Desert Passage is a 1952 American Western film directed by Lesley Selander and starring Tim Holt, Richard Martin and Dorothy Patrick. It was the last of 46 westerns Holt made for RKO Pictures.
Tim Holt and old sidekick Chito Rafferty are considering getting out of the stagecoach business when they encounter John Carver, a prison parolee who supposedly has a stash of stolen loot hidden away. Everyone else they encounter is after the money, too.
The film recorded a loss of $30,000. Since Holt's movies had been losing money regularly over the past few years, it was decided to stop the series.
