"FRONTEIRAS HERÓICAS"

Father, the Americanos have attacked one of our friends again.

This time they have driven Don Alfredo from his home.

We shall hear of it later, my son.

First, we have thanks to give.

We should get up in arms against these Americanos.

Drive them out.

But the new government has promised to protect us.

Miguel, my son, now that your chattering brother and sister

have still, you may give thanks.

But father...

What?

Our holy father, we thank thee for thy blessings.

We thank thee for the food we are about to

partake.

And we beseech thee, oh father, in thy omnipotence, watch

over this household.

Give strength and courage to the mother who tends it

in thy name.

And to the father who has built and fostered it.

And to the children who will carry it on.

For all these blessings, we thank thee.

In the name of the father, and of the son,

and of the holy ghost, amen.

You squatters are getting out of here.

By what right you coming to my house?

By whose authority do you reject us?

We come on our own authority.

This land belongs to the Americans.

You Mexicans got no right here.

This is our home.

It belong to us.

By every right, we have a ground in all this

land.

Stop!

You don't understand, gentlemen.

This is my family.

They too are citizens of the United States, just like

you.

Ah, the squatters.

All you Mexicans are.

Get out of here.

Go back where you belong.

Get out of here.

But, this is our home.

We were promised protection by the government.

The right to continue as we were.

Ah, you foreigners.

We don't want any foreigners here.

Go back where you belong.

You murderers.

I'll kill you for this.

I'll kill every one of you.

Hey, we're wasting our time.

Throw them out.

You murderers.

Take it easy there, Mexican.

Drink up.

Some of these Kenzovas certainly lived in Clover.

Yeah.

Sorry we had to mess things up around here, though.

We're going to drive these foreigners out of here.

Oh, Captain Pearson.

Yes, sir.

At ease.

Thank you.

Captain, you've heard, of course, that California may be admitted

into the Union as a state.

I've heard some Congressional rumbling, sir.

Well, we're getting a lot of troublesome reports from out

there.

The Constitution of the United States guarantees protection for all

people within its borders.

But there are unscrupulous men at work creating a reign

of terror against the Mexican landowners.

There's always disorder where there's gold and fertile land involved,

sir.

And that country has both.

Captain Pearson, you're going out there to make a complete

investigation.

Yes, sir.

Could move in with the troops, sir.

And whom would we shoot?

No.

First, we must learn who's behind it.

You'll be on your own the moment you set foot

in California.

May I work in any way I see fit, sir?

Yes.

And only in case of extreme emergency will you disclose

your real identity or mission.

Remember, they'll stop at nothing.

I understand, sir.

We want the true, unbiased facts.

When do I start?

Immediately.

The way you'll handle the situation, your final report will

temper whatever action the government must take.

Here.

We've had numerous reports from Everett McDaniel, the government land

agent at San Dimas.

He seems unable to cope with the havoc being wrought

by the land grabbing.

You will proceed to that section.

I would advise studying your map tonight to familiarize yourself

with this vicinity.

Yes,

sir.

Come in.

I'd like to get a room.

All right.

Sign there.

How much are they?

Thirty dollars.

Thirty dollars is pretty steep for a week, isn't it?

Thirty dollars a day.

The room's ought to be big enough to hold my

horse.

Oh, two in a room.

That'll be ten dollars extra.

Boy.

Boy!

Come in.

Room 502.

Oh, that's on the second floor.

Where you from?

What you gonna do?

What you come out here for?

Are you in a hurry to get up to your

room?

Take it easy, boy.

Will you take it easy?

Oh, fine.

Hank!

Move over here a minute.

What you gonna have?

I don't want anything.

Well, why don't you have a drink?

I don't want a drink.

Well, it's all good stuff.

It's important.

Why don't you have one?

I don't mind if I do.

Hank!

Triple rye with a couple of tequila chasers.

I know.

I know.

I, uh...

Suppose you come out here from the east expecting to

find, uh...

gold nuggets, sir?

Laying in the streets.

Okay.

Nope, just want to stake a claim and work it

is all.

Well, why don't you see Ted Graham?

He can help you out better than the claim office

can.

Where do you find a said Ted Graham?

