Here's adventure!

Here's romance!

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

The Cisco Kid!

(gunshot) Throw down your gun.

All right, Miss, come out.

Who are you, and what are you doing here?

For a man who has his face covered, you ask a lot of

questions.

I said, who are you, and what are you doing here?

I'm Irene Moore, and I'm going to teach school in Madera.

Can you ride a horse?

Yes.

Well, I have one for you.

All right, Mister, get going, and don't look back.

Hyah, hyah!

Where's the schoolmarm?

Wasn't she supposed to be on the stage?

Never mind about her.

Gosh, I sure hope nothing happened to her.

I was kinda figuring on getting some of that school learning

myself.

School learning, what do you want that for?

Ah heck, I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of things,

like reading and writing.

Don't you wish you could read, Mr. Gregg?

Oh, hogwash.

Now, we'll just leave you in here for awhile.

Any trouble?

No, everything worked out just like we planned.

Jay, get out to the woodshed, and clean it up.

But, I cleaned it up.

Don't argue with me, get!

How much you figure we can get for her?

Old Man Barnes got $7,500 he's collected to put up a

schoolhouse in town.

He'll fork it over in five minutes after they hear about

the school teacher.

So, all we gotta do is wait for the town to hear about the

big stage holdup.

That's right.

Hey kid, where do you think you're going?

Uh, I think I left my broom back there.

You stay out of the back.

Have you been listening?

I think he knows.

Are you wise to this?

Yeah, and you're gonna get in trouble, Mr. Gregg.

Nobody's gonna get in trouble.

Now, you stay here, and act like you know nothing.

Hey, I nearly forgot.

Driver left a letter for me.

What do you suppose is in it?

Can't rightly say.

Thought maybe you could tell me.

You got the wrong man for that, Abner, I can't read

either.

See what I mean about school learning, Mr. Gregg?

Hey, school learning.

That school teacher.

I'll tell you what, you take this letter in there, and get

the school teacher to read it to you.

We'll be listening.

Howdy, Miss.

Hello.

Miss, uh, are you the new schoolmarm, ain't ya?

Well, I will be, if I live to get to Madera.

You sure you're the new schoolmarm?

Yes, why?

Well, you're awfully pretty to be a schoolmarm.

He's right.

She don't look like no schoolmarm to me.

You sure she ain't one of them new dancers going to work at

The Glass Slipper?

I'm sure.

How do you know?

Ever seen a schoolmarm before?

No, but I've been seen dancehall girls.

It's about this letter.

Would you read it to me?

Yes, of course.

It's addressed to Mr. Abner Gregg, is that you?

Oh, no ma'am, that's my boss.

My name is Jay Jones.

Oh.

Well, you can tell your boss this letter's from The Cisco

Kid.

The Cisco Kid, and he knows my name.

Shut up and listen.

It seems Cisco has sent it to the wrong man.

There's a Cisco and Pancho on their way here to see that I get

to town safely.

That's a lie.

What does that letter really say?

Would you like me to read it to you word for word?

"Dear Mr. Gregg, Miss Irene Moore will arrive--"

That's enough.

Think she's telling the truth?

I don't know, but we can't take chances.

In case Cisco and Pancho are headed this way, we've got to

work fast.

Let's get the girl outta here.

Better yet, let's get the money, and then let her go.

Now you're talking.

We'll go to town and start collecting.

You go to town.

I'd better stay here, in case Cisco shows up.

Miss Irene, would you do me a favor?

What is it this time?

Oh, no tricks, honest.

I just thought maybe you'd learn me write my name.

Write your name?

I'd like awful to know how to.

Will ya learn me, please?

Well, of course, Jay.

But, the word is teach, not learn.

Sit down.

Mr. Bond.

Come in, Gregg.

What are you doing here?

Where's our school teacher?

What's all this nonsense I hear about a holdup?

It's true, Mr. Bond, that's why I'm here.

A gang of masked men took her off the stagecoach before she

ever got to my place.

They're holding her for $7,500.

$7,500-- how do you know?

One of the gang rode up to the station and told me to have

the money there at sundown, just me alone.

I don't have it, you don't have no schoolmarm.

Oh, this is terrible.

