The Cisco Kid Returns

Duncan Renaldo takes over as the Cisco Kid in the series, now from Monogram. He wants to get sweetheart Cecilia Calejo not to get married. To this end he borrows a small child. When he goes to return her, he finds her father dead. Soon he is accused the murder, joining the posse to track himself down, and getting involved in hijinks that gradually turn more serious.

One of the problems with looking at Monogram movies is the poor condition most of them are in, often VHS copies taped off 480-line television from 16mm. Prints. This was in pristine condition, showing that even Harry Neumann was a skilled and tasteful cinematographer. Unfortunately, the details of the movie are not as interesting as they might be. Director John McCarthy, in his last movie, seems more interested in the serious side of the story than in the humor. With Martin Garralaga, Roger Pryor, Fritz Leiber, and Bud Osborne.
