Guns of Hate is a 1948 Western film[2][3] directed by Lesley Selander featuring RKO's Western stars Tim Holt, with Nan Leslie and Richard Martin.
Plot
Bob and Chito are two unemployed and down on their luck itinerant wranglers. They help an older man, Ben Jason, replace the broken wheel on his wagon in a desolate part of Arizona. For their generosity, they are given a gold nugget and an offer of "pick and shovel" work at Ben's mine. Visiting Matt Wyatt, an assayer in the nearest town, Bob and Chito learn the nugget is of high purity, and sell it for $50. Wyatt checks it against a sample and recognizes it must be from the fabled Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine. Chito reveals that Ben Jason gave them the nugget. Matt schemes with the town boss, Anse Morgan, to steal the map of the mine from Ben before he stakes his claim. Ben is murdered. His daughter, Judy, accuses Bob and Chito. Bob and Chito break jail and set matters right.
