However, a logal gangster Harmon (Fix) and his gang decides to kidnap the three men and hold them for ransom. Roy and his friends have to face modern weapons such as tommy guns, airplanes, two-way radios, fast cars, and smart big city gangsters in order to free the investors and save his town. Southward Ho! - In the first western to team Rogers with sidekick Gabby Hayes, Roy and Gabby play veterans of the Confederate Army who inherit half-ownership of a Texas ranch. Union Colonel Denbign (Boteler), who owns the other half of the ranch and has a poor past relationship with Roy and Gabby, is appointed military govenor of the district. A new police squadron just transferred to the district to help with "The Reconstruction" is discovered to be made up entirely of outlaws masquerading as policemen, who rob the surrounding ranches in disguise. The criminals murder the colonel, and it is up to Roy and Gabby to restore peace and lawfulness back to the territory. Roy even finds the time to romance the colonel's daughter Ellen (Roberts) and sings a couple of songs as well.
