"Well, howdy buckaroos, it's your old pal Gabby Hayes, with another rip roarin' Western yarn." That's how the lovable curmudgeon Hayes begins his introduction to edited versions of 1940's PRC westerns (starring Buster Crabbe, Eddie Dean, Lash La Rue, Tex Ritter) that appeared on TV in the 1950's. Hayes begins and ends each episode with humorous tales of the exploits of his zany relatives as he happily whittles away. Episode 1: Landowner Fuzzy (Al St. John) is framed for rustling and murder. McAllister's mob plans to hang the sheriff high as Fuzzy languishes in the jailhouse. Billy Carson (Buster Crabbe) must save the day.
Episode 2: Marshal Eddie Dean rides to the aid of pretty rancher Martha Devery (Peggy Wynne) who is betrayed by a crooked sheriff and tormented by outlaws including ringleader Rip Caxton (I. Stanford Jolley).
Episode 3: Tex Haines (Tex Ritter) must face the Whispering Skull, a murdering villain who frightens ranchers into selling their land.
Episode 4: Tex Haines (Tex Ritter) referees a nasty war between sheep ranchers and cattle ranchers, a bitter feud that quickly leads to murder.
