McCoy disguises himself as Miguel in our first feature, "Code of the Cactus" so he can infiltrate a gang of vicious rustlers.

In Code of the Cactus, Art Davis sings "Across the Border Line," a good song composed by Johnny Lange & Lew Porter. For some reason, neither the song title nor the singer are listed in the screen credits, but it's a very enjoyable, rare appearance. Usually, Davis was limited to secondary roles, mostly in Gene Autry films, but here he solos. The prints are not perfect, but far better than some I've paid more money for. "Cactus" has the better print. It features McCoy in a dual role, that of "Lightning Bill" Carson, which should be of special interest to members of shooting clubs or organizations like SASS, and "Miguel," a Mexican "bandido." The second film, Fighting Renegade, has him going undercover as "El Puma," a kind of Mexican Robin Hood. Dave O'Brien appears in both films, both are from 1939 and both are thoroughly enjoyable. Some of those older films (from the 1930s and early 40s) had more interesting story lines and were more fun than some with bigger production costs that came later.
