Shooting High is a 1940 American Western film directed by Alfred E. Green and starring Jane Withers, Gene Autry, and Marjorie Weaver.

This feud is revived when the town banker tries to construct a highway through the area where a monument is installed to the frontiersman ancestor of one of the families.

Marjorie's father, Calvin Pritchard (Frank M. Thomas), is the bank president and mayor of Carson's Corners.

He pretends to support Will's courtship of his daughter because he needs to acquire a piece of Carson property for a proposed highway through the area.

Wanting her sister to marry Will, Jane and the sheriff devise a plan to frighten Merritt out of town, telling him a lynch party is after him.

Learning of the theft, Will pursues the gangsters on horseback, catches them, and brings them back to Carson Corners with the money.
