The Cisco Kid's in trouble again - and this time, before he even steps on the screen! His saloon singer girlfriend, Mary Beth Hughes (who was also seen as a saloon floozy in Lucky Cisco Kid) turns in The Cisco Kid for a reward to the sheriff. But, when she tries to tell them the famous bandit is Cesar Romero, he's already smelled the whiff of trouble and taken off with his faithful sidekick Gordito (Chris-Pin Martin).
The rest of the movie is a series of near-misses of Cesar's true identity getting found out. Even though he's more of a Robin Hood than a real bandit, his face still graces the Wanted posters. In a funny segment, they try to lure out the Cisco Kid through a dance auction. Whoever bids the highest wins a dance with Mary Beth; Cesar also gets to show off his ballroom training in this movie! As the title suggests, Cesar and Chris-Pin have to keep riding on - I think. So, even though Cesar's good-natured and doesn't hold a grudge against Mary Beth, don't hold your breath to see her in the next installment in the series. Unfortunately, you won't get to see Cesar himself in the next installment, either. It's time to pass the baton again. Before Cesar it was Warner Baxter, and for the next three Cisco Kid movies Duncan Renaldo takes over. It was a fun six movies while it lasted. And Ride on Vaquero certainly gives him a fun send-off.
