Plot
Tom, The Lone Rider, is hiding out from bad-guys in Mexico with his friend Fuzzy. While there, Tom and Fuzzy agree to help the son of a Mexican mayor fake his own kidnapping so he can continue an affair the young man is having with a cabaret singer despite his father's objections. Unfortunately, when the young man is really kidnapped, Tom and Fuzzy take the blame.[4][5]
