Here's adventure.

Here's romance.

Here's O. Henry's famous Robin Hood of The Old West.

The Cisco Kid!

Look, Cisco, there goes that thief who stole Diablo.

Let's catch him.

Stay close behind and trail him until he stops of his own

accord.

Let's went.

(gunshot) Nothing you can do with him,

Cisco, he's too dead.

Let's see if Diablo's all right.

Bueno.

Hey, Cisco, this saddlebag is full of things.

Let's see, Pancho.

Say, this is a Faro box.

Faro box?

You know something?

This box has been rigged for cheating.

Cheating-- you mean, that's why they shot him?

Because he's a crooked gambler?

Maybe.

Let's see what is in this.

Look at the money!

Ooooh, eehola.

Hey, money.

Wait a minute, there's a letter here too.

You gonna read somebody else's mail, Cisco?

Pancho, that money is not ours.

Maybe in the letter, we can find out where to return it.

What it say?

"Dear Uncle Fernando, after all these years I have found

you, the only living relative of my poor mother.

I only wish we could have met while my parents were still

alive.

But though I have never seen you, they spoke so highly of you

that I feel sure you will not fail me now when I need you so

badly.

Please come.

I have no one else to turn to.

The enclosed check is just in case you happen to be short of

funds.

With love from your niece, Delores James."

Hey, Pancho?

Huh?

This letter was mailed three weeks ago.

Three weeks ago?

That's right.

You know, maybe it's better that Miss James never met her uncle.

A card sharp and a horse thief.

She might have had a terrible disappointment.

What you gonna do now?

Well, first of all, we'll have to return the borrowed

horse.

Then, Pancho, I'm afraid we'll have to bring some very sad news

to Miss Delores James.

Come on, let's go.

I think I told you to keep away from here, Riddle.

Nothing personal in my call this time, Miss Delores.

I'm here on business.

Bring him over here, boys.

You give anyone orders to sell any of your calves today?

No.

I thought not.

Juan, what's the meaning of this?

This fellow Juan came to your place about two weeks ago,

wasn't it?

That's right.

You took him in, fed him, gave him a job?

Yeah.

This is how he tried to repay you for your kindness.

This morning, he tried to sell me 15 head of your cattle.

So we'll take him to the sheriff.

I don't think this man meant to steal from me, and I'm

bringing no charges.

Now, wait a minute, Dee.

Miss James to you.

Whether you bring charges or not, a thief is a thief.

And this fellow's guilty.

Yes, he's guilty all right.

Guilty of trying to help me.

Hey, Cisco, I wonder what kind of trouble the Senorita is

in over there?

I don't know, Pancho.

But those men don't look good to me.

He tried to sell 15 head of your cattle without your

authority.

So we'll let the sheriff figure out whether that's rustling or

not.

Riddle, I don't think you ever intend to let the sheriff

see this man alive.

Say.

What?

Do you think that man is a rustler?

No, Cisco, but I wouldn't want to see him on the end of a

rope.

I think we better help him, Pancho.

You are now Don Fernando.

You've got yourself a niece.

Come on, boys.

Having a little trouble here?

No trouble, just business. And it's all ours.

Maybe not.

Did I hear you say that this man tried to sell you some J brand

cattle?

That's right.

You can turn him loose, he had the authority.

Who gave it to him, you?

No, but my friend did.

Allow me to introduce Senor Fernando Ramirez.

Miss James' uncle.

Buenos Dias, Senor, glad to meet you, but I'm sorry for the

confusion, you see, the-- Wait a minute.

Let's see proof you're her uncle.

How do I know you're not in with this fella?

Fernando Ramirez don't have to prove nothing.

I advise you, let this man go and get your men off the ranch.

Is that the way you want it, Miss James?

Yes, Riddle.

My uncle was a bit delayed getting here, but he'll be

handling my affairs from now on.

Yeah, and don't come back till the Senorita send for you.

Come on, boys.

Uncle Fernando!

You see, Senorita, I really didn't need the money you sent

me but, a friend of mine's horse was stolen and we didn't get him

back for a couple or two days.

You're here now, Uncle Fernando.

That's all that matters.

Yeah, you know that was a nice dinner you served, Senorita

Delores.

Senorita Delores?

Yes.

Uh-uh, just Delores.

My friends call me Dee.

Oh.

Why didn't you ever write me a letter, Uncle Fernando?

Well, to tell you the truth, I-- I give up writing letters a

long time ago, because I jump around so much.

Well, you don't have to move around anymore.

You have a home now.

Ah, but, Senor, you don't know these men.

Every one that works for the Senorita, all her friends.

They have all either turned against her or have been run

away.

Most of them have never returned.

If you hadn't stopped them, they would have killed me too.

That's a very serious situation, Juan.

Tell me, did the Senorita talk much about her uncle's coming?

What do you think?

