Check Your Guns is a 1948 western film directed by Ray Taylor and starring Eddie Dean, Roscoe Ates, and White Cloud. The movie revolves around a cowboy named Eddie Dean who tries to prove his innocence after he is wrongly accused of robbery and murder. The story begins when the local sheriff, played by Roscoe Ates, receives a message about a robbery of a stagecoach. The only witness to the crime is a blind man who senses that the robbers were three men on horseback. The sheriff and his deputy set out to find the robbers and bring them to justice.

Meanwhile, Eddie Dean, who is passing by the town, is mistakenly identified as one of the robbers. The sheriff and his posse go after Eddie, who manages to evade them and hide in the hills. He later meets White Cloud, a Native American woman, who helps him clear his name and find the real culprits.

Through a series of twists and turns, Eddie and White Cloud uncover a devious scheme involving a local banker and his henchmen. The banker, who is in cahoots with the real robbers, is using the stolen money to buy up land in the area. Eddie and White Cloud manage to convince the sheriff of their innocence and expose the true perpetrators.

The movie is a typical western fare, with gunfights, horse chases, and dusty landscapes. It also has a romantic subplot between Eddie and White Cloud, which adds a touch of sentimentality to the otherwise action-packed movie.

Eddie Dean, who was a popular cowboy singer at the time, also provides some musical interludes, including the title song "Check Your Guns." Roscoe Ates, who is known for his comical roles, provides some comic relief in his role as the bumbling sheriff.

The movie was shot in black and white, which adds to the gritty realism of the story. The actors give solid performances, and the direction is competent, if not exceptional. The movie manages to keep the audience engaged with its fast-paced action and suspenseful plot.

In conclusion, Check Your Guns is a enjoyable western movie that is sure to please fans of the genre. Although it may not break any new ground, it delivers on what it promises – a thrilling adventure set in the Old West. With its able cast and direction, it is a fitting addition to the canon of classic western movies.
