   homestead of Mr. Rumson and his daughter. He tries to draw
   the fire of the outlaws away from the house, but he is
   outnumbered six to one. Suddenly the gunfight is
   interrupted by the appearance of a peddler's wagon. The
   driver is singing at the top of his lungs, which for some
   reason causes the marauders to flee. The singer introduces
   himself as Ben Weber, a music teacher wishing to set up
   shop in Purple Valley. Introductions complete, the two
   check on the Rumsons, whos home is in flames. Wayne
   arranges for Weber to take the Rumsons into town. Miss
   Rumson seems to recognize Ben Weber, but he denies ever
   being in Purple Valley before. A few days later, John Wayne
   meets Miss Rumson on the way to a music lesson, and it's
   obvious that there's a romance budding. While in the barber
   shop, Wayne hears gunfire and singing as the bank is being
   robbed, and begins to think Ben may be the ringleader of
   the robbers. With the help of the sheriff, and the
   reluctant Miss Rumson, Wayne lays a trap for the gang
   during the stage shipment of some ore. While Miss Rumson is
   at her music lesson, the trap is sprung. Wayne catches the
   leader and brings him to town, where everyone realizes
   there seems to be two Ben Webers. One of them, the gang
   leader, is Ben's twin brother, Rafe. -- Call no.:
