This is probably the best of the Gilbert Roland Cisco Kid series. First, there is no overdubbing. Second, Cisco keeps the womanizing to a minimum, it's not totally gone, of course, but at least the plot is not entirely about women. Maybe because the director this time was a woman? Instead, Cisco and Pancho try to clear the name of a friend falsely accused of murder. At one point Cisco narrowly misses death by firing squad. Chris-Pin Martin's first role as Pancho is a huge upgrade from Frank Yaconelli's "Baby" character.
