Hot Lead and Cold Feet (originally titled Welcome to Bloodshy) is a 1978 American comedy-Western film produced by Walt Disney Productions and starring Jim Dale (in triple roles), Karen Valentine, Don Knotts, Jack Elam and Darren McGavin.
[1] Mayor Ragsdale (Darren McGavin) and Sheriff Denver Kid (Don Knotts) meet wealthy businessman Jasper Bloodshy (Jim Dale) and his English butler Mansfield (John Williams) on the outskirts of the Wild Western town of Bloodshy in the Arizona territory.
After revealing that he wrote a new will to include both sons, a huge gust of wind blows Bloodshy into a gorge, presumably to his death.
Living in Philadelphia, Eli Bloodshy (also played by Jim Dale) works as a Salvation Army missionary with two orphan children named Roxanne (Debbie Lytton) and Marcus (Michael Sharrett).
In the town of Bloodshy, Billy (also played by Dale) has earned a reputation as a hot-headed gunslinger who local residents fear.
The reading of the will reveals that a winner-takes-all contest—the "Bloody Bloodshy Trail"—is involved in awarding the inheritance, including the town, the surrounding land, and an immense fortune.
Secluded outside of town, it is revealed that Jasper Bloodshy faked his own death to keep a watchful eye over his sons' contest.
At a revival meeting the night before the contest, Eli announces that he intends to remain in Bloodshy and use his inheritance to build a new church and school.
The contest will be an obstacle course involving a series of challenges including operating a train engine, paddling through whitewater rapids, scaling the side of a mountain, crossing a gorge using a rope, and racing a horse-drawn wagon to the finish line.
They head to Cactus Ridge as Jasper reveals he intends to check on his two daughters, Callico Cate and Wildcat Winnie.
