Roy Rogers's first movie. He even has Gene Autry's sidekick Smiley Burnette playing Frog Milhouse.

Prairie Moon with Gene Autry and Smiley Burnette.  Gene Autry plays a singing cattle herder and part-time deputy sheriff named Gene Autry.  When childhood-friend-turned-Chicago-gangster 'Legs' Barton dies in a shootout at the Barton family ranch, Gene agrees to care for his three sons.  He sends Smiley to fetch them from Chicago despite their lack of enthusiasm for ranch life.  Gene must also break up a cattle rustling gang that is using the Barton ranch to hide stolen cattle.

Man from Music Mountain with Gene Autry and Smiley Burnette.  Gene Autry plays a singing cattle rancher named Gene Autry.  Evil businessman John Scanlon (Ivan Miller) concocts a real estate scam to sell worthless property in an abandoned ghost town, on the promise that it will soon have electricity from the the just completed Boulder Dam.  To sweeten the deal, he includes an interest in a worthless community gold mine.  Gene knows that there are no plans to build power lines to the area and that the mine is worthless, but he cannot convince the naive people moving in from the city.  Gene decides to scam the scammer by seeding the mine with real gold, but inadvertently convinces even more people to move into town.  This gold rush causes the power company to change their plans and run power lines to the town.  Just when Gene has convinced Scanlon to buy back his worthless mine, real gold is uncovered.  Gene must then rush to stop the sale.  In this movie Autry was much more dishonest than the bad guy, but in the end the good guys win and the bad guys lose.

Familiar face: Dick Elliot as a representative of the Southwest Water & Power Company, who played the man on the porch in It's a Wonderful Life ("Why don't you kiss her instead of talking her to death!")

Smiley opens an electric appliance shop

Western Jamboree with Gene Autry and Smiley Burnette.  Gene Autry plays a singing ranch foreman named Gene Autry.  The villains in this movie are HELIUM rustlers! (I kid you not).  In a separate plot, Gene helps old Dad Haskell impress his daughter and her fiancé by letting them think Dad owns the ranch.  Smiley Burnette as Frog Millhouse is obsessed with balloons, which fits in nicely with the helium plot.

The Old Barn Dance with Gene Autry and Smiley Burnette.  Gene Autry plays a traveling singing horse trader named Gene Autry.  His horse auction company travels from town to town putting on music shows and selling horses.  Demand has lessened due to the modern move to tractors.  He is tricked into putting his shows on the radio to advertise for the crooked tractor company.  For the first half of this movie they averaged a musical number every 4 minutes.  I think this was Gene Autry's last film for Republic Pictures.  A bit player in this movie under the name of Dick Weston became Republic's new star cowboy in subsequent movies as Roy Rogers.