What will the mayor say?

I don't know what the mayor will say, but I know what the

gang will say.

No schoolmarm.

Yes, yes, you're quite right.

I'll get the money somehow.

What I don't understand is what happened to Cisco.

I wrote to him.

Now Gregg, you be sure to tell the sheriff everything you know,

even a description of the men.

Right away, before you leave.

Yeah, I was figuring on doing that, Mr. Bond.

Gosh, Miss Irene, I don't know how to thank you.

Imagine, me writing my own name.

Well, you know, if you'd help me, I'll really teach you how to

read and write.

How do you mean, help you?

Is that man still in the next room?

You mean Dick?

Yes ma'am, he's still in there.

Well, do you think you could get me out of here without his

knowing it?

Sure, but you might get lost.

I'll take my chances.

If I stay here, I might get shot.

Well...

All right.

There's some clothes back there, and the trail to town is this

way.

But, look out for Gregg.

I'll go out and help you out the back door, and get you started.

But, you gotta be awful quiet.

Oh, I promise I will, Jay.

Bolt that.

Say Pancho, I think our horses are thirsty.

Cisco, I will give them some water while you talk to Senor

Gregg, huh?

Give me this one.

Andale, come on.

Hello.

Hello.

Senor Gregg?

He's in town.

What can I do for you?

My name is Cisco.

I came here to meet the new school teacher.

I'm supposed to escort her to town.

Ain't no school teacher here.

I don't know nothing about it.

But, the stage has arrived.

I suppose so.

There's no school teacher here.

Hm.

Say, that little valise, looks like ladies baggage.

You got me.

What's in there?

Nothing that'll concern you.

Come on!

Where is she?

Where's who?

You know who I'm talking about, the school teacher,

where is she?

How would I know?

Ain't she in the back room?

No, she ain't, and she didn't get out by herself.

Well, maybe I better go look for her.

You ain't going nowhere.

And you wait 'til Gregg gets back, he'll tan your hide.

Hey, Pancho.

Yeah?

Do you know the sheriff in this town?

Oh, the sheriff, sure.

I remember, Cisco, one time he arrested my left-handed cousin

Pablo, on my Aunt Rosita's side, but he couldn't lock him up.

Why not?

Because there was only one cell, and Aunt Rosita was in

that cell.

Cisco, I think I'll go see the sheriff while you talk to Mr.

Bond, eh?

That's a very good idea, Pancho, we may need his help.

Go in.

Bueno.

Cisco, you've cost this town $7,500 by not answering my

letter.

Where have you been?

I cost this town $7,500?

But, how can I?

A gang has kidnapped our school teacher.

They're holding her for that much ransom.

Hm.

But, I answered you.

I wrote Senor Gregg a letter.

I warned him in it.

You wrote Gregg?

Oh, no wonder this happened.

Did I make a mistake?

Oh, Cisco, you might have saved yourself the trouble.

Gregg can't read a word.

He can't read a word?

How can he be a station master?

Cisco, come outside.

I want to explain something to you.

Cisco, of all the people in this town, I don't think a third of

them can write their own names.

That's why this town is so desperate for a school.

And that's why it was easy to raise the $7,500, and the gang

that got the teacher must have known that.

I see.

Oh, Pancho.

Did the sheriff have any word?

He should have, Gregg gave him the bad news over an hour

ago.

That's where you're wrong, Senor, because Gregg didn't was

near the sheriff.

Well, how do you know?

Because the sheriff leave town this morning, and he won't

be back for a couple or three days.

Oh, well, that does it.

There goes our money, and who knows what's happened to the

schoolmarm.

Well, there's nothing we can do but hope.

Hm, it's very well to hope.

But, there's something Pancho and I can do.

Yeah, there is something we can do, we could--

Well, what is it, Cisco?

Investigate, Pancho.

I don't got no money to invest in a gate.

What good would that do anyhow?

Pancho, let's go.

Huh, let's went.

We better get rid of the girl, Bond's coming by with

the money.

I got news for you, the girl's gone.

Gone, what are you saying?

Kid let her out.

That little-- Did he go with her?

No, I got him locked in the woodshed.

Good, I'll take care of him personal later, after we get the

money.

