King of The Cowboys

In King Of The Cowboys, Roy Rogers plays a rodeo star enlisted by the governor to stop a group of saboteurs. Roy joins a touring tent show and uncovers the gang leader (Gerald Mohr), who disguises himself as a mindreader. He is then framed for a shooting, and must not only clear his name, but bring the real culprits to justice. This Republic Pictures classic was directed by Joseph Kane, and includes Rogers performing songs such as "I'm An Old Cowhand," and "A Gay Ranchero," while the legendary Sons of the Pioneers perform "Red River Valley."
