According to J. David Golden:
The Cisco Kid. Program #3. Mutual-Don Lee net origination, Ziv syndication. “Lee Grant’s Ranch”. Commercials added locally. A thoroughly rotten money-lender named Jack Graff threatens to foreclose on a ranch when the owner Les Bryant discovers gold. The program number is subject to correction. The program title may be “The Man Trapped In The Cave.” Jack Mather, Harry Lang. 1/2 hour. Audio condition: Very good. Otherwise complete.
Additional notes:
At noon, in the heat of the day, Cisco and Pancho drift into town. They intervene with a man who is beating a horse, then part ways to have a bite to eat. The man who was bullying his horse, now tries to bully a rancher in paying up on a debt.
Fortune shines when the rancher’s son finds a couple gold nuggets in a cave. As the story unfolds, the boy meets Cisco, the bad guys blow up the cave entrance, when it becomes easier to kill the rancher than foreclose on his mortgage.
Time for the big climax. The boy shows Cisco the cave, now hidden by landslide. Can the rancher inside be rescued in time? Pancho is sent to round up ranchers to help. It sure would be bad luck if he ran into those bad guys, and got clobbered or something.
Will Cisco be able to ride down the bad guys, and dispense justice I think you know the answers to those questions, but listen in and see how Cisco and Pancho does it with flare.
