The Cisco Kid tv show photo

Early syndicated Western that was one of the first television shows to be filmed in color. Based on characters created by O. Henry, the series dealt with the adventures of the Robin Hood like bandit, the Cisco Kid (Duncan Renaldo) and his sidekick, Pancho (Leo Carillo). Strangely their horses Diablo and Loco were almost as popular as their humaan riders. Yet few images of them exist today.
