arriving at johnson's offices, gene meets katherine "kit" carson (ruth terry) and her friend, jane oakley (dorothea kent), who want johnson to sponsor them on a radio show. kit is unimpressed with gene's whippasaw origins, especially after he accidentally breaks her demo record. during her meeting with johnson, kit notices he is still a cowboy at heart, and lies to him, saying she intends to broadcast a western show from her ranch—in whippasaw. johnson agrees to visit her ranch, and then leaves before gene has a chance to see him about the cattle prices. returning to whippasaw, gene learns that his sidekick, frog millhouse (smiley burnette), rented their ranch to kit and her fellow entertainers. kit's feelings for gene warm after he rescues her from a runaway carriage.
