Loaded Pistols

Loaded Pistols is a 1948 American Western film directed by John English and starring Gene Autry, Barbara Britton, and Chill Wills. Written by Dwight Cummins and Dorothy Yost, the film is about a cowboy who protects a young man wrongly accused of murder, while trying to find the real badguys.

Later, Gene discovers that Larrys gun, which was used in the killing, was offered as collateral during the dice game, and anyone could have taken it and shot Ed when the lights in the room went out. To allude a posse, Gene takes Larry to a cabin belonging to his prospector friend, Jim Hedge Clem Bevans. When Gene questions him about the game, Larry tells him that either Dave Randall Jack Holt or Don Mason Robert Shayne, who were both playing in the game, suggested that he put up the gun. Gene rides back into town to continue his search for the real killer.Meanwhile, Mason offers to purchase the Evans ranch from Mary and help Larry to escape across the border. Gene overhears the conversation and is surprised by the large amount of money Mason is proposing to pay for the property. When Gene returns to Jims cabin, he is followed by the sheriff. Although Gene manages to warn Larry of the lawmans presence, Larry is convinced that Gene has betrayed him. ........
