If the handbrake lever on one side is siezed, it can cause one drum not to lock. Take the drum off, disconnect the handbrake cable from the lever and remove the lever. Check it moves on the pivot, if not clean and grease it and put it back.
Its quite a simple job.
Other cause can be a siezed handbrake cable on one side.

Leaky wheel cylinder is another possibility, but would also kill the foot brake.

Yes, take all these bits apart, clean and grease as said above. Also the actuating mechanism inside the drums, with the lever that comes through the backplate and the shoe spreading mechanism. Do both sides, as they are certain to need it now, or very soon.

That screw holds the drum in place and should'nt be too tight. If you have an impact driver that will make light work of it.
Useful bit of kit to own, you put the bit in it and hit with a hammer, this turns the bit.

The impact holds the screwdriver bit down tight in the screw head to prevent it slipping and at the same time gives it a good jolt of untightening torque.
Extremely useful tool for old cars and other things, and not all that expensive.
The brake drum screw(s) perform no function when the wheel is on, but do prevent the drum becoming displaced when the wheel is off. A displaced drum can admit muck between the drum and hub, so the drum no longer runs true. For that reason it is good practice to always use the screw(s). 1/4" UNF. Worth fitting new screws an keeping spares in case they get chewed again. They always do, sooner or later, regardless of how much care is taken.

Which is good .. especially when you hit them and they break in two in your hand!!