You see if you can pick up the girl's trail.

All right.

Come on, boy.

Come on.

Mr. Gregg?

That's me.

We came to find out about Miss Moore, the school teacher.

You're The Cisco Kid?

That's right.

That's him, and me, I am Pancho Miguel Fernando Gonzalez

de Conejo, Junior.

Where's the senorita?

I explained everything to Bond and the sheriff.

Nothing will happen to her if the gang gets the money.

They warned me to meet 'em alone, though.

But, where you gonna meet these banditos?

I'm sorry, but I can't tell you.

You might try some of your shenanigans, and get the gang

all riled up against the girl.

Pancho, the senor is right.

We don't want any harm to come to the girl.

We better go back to town.

Adios, Senor.

Come on.

Cisco, what you think?

Well Pancho, I think that they're hiding the girl up in

these hills somewhere.

That mean we didn't was going back to town?

What do you think?

Well, I think if the girl is in the hills, you want to look

for the girl, and then I will stay here and invest in the

gate, what you say.

Not invest in the gate, Pancho.

Investigate, that means to look around, to inspect things,

you know.

But first, amigo, we're gonna make believe that both of us are

going to ride to town.

Then I will sneak back?

That's right.

(thud) Oh, holy catfish.

I thought you was one of them.

One of them, one of who?

One of the men that locked me up here.

They're sore at me, 'cause I helped a schoolmarm escape.

The schoolmarm?

Where she is, she's here?

She said she's gonna try to get to town before they paid the

ransom money for her.

Say, who-- who you are, and what you are doing here?

I help Gregg run the station.

My name's Jay Jones.

And I can write it, too.

Come on, I'll show.

J-A-Y.

J-O-N-E-S.

'Hay Hones'.

Hey, what?

That's funny, the schoolmarm told me it was Jay Jones.

Say, you write beautiful.

Maybe, but it don't come out the same way when you read it.

The schoolmarm told me it was my name, Jay Jones.

That's a easy name, huh?

Let me see.

Let-- no, if I was to write my name, I would have to write on a

great big windmill, like that, eh?

Oh, here, look, come over here, follow me.

Now, you watch.

Pancho...

Miguel...

Fernando...

Gonzalez...

de Conejo.

(laughing) "Little rabbit," that means.

You come out of here, or I'll do the same thing to you.

Can you ride your own to the cabin?

Certainly.

Good, wait for me there.

All right.

Tell me, do you always arrive in time to rescue the school

teacher in distress?

Well, at times, if I'm lucky to.

We'll have to pick up this man's horse.

We've got get him back to the station for some unfinished

business.

No more of your high foolsome tricks.

You get in that back room, and I don't want to hear no peep out

of you.

Did you bring the money?

Here it is.

Are you sure we'll get the girl back?

Of course, I'm sure.

Just as soon as I turn this over to 'em.

Now, you get back to town.

The schoolmarm will be there before you know it.

All right, Jay, you can come out now, the station's all yours.

(laughing) You're The Cisco Kid,

ain't ya?

That's right.

Well, you better do something quick, your pal's locked up in

the woodshed, and Gregg rode off with the money.

Here, watch this man.

Irene, you turn Pancho loose.

I told you Cisco will bring him back, eh?

All right, sit down there by your partner.

Here's your money, Mr. Bond.

Cisco, I don't know how the community will ever thank you

and Pancho.

You've saved our whole school system.

It was a pleasure, sir.

And now, Jay can go to school all the time, like he always

want to, huh?

That's right.

By the way, where is Jay?

Miss Irene, would you please tell Pancho what's on this card?

Well, of course.

It's your name, Jay Jones, and written very well, too.

Now, you read it.

'Hay Hones'.

See what I mean?

One of us ain't reading it right.

Not quite, Jay.

You see, Pancho's pronouncing it in Spanish, and makes the 'J'

sound like an 'H'.

But, my name's in English.

Cisco, you know, I can read in two languages at the same

time with my eyes closed and standing on one foot.

Oh, Pancho.

Oh, Cisco!

(laughing) Cisco, do we have to leave

all our good friends now?

Only until next time, Pancho.

Adios, amigos!
