This is the story of the motherless daughter of an undercover marshal (Hoot Gibson) operating a medicine show as a front. At night the girl secretly dons a black outfit, and, as "El Coyote" fights the bad guys. Of course, Daddy has no idea, and once they're vanquished she's quite eager to marry her boyfriend and be a full fledged girl again.
Though it's silly and corny in spots, the movie has good action scenes and some serious violence. This film is not as juvenile as the title might suggest. Both good and bad people die, and the Western atmosphere is not unrealistic. Laurie Anders "the daughter" is extremely attractive, both in looks and manner, (one of my earliest crushes in fact) and most of the other performances are quite good. However, producer Ken Murray's attempts at comedy (in the part of a gambler) fall flat for the most part. Although not overtly satirical, some of the scenes are played with tongue slightly in cheek, usually in an effective manner.
Hardly great cinema but very entertaining, both for young and old, with a good ballad style running theme song sung by Tex Ritter. Well worth your time.