Well, he's usually around here someplace.

Ah, but I don't see him now.

Hey, what are you doing?

I'm just trying to find out what's holding you up.

I'll take you to your room.

Does you know anyone that want to buy a drum?

I'll give you a drink first.

No, who's got money?

Let me see it.

Hey, Graham!

This Mexican wants to sell a gun.

Do you want to buy it?

Let me see it.

Hmm.

Where'd you get this gun?

It was given to me.

Given to you?

You stole it.

This is my gun.

Ain't it, boys?

Sure it is.

Your gun, all right.

It was my gun.

Juan Cantova, he gave it to me.

You stole it.

I do not steal, senor.

I am an honest man.

You're a lying thief.

We're getting fed up on you Mexicans.

We'll show you what we do with thieves.

Hey, where am I going?

Oh, you want it, eh?

Well, I'll give it to you.

Get out of here.

Why, you mangy tender foot all.

I can handle this.

Come on.

Suck him, Graham.

Juan, give him another one.

Give him one for me.

Hey, did you hear me?

I got old horse yelling for you.

Yeah, I heard you.

What you need is a little stimuli there.

Hank, a triple rye.

And don't forget the tequila.

Oh, yeah, tequila.

And.

You still want to see Mr Graham Oh yes well

you can't he's out you helped him out.

Do you mean that's the Mr Grimm Yeah.

And I don't think I've talked to him now if

I were you as he's mad.

I believe you're right.

I beg your pardon sir you forgot to pay for

the ride and tequila Oh yes and the tequila get

the boy another drink and charge it to me yes.

I.

Was here a while ago but the office was closed

I know I was at a funeral I guess you

don't feel any too much like working today that I

don't know.

So I can see Mr McDaniels I'm not McDaniels I'm

your sister and the idea of where I can find

him yeah I'd sure like to talk to him.

Why is he the land agent here he was I

just told you I came back from the funeral Oh

what happened.

To me.

Too bad.

Well any idea who did it.

Well how am I going about staking a claim here

that controls most of the property around here find him

out of this place just a few miles out of

the back.

Thanks.

What do you want.

We've got a claim to this land this is my

land before me it was the land of my father.

Squatters here have you not done enough to us you

have killed my father what is what is the matter.

I don't know my poor right one is there.

You keep up this land that I killed your boat

I want you to stay away from here.

Let him have it.

And don't you come back.

Get off next time I shoot first and talk afterwards

I kill anybody who comes on my land.

But these are dollars.

Come.

I'm doing what you have to say yes my dream

here I drove them away I want you to go

for me then I will get him I'm not once.

No one you cannot go Mama would be left unprotected

the Americans may come back.

Maybe things watch over us.

Come on, get out of that cart!

Having a lot of fun, Graham?

What do you mean?

I think you could have more fun somewhere else.

You know what I mean.

Get out!

That's two I owe you for.

I have to thank you again, senor.

He's the one who helped me in the cantina.

Then I must thank you too, senor.

The first Americano I have thanked for anything.

And I hope not the last, senorita.

So the Mexican said he'd kill the next Americans that

came to the place, huh?

Yeah, and he sounded like he meant it too.

You're a couple of tough hombres.

Letting a lone Mex run you all.

Hey, listen to this.

Blackie and Luke were just gunned off by that Mexican.

It was an accident.

It won't happen again.

Hey, Graham.

Get that hombre you tangled with at the El Dorado.

Wait a minute.

What happened?

He socked me on the chin.

Yeah, and I heard he was coming out here to

see you about staking a claim.

Oh.

Well, get in there.

I'll talk to him.

Mr. Halston?

Yes, come in.

Thanks.

I understand you can give me some information about staking

a claim.

You want to settle here in San Dimas?

I like the country.

It's all according to whether I can get along or

not.

I think your chances ought to be pretty good, Mr.

Pearson, Buck Pearson.

Well, there's a place down the road about a mile

you can claim if you want it.

It's the best spot left.

Near enough the foothills to make panning profitable and there's

a stream running right through it.

Do you mind?

No.

Why do you go to all this trouble for a

stranger?

Because we want this country settled by Americans.

