Son of Paleface is a 1952 American comedy Western film directed by Frank Tashlin and starring Bob Hope, Jane Russell, and Roy Rogers.

Written by Tashlin, Joseph Quillan, and Robert L. Welch, the film is about a man who returns home to claim his father's gold, which is nowhere to be found.

Peter "Junior" Potter has graduated from Harvard and heads west to the western town of Sawbuck Pass to claim his father's fortune.

Driving into town in a jalopy, wearing a comical striped suit jacket, he splashes mud all over a crowd of townspeople.

Strutting around town in his dramatic red and white striped Harvard blazer, Junior stalls the townfolk for as long as he can, continually making allusions to his wealth.

Roy is a government agent with a Smith & Wesson Model 320 Revolving Rifle hidden in his guitar case, bent on capturing her.

The first choice Bob Hope wanted for the female lead was Maureen O'Hara, but she turned the film down.
