Synopses for Son of Paleface (1952)

Bob Hope returned to the wild West in Son of Paleface, mining the rootin' shootin' genre for gag after gag. Hope plays Junior Potter--another variation on his lascivious, cowardly, yet somehow endearing persona--a college boy who's come to California seeking his father's hidden gold. What he finds is an empty treasure chest, a pile of unpaid bills, vengeful Indians, buxom Jane Russell (as a saloon girl by day, wily bandit by night), and singing cowboy Roy Rogers. It's prime silliness, an ancestor to movies like Airplane! that never let a moment go by without an absurd joke. Russell sashays about in spectacular form-fitting outfits, Rogers yodels a few tunes, and Hope snivels and wheedles his way out of endless scrapes. Good-natured slapstick (though its depiction of Native Americans will raise the hackles on politically correct viewers). --Bret Fetzer

This is the classic romance between a woman, a man and the horse he loves. When a wild bunch of robbers start terrorizing the wagon trail in the untamed west, two lawmen come riding (undercover) into a one-horse town to capture the gold marauders. And the moment beauteous local saloon mistress Mike spots righteous cowboy Roy, she falls right in love with him. Only problem: he prefers his horse to girls.
Into the midst of this lunacy -- and making matters worse -- steps Ivy League-educated tenderfoot Paleface Potter Jr, who's only concerned with getting his inheritance. But when he takes a shine to Mike, the lawmen hope Paleface will expose her as the criminal ringleader... while she just hopes he'll go away!

In this sequel to Bob Hope's 1948 hit "The Paleface," Hope is Junior Potter, a Harvard-educated man who heads West to claim the inheritance left him by his gunslinger father, only to discover that dad left him nothing but debts. To keep the angry creditors away, Junior pretends that his father has stashed away a fortune in gold somewhere in the hills, arousing the attention of curvaceous saloon owner Mike (Jane Russell), otherwise known as the mysterious masked bandit The Torch. A Federal Marshall tracks Junior, hoping to be led to The Torch and her gang.
