The Cisco Kid: Medicine Man Show

The Cisco Kid: Medicine Man Show 

Originally broadcast in first-run syndication on Monday, October 8, 1951.

Plot: Cisco and Pancho uncover a plot to sell weapons to a tribe of Comanche Indians.

Analysis: Well, you knew we had to get an “Indians-on-the-warpath” storyline eventually, since that is a Western staple. What is kind of interesting about this one is we do not get to the Indians until the last five or ten minutes of the episode, so this is mainly an intrigue plot. Who knows what about what is going on and how will Cisco solve the puzzle?

Overall quality of the video is about what one would expect from Cisco Kid, some elements fairing better than others. I didn’t notice anything aside from occasional grain or a hair on the film, nothing to get too excited about anyway.

The Bottom Line: A bit of a different plot for Cisco, but nothing too different from what we have seen before. Have a look if so interested as this one is not too bad, but nothing award winning.

Medicine Man Show is one of twenty shows included in The Cisco Kid: Collection Two (http://www.amazon.com/Cisco-Kid-Collecti....86758713&sr=1-3). Prices vary, so do a little bit of research before putting down your cash for this one.

Next time... er, year, another Tale of Tomorrow. Have a Happy New Year everyone!
