As the film opens the nonspecific Western locale where Roy lives is suffering. Roy's home, already devastated by the Dust Bowl, has been further deprived of water by a rapacious water company that built a dam, which has dried up local streams. Desperate cattle ranchers have gone as far as raiding the dam and opening spill valves to return the water to their parched grasslands.Roy decides to take more active measures by running for Congress against the incumbent representative, William P. Scully, a stooge of the water company. Roy wins, but still has to fight John D. Fairbanks, the owner of the water company. In this he is assisted by Fairbanks's pretty daughter Eleanor, who has feelings for him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Under Western Stars was the first starring film role for Roy Rogers, who was already a big music star with his singing cowboy group Sons of the Pioneers.

Blasting It Out of Their Hands: We couldn't have the hero of a kid's cowboy movie actually kill a sheriff's deputy, after all. | |

B-Movie: One hour long, cheaply made and shot, typical of the wholesome family entertainment that would become Roy Rogers' trademark. | |

As You Know: Another character helpfully reminds Roy that he is the "son of a congressman, fighting the water company." | |

Corrupt Corporate Executive: Fairbanks, who has no scruples whatsoever about screwing the ranchers out of water and lying about it in the process. | |
