Plot

Set in the late 1800s of California, The Cisco Kid returns to the screen. The bandito, disguised with his men as an escort, ambushes a stagecoach which carries a wealthy young Frenchman named Du Bois. Du Bois is delivering a chest of silver to San Marino, and the Cisco Kid claims it is money that was stolen over many years from the impoverished people of California, and he intends to return it. The Kid's gang escape with the money, but the Cisco Kid stays behind, only to learn that Du Bois is actually a beautiful young woman, Jeanne Du Bois. Du Bois agrees to accompany the Kid back to his hideout, and the two find themselves attracted to one another even though they are on opposite sides. The bandit eventually offers to return the money to Du Bois, and she must then decide how distribute that money.
