This Cisco Kid story has Duncan Renaldo and Martin Galarraga helping Gwen Kenyon who is an accused murderess of poisoning a woman she was taking care of. She was the principal heir to the woman's fortune. When about to be arrested she flees to New Mexico territorywhere Cisco takes a hand.

A rather elaborate trap is set by Renaldo to make the real murderer confess. And in church as well.

This film had a bit more plot than the usual Cisco Kid films. It'a a good one.

In his second movie playing the Cisco Kid, Duncan Renaldo starts out by robbing a stage and kidnapping passenger Gwen Kenyon. We soon learn it is all an act; she is wanted for a murder, but is being framed by the back-up heir.... although how he knows this at the start is never made clear.

Oh, well, it's a Monogram picture Phil Rosen adds some value by shooting part of it at the Mission San Fernando Rey, and there are a couple of good jokes in the script for Renaldo to say, plus a nicely convoluted plot. Also the song Aurora Roche sings in the cantina is a polka.

It's clear that Monogram wasn't paying much attention to the B series they had picked up from 20th Century-Fox, and they would soon replace Renaldo with the far more charismatic Gilbert Roland. But Renaldo would be back.
