Summary:
Tales of The Cisco Kid and his trusty sidekick Pancho as they travel about the West coming to the aid of those in need of it. This classic western series was the first to be filmed in color, even though the majority of television sets in the country were black and white. Interestingly, the main characters were Hispanic, presented in a positive manner, during a time when most programming on television featured Caucasian performers.--Package.