Men who'll make it a great state.

One the United States will be proud to have as

part of its great union.

Gee, that's swell.

But are you sure this land is open for claim?

If you want it, I'll see that your claim is

filed.

Legal and proper.

Thanks.

I'll ride out and have a look at it.

Well, that'd be the best idea.

And in case you should happen to find any Mexicans

camping out on the place, you'll know what to do.

Why, no.

Just exactly what do I do?

Throw them off.

They don't belong there and if they holler, gun them

off.

This land is meant for Americans.

Oh.

I throw them off.

That's right.

And you might let me know how you make out.

Thanks, I will.

I'll be back.

Good luck.

Thanks.

That sure was quick thinking.

If that Mexican is as good as they stretch, we'll

get rid of both of them at once.

There won't be much trouble stringing him up for killing

an American.

Here, Mama.

No, no, Dolores.

No, no, no.

It's bitter.

Just a little bit, Mama.

No, no, Dolores.

Not for me.

It's good for you, Mama.

Not for me, Dolores.

Hey, wait a minute.

Juan, what is that?

Americano.

It's happened to us again.

Hey, hold on.

I want to talk to you.

Wait, Juan.

Wait.

Get over, pal.

Will you get over?

What?

It is the Americano who saved me.

Now, go on.

Killed him.

By all the fireworks.

Oh, señor.

I am so sorry.

This is a terrible mistake.

Please forgive me.

I did not know.

I thought you come to take my land like all

the other Americanos.

Take your land?

Juan, you have not thanked the señor.

He has no wish to harm us, I'm sure.

Oh, we are all indebted to you, señor.

If you will come into our home that our mother

may thank you.

Well, I'll be glad to.

The Americanos have taken everything that is rightfully ours.

Our vineyards.

They have desecrated our home.

Murdered my father.

Juan.

Those who have done that are not the real American.

There are good and bad Americans, the same as there

are good and bad Mexicans.

Always on a new frontier, you will find lawlessness.

But sooner or later, law prevails.

Then, you think there will be justice for us Mexicans?

Well, yes.

For everyone that lives under the American flag.

And you, you will help us?

Yes, mamacito.

I will.

Oh, if there were only something we could do for

you.

Give you to show you our appreciation.

There is so little we can do, Dolores.

Now, we're so poor.

We can only give you our thanks.

I don't want anything.

Today, all I want is your friendship.

I want to see you happy again.

I can't keep on recording all these claims for you,

Mal.

Why not?

There aren't any other claims on file for their properties.

I know, but they're all covered by old Spanish grants.

I don't care about that.

As long as there's no record of them here, I'm

filing.

Go ahead.

But I still think...

Nobody's asking you to think.

If you want to think, just think how McDaniel died.

I know, but I didn't have anything to do with

it.

We could prove different.

You wouldn't frame me.

All right.

I'll make the entry.

Spanish.

See who that is.

You're here again?

I told you to see if I was taking out

your claim.

Yes, I know that, but I'm here on behalf of

this boy.

Oh, I'm mixed.

What difference does it make?

You could tell us claim the right to the hacienda

and the lands.

There's nothing in the records about it.

But, senor, here's the original grant.

Why, this land is legally recorded in the name of

Mel Halsted.

I'd like to see the record.

You can't look at those records.

They belong to the United States government.

But this grant says the land is mine.

Well, it's not yours.

You cannot take our land away from us.

It belongs to us.

You have told us that your government would help me

and my people get back what rightfully belongs to them.

My government will, Juan.

But it seems like we're getting nowhere here.

They must give it back to us.

It belongs to us.

You cheaters of what is ours.

I killed you like they killed my father.

Shedding blood won't help.

No matter what you do, you can't change those records.

But don't you understand?

It is our home.

I was born there.

My father before me.

His father before him.

Is that not enough?

I will not let them keep my land.

Listen.

I've had enough of your threats.

You get him out of here or I'll call the

sheriff.

All right.

Come on, Juan.

If that Pearson is trying to get a claim for

himself, why is he worrying about justice for those Mexicans?

I don't know.

Did you hear him say the government would help him?

Government.

About Pearson.

