Her press agent sees an opportunity for a headline story and spreads the word that she has been kidnapped. The military is dispatched to rescue her, but she falls in love with the bandit instead.
1936 American musical comedy western romance film directed by Crane Wilbur and starring Lili Damita, Fred Keating, and Renee Torres. A separate Spanish-language version was also produced.
The film opens with American movie star Diane Corday and her press agent, Jerry Allen arriving in the Republic of Alturas for a personal appearance tour. While Diane and her fiancé are giving a radio interview, they are overheard by Pancho, a local bandit who has a crush on Diane. Pancho decides to contact them and invite them to his hacienda. Jerry sees this as an opportunity for a headline story and sends out a bulletin that Diane has been kidnapped. The news causes an uproar, and the American consul demands that the military governor send an expedition to rescue Diane. Diane then explains that Pancho has not abducted her and that the entire ordeal was a press agent's fiction, but Pancho's life will be in danger as they go with orders to kill him.
It was based on a play written by Crane Wilber himself about a Latin American freedom fighter. It was shot using the Cinecolor process.
