In 12 action-packed episodes, fearless Rinty protects Dolores, the dead man's daughter, from ruthIess cantina owner Amos Harkey. The vilIain's gang would Iike nothing better than to shoot the brave German shepherd dead, but they need the ingenious dog to Iead them to the cIaim. MeanwhiIe, mysterious cabaIIero Ramon is suspected of being the notorious outlaw, The Cactus Kid, and must fend off both the Iaw and the deadIy goId-robbers as he tries to assist the lovely DoIores. Wild horse stampedes, dynamite, sandstorms, avaIanches, poison gas, or runaway wagons cannot prevent the worId's favorite canine hero from saving the day!
