The Cisco Kid: Ghost Story

The Cisco Kid: Ghost Story

Originally broadcast in first-run syndication on Monday, October 15, 1951.

Plot: Cisco and Pancho try to help the daughter of a rancher after the rancher is murdered under mysterious circumstances.

Analysis: Pretty plain vanilla Cisco episode here. We know who did the dirty deed early and it is just a case of waiting for Cisco and Pancho to figure it out. Oh, and the “Ghosts” in the title are basically the Western equivalent of Scooby-Doo and even that is a push.

The Bottom Line: This is what it is – another by-the-numbers Western for the young folks staring the Cisco Kid. The plot overall is nothing to challenge anyone’s brain and nothing that cannot be solved before dinner.

Ghost Story is among 20 episodes on The Cisco Kid: Collection Two (http://www.amazon.com/Cisco-Kid-Collecti....86758713&sr=1-3). Prices are pretty good right now if you want to give the show a try.

Next time, a show I personally have been looking forward to since I started the blog.
