government. The repentant judge turns Caldwell and Beale over to a U.S. Marshal, and the future looks bright for Jimmie and Creek City.","wins":0,"nominations":null,"casts":[{"name":"Jimmie Davis","code":"nm0204834","characters":"Jimmie Davis"},{"name":"Veda Ann Borg","code":"nm0096458","characters":"Jeanette"},{"name":"Lee \u0027Lasses\u0027 White","code":"nm0925113","characters":"Dixie Dalrymple"},{"name":"Sue England","code":"nm0257466","characters":"Dorothy Kenworthy"},{"name":"James Flavin","code":"nm0281329","characters":"Stan Caldwell"},{"name":"Lyle Talbot","code":"nm0847939","characters":"O\u0027Neill"},{"name":"Paul Maxey","code":"nm0561537","characters":"Judge Kenworthy"},{"name":"Paul Bryar","code":"nm0117269","characters":"Sam Beale"},{"name":"Joel Marston","code":"nm0551337","characters":"Duke McCall"},{"name":"Guy Beach","code":"nm0063464","characters":"Pop Lassiter"},{"name":"John Alban","code":"nm0016251","characters":"Townsman"},{"name":"Hank Bell","code":"nm0068235","characters":"Riverboat Passenger"},{"name":"Rudy Bowman","code":"nm0101394","characters":"Riverboat Passenger"},{"name":"Blondy Brunzell","code":"nm5896802","characters":"Townsman"},{"name":"Bill Burt","code":"nm0123410","characters":"Dancer"},{"name":"Nora Bush","code":"nm0124181","characters":"Townswoman"},{"name":"Wheaton Chambers","code":"nm0150461","characters":"Townsman"},{"name":"Tex Cooper","code":"nm0178416","characters":"Townsman"}],"budget":null,"lifetimeGross":null,"openingWeekendGross":null,"worldwideGross":null,"keywords":[{"text":"cigar smoking"},{"text":"steam engine"},{"text":"guitar"},{"text":"performer"},{"text":"stage show"}],"production":[{"id":"co0176247","text":"Lindsley Parsons Productions"}],"prestigiousAwardSummary":null,"moreLikeThisTitles":[{"code":"tt0042037","title":"Western Renegades"},{"code":"tt0067039","title":"Earth II"},{"code":"tt0044085","title":"Submarine Command"},{"code":"tt0041265","title":"Crashing Thru"},{"code":"tt0049301","title":"Helen of Troy"},{"code":"tt0033254","title":"When the Daltons Rode"},{"code":"tt0046000","title":"Lili"},{"code":"tt0042992","title":"Square Dance Katy"},{"code":"tt0039076","title":"Valley of the Zombies"},{"code":"tt0036999","title":"The Lady and the Monster"},{"code":"tt0039584","title":"Louisiana"},{"code":"tt0072284","title":"Three the Hard Way"}]}
