[Portrait of O. Henry]
INCORRECT
In O. Henry's story "The Caballero's Way" the Cisco Kid was a dangerous desperado. Later, on radio and television, Cisco became the heroic "Robin Hood of the Old West" with an amiable sidekick named Pancho.

William Sydney Porter (1862-1910) was American short story writer O. Henry.
The Cisco Kid television series originally ran from 1950-1956. 156 episodes were made and they are still shown. Duncan Renaldo starred as the valiant Cisco and veteran character actor Leo Carrillo portrayed his happy-go-lucky compadre Pancho.

Do these two wandering Hispanic do-gooders resemble a famous pair of characters from a great work of literature?

and Pancho]


from
THE CABALLERO'S WAY
by O. Henry

  The Cisco Kid had killed six men in more or less fair scrimmages, had murdered twice as many (mostly Mexicans), and had winged a larger number whom he modestly forebore to count. Therefore a woman loved him.
