When villains plan to steal the Garcia jewels, the Rough Riders stop the thieves with Buck impersonating an outlaw, Tim a cattle buyer and Sandy as the janitor of the town's saloon.
Though set in Mexico, in order not to offend the United States' Good Neighbor policy, the Production Code Administration ordered changes to the script to not depict any Mexican outlaws or offensively characterise any Mexican nationals. [2]
