Plot

Unemployed Monte Hale meets Gloria McCoy and her brother Danny who is trying to get his horse, Pardner, into films. Monte finds that Pardner will dance while he sings and they take their act to a studio which gives them both parts in a Western musical. Monte has a jealous rival called Rod Mason who causes an explosion while Monte and Pardner are shooting a scene. The horse is scared and will no longer perform. After Monte wins a fistfight with his rival, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans arrive on set with Trigger. They sing a song with Trigger dancing and this inspires Pardner to dance again.
