Roarin' Lead is a 1936 American Western film directed by Sam Newfield and Mack V. Wright and was the third entry of the 51-film series of Western "Three Mesquiteers" B-movies.
Plot summary Hackett is out to take over the Cattlemen's Protective Association by bankrupting them; secretly his men rustle the cattle forcing the payouts to the ranchers.
In an effort to obtain more funding, he orders an orphanage that was funded by the creators of the Association to be sold with the orphans to be purchased as child labour. The Three Mesquiteers step in to teach the bad guys a lesson they'll never forget.