Well, I guess I better start telling you my troubles.

No, don't start tolding me the troubles now.

Why don't we wait till Cisco comes back?

He's out there feeding the horses.

It is nice to have the Senores here.

For what you did today, we will be eternally grateful.

You're right, Juan.

With Uncle Fernando here and your help too, Cisco, I am sure

I can prove father didn't shoot himself.

You see, Cisco, we was waiting for you, Cisco, so she

could tell you the story.

(gunshot) Stay there, Senorita.

You see anything, Cisco?

No, they were too fast.

They got away.

It's some of the people that think father robbed them.

They're here to drive us away from here.

Please, Senorita, tell us everything.

We may be able to help you.

Uncle Fernando, you remember father owned the bank in town.

When it failed a few years ago, father mortgaged everything to

try and pay back the depositors.

He'd almost raised the money when he died.

He was a good man, Cisco.

Uncle Fernando knows that.

But the people in town have ruined his name.

They say he lost their money and then shot himself.

But they're wrong, Cisco.

He was murdered.

Senorita, is there anybody in town that you can trust?

That he trusted?

That's just it.

He died alone, in the office of a friend of his, a Roland

McCard.

Mr. McCard testified at the coroner's inquest as a character

witness, but the verdict was suicide.

And now they're after this hacienda that father built for

mother.

But with your help, Uncle Fernando, I know I'll be safe.

Don't worry, Cisco and I will take care of everything.

I knew I could count on you.

And now if you'll excuse me, I've had about all the

excitement I can stand for one day.

Just a moment, Senorita.

Before you go, did your father ever tell you if he had a place

where he used to hide his confidential and important

papers?

Yes, in the bank, in a file marked "A-B" way in the back of

a drawer.

Thank you, Senorita.

Good night.

Good night.

Buenas noches.

Cisco, when are you gonna tell that girl?

I tried to tell her but, I couldn't.

Not yet, Pancho.

I'm begging you pardon, Senores.

But don't say anything that will take that smile off her face.

She's been very unhappy.

No, Juan.

We'll be very careful.

Good bye.

Buenas noches.

Well, Pancho.

Pancho?

No, Senor Fernando Ramirez.

Cisco, how long is this gonna keep up?

It's bad enough being one people sometime without being two

people at the same time.

Pancho, you'll have to make believe you're Fernando Ramirez

all the time we are in this town.

Otherwise, we'll never find out anything.

Yeah, in the town, in the town I can be arrested for being

Fernando Ramirez in the town, but no, Cisco, it's that girl.

Cisco, she hug me and she kiss me, and...

And you don't like that, Pancho, do you?

Well, to make a short story long, yes, I like, I li-- but,

Cisco, we have to tell her the truth sometime.

Tell her that her uncle is a card sharp and a horse thief?

What do you think that will do to her?

Hey, she gonna find out pretty soon.

Pancho, first we'll have to help her out of her troubles.

Now look, tomorrow we're going to town.

Yeah?

You are going to call on Mr. McCard while I go to the bank

and look behind A-B file.

So, that's what the town folk think of Delores's father, eh?

Hey, Cisco, that Mr. McCard's office over there.

Well, Pancho, while you visit him, I'm going to try to inspect

the bank.

I'll meet you in half an hour, eh?

Bueno.

(knocking) Come in.

Mr. McCard?

Yes.

Sit down.

Now, what can I do for you?

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Well I'm afraid, Mr. McCard, it ain't too much

of a pleasure, because I am Fernando Ramirez, and I come to

talk to you about my brother-in-law.

Marcus James.

Oh, yeah.

I heard you were in town.

I was expecting you.

That's a lovely niece you have.

Looks exactly like Maria.

Yes, Delores is a fine girl.

Yeah, she's the image of Maria, her mother, poor Maria.

Yeah, poor Maria.

So, that's exactly the way it happened, they found him slumped

over my desk with a gun near his hand, and the bullet went

through his head.

And where did the bullet land?

Right over there near the door.

But, you know that is impossible, unless you-- you are

trying to hide something.

No, no, no, you see, it's exactly the way I told you.

It, uh...

you trying to hide something?

What's your name?

Tell me the truth.

My name?

Yes.

You're no more Fernando Ramirez than I am.

And Delores mother wasn't Maria.

It was Consuela.

And she doesn't look anything like her mother.

She's a James through and through.

I don't know what your business is, but you're gonna stay here

long enough for me to find out.

Now, get your hands up, come on.

(gunfire) What's going on here?

That was a shootin', he's hurt bad.

You doin' all that shootin' around here?

Not quite all of it, Sheriff.

This man shot at me from the top of that roof.

I only threw a few back at him to discourage him.

Well, you kind of discouraged him, all right.

You hit him twice.

I'll take care of that.

And I'll have to hold you till I find out more about this.

There's no need for that, Sheriff, I saw the whole thing.

