Gabby Hayes takes on a dangerous mission to retrieve the rare Doohickus plant from Monster Valley, a place feared for its deadly gila monsters.

Young Falcon, a lone huntsman known across the West, encounters two Brave scouts who are leading their tribe’s women and children through the hills.

In a dusty frontier town, a rivalry brews between Gabby Hayes and Lasso Hemp over the affections of Sue Tribe, with Gabby’s persistent courtship and Lasso’s jealous outbursts turning the town’s gossip into a full-blown showdown.
