Plot Cisco and Pancho are at the border of the Arizona Territory and Mexico where they see a platoon of U.S. Cavalry pursuing what looks to be a band of bandidos. Escaping to Mexico, one of the bandidos falls off his horse. Cisco and Pancho see that not only is he dead, but he is actually a Norteamericano in charro costume. Cisco and Pancho use the U.S. Army, the local newspaper, a bar girl and a variety of respectable American citizens by playing them off against each other to discover the Americans attempting to blame Mexicans for stopping Arizona Statehood.
