The Cisco Kid (Gilbert Roland) attacks a stagecoach carrying a wealthy young French person named Du Bois who ends up being Jeanne Du Bois (Ramsay Ames). The gang escapes with the money which Cisco says is money stolen for years from the poor of California. Of course, she soon falls in love with Cisco - and he with her, come on, he's Cisco and she's Ramsay Ames - and he gives her the money back. She has to decide what to do with it.
Directed by William Nigh and written by Charles S. Belden, this was another quick movie made for Monogram Pictures yet the Cisco Kid's legend has lived all the way to today, as I've been watching movies with the character in them all week.

Plot summary
In Old California, a young Frenchman transporting a chest full of silver travels by stagecoach to San Marino, to complete a complex business deal. The stagecoach is ambushed by a band of men whose leader, a mysterious bandido known as Cisco (Gilbert Roland), claims the silver is money that was extorted over a period of years from the poor people of California. The bandits take the money and escape, but Cisco stays behind with the Frenchman -- who, it turns out, is actually a lovely mademoiselle, Jeanne DuBois (Ramsay Ames). She follows him to the bandit's lair, where Cisco tells her he intends to return the stolen money to the poor people. The two rivals are irresistibly drawn to each other, however, and as a token of love Cisco offers to return the money to Jeanne instead. Now she must decide whether to complete her business deal, or to comply with Cisco's wishes and redistribute the wealth.

Beauty and the Bandit
Truly rotten business
I think that of all the villains that Gilbert Roland encountered in his Cisco Kid
films William Gould and Martin Garralaga are the scurviest. These two are
waging a kind of chemical warfare against the peasant population of San Marino,
California to get their land.
Roland gets involved because a beautiful senorita Ramsey Ames is investing
her money with Garralaga and Gould. She also comes in Male drag, but you
can't for the Cisco Kid in these matters.
There' a very exciting gun battle between Roland and Gould at the climax. Can't
describe it, you have to see it to believe..
One of the best Cisco kid movies with Gilbert Roland
