Here's adventure!

Here's romance!

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

"The Cisco Kid."

Here he comes, Muscles.

You bulldog him, and I'll pick up his horse.

I'll get him.

(singing in Spanish) Hey, Muscles, come here.

(singing continuing) Yeah-- what's up?

A couple of riders heading our way.

You know 'em?

One of 'em looks like the Cisco Kid.

You got the letter?

Yeah-- come on, let's go.

What about him?

Forget about him.

Come on, let's go.

(singing continuing) Whoa.

Hey, Pancho.

Hmm?

It's the mail carrier.

He's been slugged.

Yeah-- whoever do it can't be very far away.

There's all fresh tracks around here, Cisco.

That's right-- and they lead to the north of town.

Hey, Pancho, I'm gonna follow the tracks.

You take care of him and see if you can get him into town, eh?

Bueno, I see you later, huh?

Bueno.

Well, the boss is sure taking his time in there.

Porter, I'm gonna have the law on you if you don't give me

back that money.

You're lucky I didn't charge you twice as much for that

survey.

Ooh, you just wait till that letter from the land office gets

here.

(whistling) You wait, my dear.

I haven't the time.

The sheriff will know how to handle a swindler like you.

All right, go and talk to him.

(sighing) Why the whistle, Crane?

Oh, a couple of fellas were heading our way.

What about that letter?

Did you have any trouble with the girl?

Eh, she's going to the sheriff, just like I said she

would.

(laughter) Good work.

That was perfect.

I couldn't have done it better myself.

Hey, Porter.

There's one of the men I was telling you about.

He looks like the Cisco Kid with that outfit he's wearing.

Cisco Kid, huh?

I've never met the gentleman.

And frankly, I'd rather not.

Let's ride.

How do you do, senorita.

May I present myself?

My name is Cisco.

Oh!

Oh, I've heard so much about you.

I'm Jill Stewart.

I own this ranch.

Can I help you?

Well, senorita, somebody was ambushed not far from here.

Whoever did it left a clear trail right to your ranch.

I wouldn't be surprised if Porter had something to do with

this.

Porter?

A man who just swindled me out of a lot of money.

Is he a man that is about this tall, well-built-- and he

has a raspy voice, doesn't he?

That's him.

Is he a friend of yours?

Oh, hardly, senorita.

If he is the man that I'm looking for, then he is the man

that has swindled a lot of people-- and mostly women.

(crow squawking) Oh!

Hello, little fella.

(squawking continuing) You are attached there-- all

tangled up.

You can't fly.

Wait a minute.

Come on.

Como esta?

Now fly away, little fella.

You are free, huh, Paco?

Huh?

Oh!

You don't want to fly away?

You want to stay with me, huh?

All right, you will be my-- huh?

No, you will be my compadre.

I'm gonna call you Cortez.

(laughing) Come on, now, let's go.

(crow squawking) Well, senorita, there you

are.

Thank you very much.

It's nothing, senorita.

It was a pleasure.

You know, senorita, I think this man Porter is the same man that

swindled Carmelita.

Carmelita?

Yes, Pancho's cousin.

Pancho?

Pancho, my very good friend.

Oh, there he is now.

Oh, Pancho!

Over here!

Now you stay here, my little amigo, and you make good friends

with Loco, eh?

(laughter) Pancho, this is Senorita Jill

Stewart.

How do you do, senorita?

Good morning.

I see you brought your pet with you.

Oh, him?

Senor Cortez, eh?

Yeah, I find him down the road.

He was all tangled up.

Oh, really?

Won't you come in?

Thank you, senorita.

Let's go, Pancho.

Say, Pancho.

Yeah?

How is the mail rider?

Oh, he was all right.

He was able to ride away alone.

You know, the senorita thinks that it was a swindler who

ambushed him.

He's stopping at a hotel in town.

Goes by the name of Porter.

Cisco, why don't we go get this fellow, huh?

Hmm, not so easy, Pancho.

