This little noticed low budget western is actually entertaining. Nothing great, but well worth your time. Three gringos head south to Mexico to make a sizable deposit in a Mexican bank. Their hopes of making new lives in a little village with the chance of living out their lives peacefully doesn't set long. These aren't just gringos, but Butch Cassidy(Neville Brand), Sundance Kid(Alan Hale Jr)and Bill Carver(Robert Christopher), who end up looking for banditos led by El Gallo(Rodolfo Hoyos)that have robbed the bank of the outlaws stash.My favorite scene is of El Gallo with a Mexican sweetie sitting on his lap...he stands up and the senorita falls hard and heavy to the floor. Supporting cast features: Jeanne Carmen, Jose Gonzales-Gonzales, Lillian Molieri and Robert Tafur. Another familiar character actor Harry Lauter has a small role. Thank you Encore Westerns Channel.

The plot: Ready to quit their life of crime, the three "most-wanted" outlaws in the West---Butch Cassidy (Neville Brand), Sundance Kid (Alan Hale) and Bill Carver (Robert Christopher)---perform their final job by robbing and stealing a train and fleeing across the border.In a South American town they begin their life of respectability by purchasing a ranch and depositing their stolen fortune in the local bank, and throwing a big fiesta to entertain the locals, including Colonel Aguilar (Robert Tafur)and his beautiful daughter Rita (Lillian Molieri.) During the festivities the bank is robbed by the famous outlaw El Gallo (Rudolfo Hoyos)and his banditos, having learned from informant El Rataan (Jose Gonzalez Gonzalez). Facing bankruptcy and deportation, the three outlaws stage a series of robberies made to appear as though carried out by El Gallo.Meanwhile, an American detective, Charlie Trenton (Bruce Bennett), arrives and sets out with Colonel Aguilar to arrest the Americans, but they are tipped off by Rita, who has fallen in love with the Sundance Kid, and they escape.Suspecting that El Gallo is innocent of the recent robberies, Trento persuades him to assist in capturing Cassidy, Sundance and Carver. The ending is not quite as stylized as "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", but the results are the same. And the audience is spared "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head."

There are no credits given for the song or the singer for the ballad with which this movie begins, either at the beginning or end of the film itself or here at IMDb. I assume Paul Dunlop at least wrote it since he is credited with songs for other western films.If anyone finds out the name of the singer, please post it. He's not bad. I'm amazed anyone else saw this. I caught it by accident on the Western Channel (Starz) and surprised that a film boasting Neville Brand, plus other famous character actors like Alan Hale, Jr. and Bruce Bennett would be so unknown.

This is basically "just another" low-budget western from the fifties. Butch Cassidy and the Kid go to Mexico, trying to become legit. Alas, they are forced back into their outlaw ways.Yeah, well, Redford and Neuman it 'aint. There is very little insight into any of the characters' personalities. It's pretty much based purely on action. However, It is a few notches above most of the shlock westerns from that period, having a solid story line, decent acting, and tight direction / editing.Odd to see Alan Hale (The skipper from Gilligan's island) as a leading man. He does OK, but was certainly did not have "star" quality and is in fact this films main downfall.Well, this is a flick that will pass the time, but don't go out of your way to see it.
