Four years after his hit comedy The Paleface, Bob Hope returned to the screen as Junior Potter, son of Painless Peter Potter, the hapless hero of the first film. The Harvard-bred Junior heads out west to claim his father's inheritance. Returning for the sequel, but in a different role, is Jane Russell (The Outlaw) as an outlaw named Mike who continually has to save our hapless hero. Also starring in the sequel is the King of the Cowboys himself. Hope teams with the pair to help get to the bottom of a gold shipment robbery. Also returning for the sequel is the Oscar-winning song "Button and Bows." Co-writer and director Frank Tashlin, a former cartoonist and screenwriter for the first Paleface, also worked with Hope on the Private Navy Of Sgt. O'Farrell and wrote and directed several Jerry Lewis films such as Cinderfella and The Geisha Boy.
