Under the guise of a performer on a showboat called "The Yellow Rose of Texas",[3] Roy meets Betty Weston, the daughter of the falsely-accused Sam Weston, who has recently escaped from prison.[1] Together, Roy and Betty set out to prove her father was wrongly accused and track down the real criminal.
