"The Daring Cabellero" is another in the long running Cisco Kid series starring Duncan Renaldo as Cisco and Leo Carillo as Pancho.

Cisco and Pancho ride into a mission and are told by the Padre (Pedro de Cordoba) that a young boy in his care Bobby Del Rio (Mickey Little) has run away. Cisco and Pancho go after the boy and subsequently learn that his father, (David Leonard) has been wrongly convicted of murder and will be hanged the following day.

The boys are up against an unholy trio of villains including Mayor Brady (Steven Chase), bank president Hodges (Charles Halton) and Sheriff Scott (Edmund Cobb). There is also a lovely senorita (Kippee Valdez) to help the boys out.

Cisco breaks Del Rio out of jail and hides him out at the mission. It seems that Del Rio was framed for robbery and murder by the unholy three. Well, Cisco and Pancho uncover their plot and bring them all to justice, as we knew they would.

As was usual in the series, Leo Carillo fractures the English language is his humorous way.

This movie is paired with "Satan's Cradle" (1949) on DVD together with a circa 1975 press conference featuring Renaldo and Col. Tim McCoy discussing the making of their films.

This Cisco Kid movie has Cisco first finding a boy that ran from Father Pedro deCordoba's mission. Young Mickey Little is searching for his dad who has fled to parts unknown. David Leonard is accused of bank robbery and murder and he's the bank president.

Three upstanding citizens Marshal Edmund Cobb, Mayor Stephen Chase, and bank clerk did the deed. But Leonard has evidence n them that will clear him if he lives long enough.

Cisco is one sly rogue in this film baiting an eleaborate trap for these, Kind of like a short version of the Count of Monte Cristo.