If he knows we're looking for him, he'll be hard to trap.

He's a clever man-- and what a mean sense of humor!

Senorita, isn't this Porter quite a practical joker?

Yes, he's always playing jokes on Carmelita too.

You know something?

I think I know how to stop his tricks.

Senorita, will you work with us?

I'll be glad to-- of course.

(laughing) Why don't we go and play some

jokes on this joker, Cisco?

Maybe.

You know that old saying?

The old adage about what sauces for the geese is runs off

the ducky's gander?

(laughter) This sure is a good cigar,

boss.

Glad you like it, Muscles.

My special brand.

(cigar explodes) Aah!

(laughter) Boss, what'd you want to go

and do that for?

You're a good sport, Muscles.

You're all right.

Well, just the same, you hadn't ought to have done it to

a feller.

Say, Porter, when are we gonna head south?

What are you worrying about?

That girl's got nothing on me.

She can't prove a thing.

Even if she does go to the sheriff, all I do is say I never

saw her before in my life.

Muscles, where are you going?

I'm going down and buy me a good cigar-- one that won't

explode in my kisser when I light it.

Hey, Muscles, wait a minute.

Here's two cigars.

Take your choice-- no tricks.

You smoke one, I'll smoke the other.

(sniffing) You light yours first?

Anything you say.

How about a match, Crane?

I don't have one, boss.

You got one, Muscles?

Sure.

Aah!

(laughter) (crow squawking)

Uh-oh, here comes something that looks like an easy mark.

Hello, Cortez!

Hello!

Hello, Cortez!

(crow squawking) (laughing)

Hello.

(squawking) (laughing)

(laughter) Maybe you got change.

Hey, this is better than I expected.

Well, I'm afraid not quite that much.

You know, my friend, I want you to know it's a pleasure to meet

a man with such a fine sense of humor.

My name is Porter-- dealer in mines, ranches, cattle, or what

have you.

Gracias, senor.

My name is Gonzales Fernando Jose Benaldo.

Glad to know you.

Yes, I'm glad to know you too.

You see, I come here to-- to buy a ranch.

Well, your lucky star must have steered you right into my

hands.

Uh, what kind of a ranch did you have in mind?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Nothing big, you know?

Just a little ranch.

A little ranch?

Yeah, maybe, um, 2,000 or 3,000 acres.

Oh, 2,000 or 3,000 acres.

Yes, I want it so my little black friend over here, Cortez

can-- you see Cortez?

Cortez?

He can fly around, you know?

Oh, yeah.

I think I have just the ranch for you.

This is a real bargain and not far out of town.

Ooh.

Are you sure you don't play some funny little trick on me like

you was playing before over there?

(laughter) I wish you'd let me show you

just how sincere I am.

Sincere?

Oh, yes, ye-- I can see just how sincere you are...

(laughing) Picaro.

Oh, the Spanish pronunciation for Porter, huh?

Well, thank you very much.

Yes, senor.

Jose!

Jose, my very dear amigo!

Am I glad to see you!

I-- I beg your partner.

I don't think I did ever see you before-- eh, did we, Cortez?

(crow remains silent) What?

You say you never saw me before?

Look, stranger, my friend here says he doesn't know you.

Why don't you mosey along and stop bothering him?

Look, senor, you are the one who is bothering me.

Now, Jose here, he has become very rich lately.

Maybe that is why he doesn't want to remember me.

But you know me, Jose, don't you?

Look at me.

Well, I got your face but I can't put you.

Jose, how can you say a thing like that to me-- I, your

benefactor, who took care of all your children!

All of them!

My child?

I don't got no children.

Only Cortez.

You are bad!

You are lying!

You can't say a thing like that to me!

Do you know what we do to hombres who forget their

friends?

Hey, hey, hey-- leave my friend alone.

What do you mean, your friend?

Well, any friend of Mr. Porter's is a friend of mine.

Ain't he, Mr. Porter?

Go to it, Muscles.

You've made enough trouble around here, stranger.

