Loaded Pistols - Gene Autry

1948 directed by John English and starring Gene Autry and his horse, Champion; and in lesser roles, Barbara Britton, Chill Wills, Jack Holt, Russell Arms, Robert Shayne, Fred Kohler and Clem Bevans. (good ‘ole Clem). Written by Dwight Cummins and Dorothy Yost.

When rough-ridin’ Gene Autry hears about the death of his old buddy Ed Norton, (NOT the Honeymooner’s Ed Norton, the other Ed Norton), who was killed during a dice game he sets out to find the killer. Instead he finds the innocent lad accused of the murder hiding out with his ever-helpful sister, who’s also a Western-cutie. Gene offers to help evade the sheriff until he can discover the real killer. (Could it be he really wants to, you-know-what to the sister? Oh, not, not Gene.)
