This is the second movie in the "Lone Rider" series, which spans 17 films -- eleven starring George Houston, and a further six starring Robert Livingston.[3]

Houston, once an opera singer, sang three songs in this film: "It's a Gay Fiesta", "Git Along Cowboy" and "I'm Pancho, the Mexican Bandit". The songs were written by Johnny Lange and Lew Porter.[2]

Plot

Tom, The Lone Rider, is hiding out from bad-guys in Mexico with his friend Fuzzy. While there, Tom and Fuzzy agree to help the son of a Mexican mayor fake his own kidnapping so he can continue an affair the young man is having with a cabaret singer despite his father's objections. Unfortunately, when the young man is really kidnapped, Tom and Fuzzy take the blame.[4][5]
