The Cisco Kid movies all start with the same premise: the Cisco Kid is presumed dead, so the real Cisco Kid is free to start over without the reputation of being a murder, bandit, and thief - even though he was never any of those things to begin with. In this one, Cesar Romero and his faithful sidekick Chris-Pin Martin travel to a town that's already out to get them. The Cisco Kid (in memory) has been accused of stealing land, but of course Cesar is innocent. Without revealing his identity, he tries to prove his innocence, get the girl, and keep his pal out of jail.

Chris-Pin actually gets a love interest in this installment, which is very cute. He tries to emulate his mentor by using some of the same lines and tricks, but they blow up in his face. He's not Cesar Romero, after all. You'll also see Sheila Ryan as Cesar's love interest, and Janet Beecher as a tough ranch owner with an interesting arrangement with the law: At suppertime, she welcomes anyone to her table. The back door to her house is always open, and any criminal or wanted outlaw can share her food without fear of arrest - even if the sheriff has a place at the table, too! Her house represents sanctuary, but once an outlaw leaves her house, it's every man for himself!

This cute series always follows the same pattern, so if you've gotten hooked on following the Cisco Kid and Gordito from town to town, you won't want to miss The Gay Caballero.
