Doris Kenyon and Tom Keene want to get married, but Charles Middleton wants her too. When dread Mexican bandit Rod La Rocque -- who hailed from Chicago -- rides into town looking for a bank to rob, Middleton offers him $1250 to kill his rival and leave the way clear for him. La Rocque, however, has a peculiar way of conducting business.
Charming and eccentric Mexican bandits were all the rage since In Old Arizona had won Warner Baxter -- who came from Columbus, Ohio -- an Oscar for playing the Cisco Kid. La Rocque is amusing, even though I found his "Speedy Gonzalez" accent and slow, slow delivery, tiresome. Mitchell Lewis plays La Rocque's sidekick -- he came from Syracuse New York -- but he doesn't have a line, so his Mexican accent doesn't come up.
The print I saw was pretty good in the sound department for the outdoors scenes, although the studio sequences were buzzy.
