The team of Michael Chapin and Eilene Janssen return for their last Republic western as Red and Judy, surrogate siblings, known in their community as the little vigilantes protecting the local wild horses from a gang of forgers using them either for the glue factory or to smuggle counterfeit money into Mexico. After capturing alleged bandit
Richard Avonde, they discover that he's actually working for the fed's and his wanted posters are merely attempts to get the counterfeiters to find him.
Avonde is searching for Julian Rivero and Movita, kidnapping victims of the counterfeiters. They have taken Rivero, a plate designer of Mexican money, hostage, so he has put a clue mark on the plates to let the fed's know that he's being held against his will. Avonde uses this clue to locate him after being told by Chapin and Janssen of strange goings on at a cabin in the area, describing Rivero and his daughter.
To show off her smarts and bravery, Janssen tries to locate them. When caught by the counterfeiters, she manages to escape, and provides a brief distraction by singing "Cielito Lindo" in order to fool them, a cute moment. This has a unique story once again due to its young hero and heroine and the scheme of the counterfeiters. While I can see why this was the last gesture of the series, they should have moved Chapin and Janssen to TV where they would have brought in more young viewers, even if a Saturday morning series.
