review
Neophyte tycoon Howard Hughes had almost bankrupted RKO by 1951 and the budgets for the company's B-Westerns were severely slashed as a result. So instead of a whole gang of henchmen, Hot Lead's villainous John Dehner employs only two, Robert J. Wilke and Paul Marion, who are made to earn every penny they got. The result is a rather slow-moving oater that tends to repeat itself.
