He makes the blacksmith think his partner double-crossed him and then joins up with him as his new partner planning to lead the entire gang into a trap.
Review:
Subversion
The Cisco Kid and Pancho (Duncan Renaldo and Leo Carillo) are spotted where some bandits are headed over the border. With them marked as the evil-doers, Sergeant Joe Sawyer is assigned to them while they investigate the matter on their own and Renaldo romances Armida.
It’s fun to watch Renaldo subvert normal expectations with his sly and canny interpretation of a Mexican. American B westerns were rarely as cut-and-dried in their stereotypical assumptions, although their short lengths rarely gave them a chance to play with them unless it was central to the movie. Since that was the point of the Cisco Kid, like Charlie Chan, it just slipped by the audience. As usual, Cisco is a good-hearted fellow, not looking for trouble, although it continually finds him. Well, it’s a living in the movies. If Pancho is not so bright, well, he’s amiable enough. Written by boblipton on imdb.com
