The movie opens with Roy Rogers and his friends as they compete in a rodeo competition. After the show, Roy goes to visit an old friend, Gabby, who is a horse trainer.

Once they find Lady, the two friends learn that she has been injured and may never race again. Roy is devastated, but he refuses to give up hope. He decides to nurse her back to health and train her for a big race that could help them recoup their financial losses.
As Lady recovers, Roy and Gabby become more and more attached to her.

Roy is determined to get Trigger in top racing shape so they can win the big race and get revenge on the man who stole her.
