Plot

In the wild frontier town of Buffalo Buttes, the reign of law and order is threatened when former Sheriff "Hopalong" Cassidy, played by William Boyd, loses a suspiciously skewed election. The victor is Jerry Doyle (Kirk Alyn), a mere puppet in the hands of Tad Hammond (Douglass Dumbrille), a notorious outlaw leader with a personal vendetta against Cassidy. As Doyle steps into his ill-gotten role, the town descends into a world of rampant crime, violence, and debauchery, marking a dark era under the new sheriff's rule. Meanwhile, Cassidy, a beacon of justice, refuses to stand down. Alongside his loyal comrades, "California" Carlson (Andy Clyde) and Jimmy Rogers (Jimmy Rogers), he seeks counsel from the wise Judge Reynolds (Robert Frazer), aiming to restore peace and order to their beloved Buffalo Buttes. Ignoring the menacing henchmen who lurk in Hammond's saloon, Cassidy boldly confronts them, cautioning them to abandon their lawless ways or face dire consequences. Hammond, however, remains unflinching, choosing to challenge Cassidy's warning with an army of forty thieves. This criminal squadron not only intimidates the ranchers but also rigs the election, stuffing the ballot box with counterfeit votes. But Cassidy, with his sharp eye for justice, sniffs out the forgery, and in a daring move, sends Jimmy to the Governor with the incriminating evidence. When Hammond's men intercept Jimmy, a thrilling game of wit and bravery begins. In a bold, strategic move, Cassidy swaps clothes with Doyle, compelling the false Sheriff to walk side by side with him, straight into the lion's den of Hammond's gang. As the odds stack against them in this high-stakes face-off, Cassidy's unwavering resolve to bring law-and-order back to Buffalo Buttes shines brighter than ever, promising an exhilarating ride for viewers.
