The Cisco Kid 379 Episodes
The Cisco Kid was one of radio’s most enduring Western adventure series, telling the story of the gallant outlaw-hero Cisco and his jovial sidekick Pancho as they traveled the Southwest righting wrongs, protecting the innocent, and outwitting villains. Loosely based on a character created by author O. Henry, Cisco became a far more heroic figure on radio than in the original short story, where he had been portrayed as a desperado. On the air, Cisco was transformed into a noble and chivalrous champion of justice, making him a beloved figure for children and families alike.
With its lively banter, thrilling action, and colorful Southwestern setting, The Cisco Kid became one of the most popular syndicated radio series of all time.
The Stars
Cisco was played by several actors during the show’s long run, most famously Jack Mather, who gave the character his confident, warm, and heroic voice. His loyal companion Pancho—known for his humor, catchphrases, and comic misadventures—was played by Harry Lang.
Together, their chemistry brought charm and lightheartedness to the show, making the Cisco–Pancho duo one of radio’s most memorable partnerships.
Key Dates
• The Cisco character first appeared in O. Henry’s 1907 short story “The Caballero’s Way.”
• The Cisco Kid radio series premiered in 1942 and became a long-running syndicated hit.
• It remained on the air until 1956, producing over 600 episodes, making it one of the longest-lived Western programs in radio history.
Other Information
Each episode of The Cisco Kid followed a simple but engaging formula: Cisco and Pancho would encounter trouble in a frontier town, such as corrupt officials, greedy landowners, or dangerous bandits. With courage, cleverness, and often Pancho’s comedic relief, Cisco would set things right—always leaving behind a sense of justice and goodwill.
The series was deliberately family-friendly, with stories that blended Western action with humor and moral lessons. Its syndication allowed it to be broadcast nationwide, and it remained a favorite among children’s radio programming well into the 1950s.
The program’s lasting popularity also helped pave the way for a successful television adaptation (1950–1956), which extended the Cisco legend for a new generation of fans.
Today, The Cisco Kid is remembered as one of the great family-oriented Westerns of old-time radio—a charming blend of heroism, humor, and adventure that brought the romance of the Old West into millions of homes.
