Synopsis by Hal Erickson
One Mad Kiss was designed to showcase the Latin-American performers in the employ of Fox Studios. Tenor Don José Mojica heads the cast as a dashing Spanish outlaw who fights the corrupt provisional government. Heroine Mona Maris despises the hero at first but learns to love both him and his cause. The evil governor hopes to capture the bandit by using an intercepted love letter as bait. Little does "the guv" know that Mojica is already one step ahead of him -- maybe even two. Broadway comedian Tom Patricola provides a few laughs in a frustratingly minor role.