It was self-defense, and darned good shootin'.

You know Riddle, Sheriff.

He wouldn't lie to protect a stranger.

We're not quite strangers, Senor.

Mr. Riddle and I have met at the James ranch.

Oh.

All right.

I'll be gone for a few hours.

You help me Riddle, get this man to the doctor.

Excuse me, are you Roland McCard?

That's right.

I was supposed to meet a friend of mine in your office,

but I was delayed.

In my office?

That's right.

He's Senor Fernando Ramirez.

Miss James' uncle.

Oh, you're mistaken, I don't know anybody by that name.

But we rode into town this morning, together, and he was

coming to your office.

Well, there's nobody in there, you can look for

yourself.

I was mistaken.

Sorry to bother you.

That's all right.

Juan, Delores, I want to have a word with you.

Come on inside.

What's the matter?

What happened?

Just a minute, Senorita.

Do you have a buckboard on the place?

Yes.

Please tell Juan to hitch it up.

Juan.

Muy bien.

Where's my uncle?

Why did you come back without him?

Now please, Senorita.

Don't be nervous.

Your uncle has disappeared.

But, I think I can find him.

I must act quickly, and I need all your help.

Have you ever seen this before?

No, where did you find this?

In the bank, where you told me to look.

Paid in full.

This proves father redeemed those bonds!

Who held those bonds?

I don't know.

But I remember father was in wonderful spirits that day he

rode into town.

He told me that now he could save the bank.

That's exactly what I wanted to know.

Now look, Delores, you are going to ride into town with Juan.

Then I want you to call on McCard and tell him that your

uncle has disappeared, and you are asking him to help you to

find him.

I am going to be there before you.

Now, Delores, whatever you do, don't let him out of your sight,

eh?

I understand.

Miss Dee, you know I'm always ready to help you.

Let's check at the mayor's office first.

Whoa.

You two wait here, I'll just be a minute.

I want to report your uncle's disappearance.

Where do you think you're going, McCard?

Why, just thought I'd take a little walk down to the county

seat and see if they identified that man.

I wanted to be sure your men didn't miss Ramirez, now that we

got that uh, hostage where uh, he can't do any damage, why--

But what are you planning to do with the James bonds at the

county seat?

Put them in a vault for safe keeping.

Now tell me another.

You're gettin' scared and figuring to pull out.

Well, that's all right with me.

Only I'm takin' mine now before you go anyplace.

Riddle, nobody's tryin' to do anything to you, I...

(gunshot) Juan, that was a shot!

Oh, I knew we should have gone with Mr. McCard.

Cisco told me.

You stay here, Senorita, you don't want to get mixed up in

any shooting.

McCard?

McCard?

Juan, I don't know what to do.

Go in and find McCard, tell him I want to see him.

Tell him anything, just get him here.

All right.

Sheriff, what happened?

See for yourself.

This has just been fired.

It's not McCard's gun.

(creaking) The cabinet.

Is the killer still here?

All right, come out on the count of three, or we'll fire.

One, two...

This is your last chance.

Three!

(gunfire) Well, I guess we was wrong.

Nobody here.

Thanks, gracias.

Hey, Cisco, that's what you get for trying to be two people.

I almost didn't stay me.

Hey, what happened down there?

Never mind that, Pancho.

Here, you take these.

We'll have to show them to the sheriff later.

All right, you, what are you doing here?

One sound out of you, and I'll blow your head off.

Look out, Cisco!

(gunshot) Well, I thought I'd never

hear the end of this case.

Tell me, Cisco, how could Riddle have killed Marcus James?

It was very simple, Sheriff.

Now, Juan is standing right on the bullet hole, right over

there.

Mr. James was sitting where you're sitting.

Riddle could have shot him either from the doorway or right

from over here like this, and it would have made that bullet

hole, there.

Then he escaped from the passage way.

You know, that's what I figure out this morning, and

then I wind up myself in the secrets passage.

You were wonderful, Uncle Fernando, but you really had us

worried for a while.

Senorita Delores, there's something I want to told you.

You know, it, i-- Cisco, you told her.

What he really means, he's not your uncle.

He's my good friend, Pancho.

And I am The Cisco Kid.

The Cisco Kid?

And Pancho?

That's right.

But is my uncle really dead?

Juan?

No, Senorita.

Allow me to present to you, Fernando Ramirez.

Juan?

Uncle Fernando?

Why didn't you tell me?

I-- I was afraid.

After I lost the money you sent me, I couldn't tell you who I

was.

I just didn't have the nerve, I guess.

You had plenty of nerve today, Juan.

I'm proud to have you for an uncle.

Thank you.

But it was nice having you in the family too, Pancho.

Thanks for everything.

Oh, Pancho!

Oh, Cisco!

(laughing) Good bye, Amigos!

See you soon!

(laughing)
