Synopsis:
Cowhand Gene Autry and his partner, Frog Millhouse, help Arizona cattlemen who are trying to build a dam to bring water to their parched lands. Unscrupulous men, including town banker Moore and superintendent of the cattlemen’s irrigation company Conway, attempt to hinder these plans for their own profit. Gene volunteers as night-riding ditch guard, but is caught in rock avalanche when Bull, sabotaging construction boss, sets off a dynamite blast on purpose. Gene is saved by his own quick wit, so Conway has Bull stir up the construction workers into striking over failure of payment. When the payroll is stolen, Gene and Frog head to the desert to recover it, are pursued, and forced into leaping off a cliff into the Colorado River to escape. On their way back to town, they catch Bull and two men dividing the money. Bull confesses, but Conway and Moore start a battle between the cattlemen and the rioting construction crews. Gene arrives with the payroll money, hoping to end the riot by paying the men. In a final desperate effort to win, Conway and Moore open the dam’s floodgates. Gene is washed into the raging current, but saves the money. The two shady men, seeing the jig is up, attempt to escape on a construction train, and are killed when it collides with a flat car of dynamite.
Red River Valley is also known as Man of the Frontier.

Hi Terry I rearly enjoy seeing thees cowboy films, over here in s/w Ireland, especely when it is raining, which it does real regular, thanks for your truble colecting and protecting this heritage, and making it available. I come to N/W Arkansas, 3 times a year and travel extensivly, in these films it is nice to see the old USA as it once was. If I ever pass by your place I will call in. Keep up the good work and Good Luck from a very wet Ireland.
