Synopsis

The Cisco Kid is captured while keeping a rendezvous with cantina dancer Dolores but is released by his captor, the commander of a U.S. Army regiment, to help break up a kidnap ring. On his way to Las Tables with his pal, Gordito, he makes a stop at the Martinez Rancho, where they learn that his friend Carlos has been kidnapped, from his wife Marquerita. At the Crystal Palace Saloon, Cisco runs into an old girlfriend, Sally, who he once jilted for a tight-rope walker, but she doesn't betray him when the sheriff and an army officer enter searching for Cisco.

MartinHafer This is just an okay outing for Cesar Romero as 'The Cisco Kid'. I say okay because it's the last appearance by Romero as the character...and I wanted more! Also, unfortunately, instead of punching folks in the face or shooting his enemies, this time you find the Kid dancing...a lot!When the film begins, Cisco is captured by the US Army and the Commander has an interesting proposition--that Cisco should work for the government to find out who's behind a string of kidnappings. But, to do this, they have to make it look like Cisco and Gordito escape from prison...which soon occurs. What follows is a lot of romancing and dancing and the like.This isn't a bad film, as it's hard to imagine Romero ever making a bad film because he's such a likable actor. But there isn't a lot of depth to this one and it's sad that this is Romero's swan song to the franchise...he could have been given better material.
bkoganbing With Ride On Vaquero Cesar Romero said farewell to playing the Cisco Kid for 20th Century Fox. He did all together six films as O'Henry's famous outlaw. As always the accent is on romance and charm and Romero's use of both to get himself and out of trouble.But with what happens to him in the beginning of the film Romero is ready to give up women. During a rendezvous with a pretty girl soldiers break in and arrest him and his ever faithful Sancho Panza Chris-Pin Martin.While in jail the army colonel Paul Harvey offers him a Dirty Dozen type deal. In a nearby town some prominent local citizens are being kidnapped and one of them is the son of an old friend. Romero jumps at that deal as it involves a pardon. Of course in the town Romero meets up with another old flame Mary Beth Hughes who were never quite sure of because she did not like having him run out on her. As for the kidnappers they prove to be some of the town's most solid citizens.Ride On Vaquero offers his fans a chance to see Cesar Romero as dancer. He started out as a dancer and no doubt could have done musicals full time. Romero and Mary Beth Hughes are an attractive pair entertaining the denizens of the saloon she entertains at.Warner Baxter, Cesar Romero, Gilbert Roland, and Duncan Renaldo each offered a different Cisco Kid interpretation. I think a lot will agree that Romero's is a smooth and charming one.
