Red Hot Leather is a 1926 American silent Western film directed by Albert S. Rogell and starring Jack Hoxie, Ena Gregory, and Billy Engle.

[1][2] As described in a film magazine,[3] Jack Lane, dejected after an unsuccessful attempt to borrow money in the east to hold his father’s ranch from the clutches of a heartless mortgage holder, on the train meets Ellen Rand, who is smitten at the sight of the first real cowboy she has ever known, and in turn smites the cowpuncher.

Upon reaching home, Jack is overjoyed to hear that she is a nurse come to take care of his paralytic father, who steadily weakens from the fear that the old ranch will be foreclosed on the twentieth of the month.

Morton Kane, who holds the mortgage and who has discovered oil on the ranch unknown to the owner, plots with his son Ross, who would like to get the young woman away from Jack, to keep him from entering the events.

Ellen rides him to the rodeo, arriving in time to enter him for the relay race, which Jack wins along with the bucking horse event.
