 In the 1953 season star Duncan Renaldo (qv) was injured in a rock  fall and hospitalized, resulting in his missing nine episodes. To  cover for Renaldos absence on the show, the Cisco Kid was shown  wearing masks, disguised as a ghost and in other situations where a  double could be used for him and footage of him that had been  previously shot but not used was also used. He recorded his lines  from his hospital bed.
