The Cisco Kid radio show was a western drama series with a plotline that appealed greatly to children. Cisco and his sidekick Pancho were two carefree bandits who enjoyed stealing from evil rich people and using the money to help the poor. In fact, the announcer would often refer to Cisco as "The Robin Hood of the West". During its run, the series aired at least once per week and as much as three times per week.

Jason Beck, who was the first to provide the voice of the Cisco Kid, also was the announcer for more than 1600 episodes of the Superman radio show! When you hear the familiar, "Up in the sky! ... It's a bird!", that's Mr. Beck! He also did the voice of Bluto, Popeye's nemisis and many others.

Cisco's horse's name was "Diablo" and Pancho's was "Loco".