Now get out!

You hear them.

Now take yourself out.

So, my friend, just because you think that now you've become

rich, you don't know me anymore, eh?

Well, when all your money is gone and all these fine friends

with it, then you will remember me!

Don't pay no retention to him.

He's just after my money.

Sure.

And you are my friends, after all.

Whoever he was, he sure knew how to handle himself.

You know, I am just commencing to remember.

You know, you don't think it's because I got all this money

that I don't forget to remember him, do you?

Of course not, my friend.

You're not that sort of a person.

And believe me, I'm a good judge of human nature.

Now, about that ranch-- when would you like to take a look at

it?

Well, what's the matter with right now, eh?

Well...

You remember the old attridge that never count your chickens

before they cross the bridge.

Yes, but I have a few things to take care of first.

I'll tell you what.

You meet me here in a couple of hours, and I'll take you to the

ranch myself.

In a couple of hours, huh?

(laughing) Adios.

Good-bye, my friend.

(crow squawking) I've got to work fast if

we're going to sell him that girl's ranch.

Sure looks like it.

The girl's ranch?

How can you?

You don't own it, remember?

Well, thanks, Muscles.

I almost forgot.

Now, listen carefully, Crane.

Take Muscles and go out to the ranch and get her out of the

way.

No rough stuff.

But I don't want her around when I arrive there with our

boyfriend.

You know what to tell her.

Sure do, Porter.

You ready, Muscles?

I don't get it.

I'll explain it to you on the way to the ranch.

Come on, let's go.

(knocking on door) Hey, Pancho, what happened

after I left?

I know this fellow Porter, he thinks I don't got no brains.

He tried to sell me a rancho.

Ah, that's exactly what I figured.

Why didn't you go to see it?

Well, I will in a couple of hours.

A couple hours?

That's what he say, but you know, I wonder what he's doing

in these couple of hours.

The boss ain't stupid, you know.

One hammerhead in this outfit is enough.

Yeah, but why did he pick her ranch?

There's lots of ranches Porter could have picked.

That gal's gonna be gunning for him.

Yeah, but her ranch is the only one with copper on it.

You believe that?

That was a fake.

That wasn't any fake.

The boss really found copper there.

He told her different so he could buy the ranch cheap-- only

first, he's gonna sell it to that hombre, get it?

(crow squawking) Hey, what was that?

(crow squawking) Shh, shh!

You and your Senor Cortez!

It sounded like that fella's pet crow.

Yeah, what was that crow's name?

He told me, but I sort of forgot.

Shh, shh.

You sorta forgot to show up when they handed the brains out.

Come on, let's go pick up that gal.

Cisco, they pretty near catch us, huh?

Yes, and I think I'd better get back to the ranch before

they catch the senorita.

You think we'll catch them all today, Cisco?

I hope so-- Why?

Are you worried about carrying the senorita's money with you

all the time?

No, I no worry about the money, Cisco.

I take care of that, but I'm worried about these terrible

clothes-- these monkey clothes.

What's the matter with you, Pancho?

You look wonderful in them.

Yeah, but I don't feel like Pancho, Cisco.

Well, Pancho, look.

In a little while, we'll give the senorita back her money.

Then we'll put you back in your clothes and you'll feel like

Pancho again, amigo.

Adios.

(crow squawking) Shh! Who ask you?

Now, remember, let me do all the talking.

You just do as I tell you.

Do you understand?

Sure I do.

What do you think I am-- stupid?

Ask me that again some other time.

(knocking on door) Come in.

Miss Stewart?

I'm Miss Stewart.

Can I help you, gentlemen?

We're from the government land office.

There's a prospector filing on a claim-- we think it's on your

land.

He says he struck copper.

Copper?

And you think it's on my land?

Don't you have a map?

Well, it's awful close, Miss.

Our map could be wrong.

Oh, well, I'll show you where my fence is, but-- but I don't

think there's any copper here.

Where-- where are you taking me?

