He plans to dam the river above the Bagley Ranch, diverting the water to his property leaving all the other ranchers dry and, while he is at it, to rustle all the Bagley cattle and fake a $5,000 mortgage on the ranch, licking new-owner Ridney T. before he starts. Roy Rogers, Gabby Whittaker and the Sons of the Pioneers, pass through the country just as Sylvia Clark, guardian of the one-year old Rodney T., arrives with her ward. They all arrive at the ranch just as Vera and Jackson are completing their frame-up. Roy is suspicious, and when Jackson informs Sylvia that the ranch is barren, has no cattle and a mortgage due in two weeks, Roy ... Written by Les Adams <[email protected]>

Roy Rogers (as Roy), George "Gabby" Hayes (as Gabby), and "The Sons of the Pioneers" help guardian Helen Parrish (as Sylvia Clark) claim and manage the land inherited by her ward, Baby Rodney. Bagley Ranch keeper Joan Woodbury (as Vera Martin) and cohort Onslow Stevens (as Jackson) want to swindle the ranch out of the infant's little hands. The pervasive bright-as-sunlight moonlight is more distracting than usual, since the incorrect time of day referred to several times in succession. Having a baby around to serenade ups the cuteness level considerably. "Sunrise Serenade" ends as Rogers and Trigger struggle to save Frank M. Thomas (as Sheldon) from an approaching water rapid; but, it isn't enough to lift the film.
