IMDb profile

Son of Paleface (1952), is a western comedy film and sequel to The Paleface (1948), directed by Frank Tashlin and written by Tashlin, Joseph Quillan and Robert L. Welch. It is widely regarded as superior to the earlier movie.

Son of Paleface features Bob Hope, who plays the son of the central character in the earlier film (also played by Hope), Jane Russell (also back from the first film, albeit as a different character), and Roy Rogers, who sings his song "A Four Legged Friend" to his horse Trigger. Russell plays torch singer "Mike" Delroy and her alter ego "The Torch", a masked lady bandit who has been terrorising the town of Sawbuck Pass and the local district. Rogers is the undercover agent sent to catch her, while Hope is the wise cracking easterner come west to collect his father's fortune.