Well, it's a shortcut.

That's right, ma'am.

Save us a lot of time.

Let's go, Muscles.

(grunting) (screaming)

Out of the way!

Oh, Cisco!

Thank goodness you got here!

Whoa!

Here-- you get off of there.

Give me a hand.

Senorita, here's the gun.

Maybe we don't have to carry him after all.

Jill, keep them covered while I get my horse.

Your friend is gonna be here in a little while.

There isn't much time left.

What are you up to?

Well, we thought since your friend is such a good hand

at playing jokes on others, we thought we'd rig a little

surprise for him.

Do you think it's a good idea?

Ah, serves him right, whatever happens to him.

I told him we ought to clear out, but he wouldn't listen to

me.

Senorita, I think we'd better make our young friends here

comfortable someplace just so they wouldn't be in the way.

We can tie 'em up in the woods here.

They'll be safe there.

All right, hombres, you heard what the senorita said.

Come on, move!

Come on!

Well, what do you think of the ranch, my friend?

Well, it's nice.

Looks pretty good to me.

There's the ranch house over there.

Si.

Oh, yeah.

But I'm on the outside, looking in.

I wonder how it look from the inside, looking out.

It's completely furnished.

Come on, we'll have a look.

All right, let's went.

Well, let's get down to business.

How much are you prepared to pay for the ranch?

How big you say this ranch is?

Oh, in the vicinity of 1,000 acres, give or take a little

here and there.

Give or take?

Oh, I see-- I give and you take.

(laughter) That's a good joke, huh?

I always said that I admire a man with a fine sense of humor.

Now, how much did you say you could pay?

I didn't say.

You do have the money with you, don't you?

Yes, right here.

Eh, how is it nobody ever live on this ranch?

Oh, the owner's away on vacation, but of course, I have

power of attorney to close any deal if I think it's fair.

All you have to do is to pay down a sufficient cash deposit.

Drown a fish and catch a possum?

What do you mean?

(laughing) Never mind that now.

Just how much money have you got there?

Oh, it is about $1,500.

Let me congratulate you, my friend.

You have just purchased yourself a ranch and for only $1,500

down.

Yeah, but I'm sorry, I only got about $1,250 here.

That's all right, that's all right.

$1,250 it is-- and a bargain if I ever seen one.

Now, my friend, I've got to run along.

I'm pretty busy, but let me wish you lots of luck.

But Mr. Picaro-- uh, Mr. Picaro...

(speaking Spanish) Gotta run along now.

I'll drop by and see you once in a while.

Just a minute there, you.

(laughing) You forgot the bill of sale.

Don't move, my friend, or he gets it.

(horse whinnying) Get over to that buckboard and

fast, if you know what's good for you.

Get up on that wagon and grab a hold of those reins.

Hurry up-- let's get out of here!

(laughter) Can't you take a joke, amigo?

Cisco, why you talking about jokes at a time like this?

Cisco Kid, huh?

Well, this gun is no joke, and either I get out of here right

now or he gets shot!

(laughter) Thank God-- you got here just

in time.

I was afraid he was gonna get away with all my money.

I mean-- I mean your money.

Your money?

That's right, Mr. Porter.

This time, the joke's on you.

Hey, wait a minute.

What's this?

Well, senorita, here is the reason why the rider was

ambushed.

It's from the land office.

They say the ore sample is of the highest grade!

Well, then, senorita, you'll be a very rich girl!

And I want to thank you both for-- for all you've done for

me.

It was a pleasure, senorita.

And this Senor Porter-- he's never going to swindle anybody

anymore.

(laughing) And it's a good thing I could

use your money to do all those things with.

(laughter) But now, like always, my

pockets is all empty again.

Holy smokers!

(crow squawking) Senor Cortez-- he is a mother!

(crow squawking) Oh, Pancho!

(laughter) Oh, Cisco!

(crow squawking) Cisco, do we have to leave all

our good friends now?

Only until next time, Pancho.

Adios, amigos!
