Sunset Serenade

Sunset Serenade is a 1942 American Western film directed by Joseph Kane and starring Roy Rogers, and George "Gabby" Hayes.

Vera Martin, a scheming housekeeper in her late twenties, receives orders to vacate the Bagley Ranch, over which she has held sway since the death of the owner.

He plans to dam the river above the Bagley Ranch, diverting the water to his property leaving all the other ranchers dry and, while he is at it, to rustle all the Bagley cattle and fake a $5,000 mortgage on the ranch, licking new-owner Ridney T. before he starts.

Roy Rogers, Gabby Whittaker and the Sons of the Pioneers, pass through the country just as Sylvia Clark, guardian of the one-year old Rodney T., arrives with her ward.

They find the stolen cattle and Roy sells them to government buyer Clifford Sheldon for enough money to clear the fake mortgage.
