Ride 'Em Cowgirl (DVD)

Honest rancher Helen Rickson is framed for a $5,000 theft, and must go into hiding with the law hot on her heels. It seems that crooked political boss, Sandy Doyle needs the Rickson Ranch to further his illegal gold smuggling operation, and means to take it using whatever means necessary. Dan Haggerty, who had been laying telegraph lines on the Rickson property when the theft was committed, realizes that Helen is innocent. Helen and Dan team up to clear her name and expose Doyle and his criminal empire.
