Story:

Review:
Gilbert Roland As The Cisco Kid
Gilbert Roland is the Cisco Kid, in the third of his six appearances in the role for Monogram, and Frank Yaconelli is Baby. Cisco has become a fighter for the rights of peasants in this outing of the series, against the local baddies who would steal their land. Being Gilbert Roland, of course, he is also a lover, particularly of Margorie Riordan, who is the most Irish-looking Mexican beauty I’ve seen in a while.
20th Century-Fox was getting out of B production in this period, and they sold their series to Monogram, including the Charlie Chan properties and this one. Monogram decided to make it a singing western of sorts, with three pretty good musical numbers, including the inevitable "Cielito Lindo". Roland swaggers his way through the role with his usual macho gusto. Written by boblipton on imdb.com