Be sure to enter Blackie's claim today.

I'll send him in for the grant.

It'll be ready.

Wait here.

Scare the girl so that Mexican will come out.

There, Mama.

Pretty soon you can sit out and rock in the

sun.

Juan!

You're getting out of here for good.

Juan!

Eat this first.

We go.

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit

of thy womb.

Mama!

Mother!

Mama!

Mama!

Where's Lou?

Well, something's happened to him.

Come on.

Must have been that Mexican.

Or Buck Pearson.

Cut him down.

Wanted.

Dead or alive.

Buck Pearson and Juan Cantoba.

$500 reward.

So, that's your friend that's been buying you drinks and

charging them.

Now who's going to pay me?

I'll pay you.

I'll pay you.

All right, but how?

As soon as I get the reward.

I certainly could use that money.

I don't know what good it would do you.

You owe most of it to me.

Oh, yeah.

I never thought of that.

No?

Well, I did.

You know, the minute he entered the El Dorado, I

knew he was no good.

Yeah, there's something funny about a man that don't drink.

I'd like to get my hands on him and why

I...

Not if I see him first, you won't.

Yeah, you know, I knew all along that that Pearson

was a no good hombre.

Here he is.

Here he is.

I claim the reward.

Sheriff!

Sheriff!

I'm afraid we won't see those two renegades around here

again.

Hold him now, boys.

Hold him for me.

He's in the El Dorado.

Who is?

Pearson.

I've captured him.

I saw him first now.

Gotcha.

All right, drag him up.

I got him, Sheriff, and I claim the reward.

Get up from there.

This is Sheriff.

I got hold of you now.

So you got him, did you?

Well, I did have him, but somebody switched on me.

$500 gone.

Fine bunch of man hunters.

I tell you I had a hold of them, lock,

stock and barrel.

That's what that rye with tequila chasers will do to

you.

That's not a bad idea.

I don't think Buck Pierce was even in the place.

Hank, a triple rye with a cup of tequilas.

Senor, I'm happy to see you.

I've been so troubled about you and Juan.

Oh, I tried to visit you sooner, but I knew

you'd be safe here with your brother, McGill.

Juan is coming too?

Why, no.

I thought I'd find him here.

But I have not seen Juan since I came to

the mission.

I do not understand.

Has something happened to him?

No, no, Dolores.

Nothing's happened to him.

And when he returns, tell him to wait for me.

And don't let him go near San Dimas.

San Dimas?

But why?

I know.

They're looking for him to arrest him.

That is it.

I begged him not to seek revenge.

What good can it do now?

We get pleaded with him too.

Please, you find him for me.

Dolores, don't worry.

I'll try.

I'll find him for you.

I know you'll find him for me.

I believe in you.

Don't move.

Or I'll shoot.

Do you know why I'm here?

Why?

I haven't done anything to you.

Besides, if you shoot me, they'll hang you.

Already you have done worse things than hang me.

Wait a minute.

Now give me a chance.

They made me do it.

They made me do this to you too.

Oh.

Why, you wouldn't kill me in cold blood.

They killed my father.

My mother.

You helped.

No, no, please don't.

Don't shoot.

For you, I'd go tonight and pay the next debt.

Halsted, who lives in the house he stole from us.

What?

Don't shoot.

Stay where you are, Barclay.

It is my duty to kill them all.

Real fight, but not that way.

Sit down.

Barclay, I want all the records of this office, including

the ones that were ordered.

Then I'm taking you and Juan to General Wyatt.

Why, you're taking me.

You know who I am.

I'm taking you for evidence.

But you can't do that, Halsted, and kill me.

Pack up those records.

And don't forget any of them.

I've got them all.

Including McDaniel's tampered records?

Yeah.

You better send for the sheriff.

We'll get him when we need him.

Senor, there'll be no justice.

I promise that there will be this time.

Down.

Juan, don't go out there.

Stay here.

Everything's ready, Barclay.

You better hurry.

Come on.

Are you fellas sure?

Yeah, Sheriff.

I saw Buck Pearson kill Barclay.

We chased him out of town, but lost him.

Well, let's have a look.

Buck Pearson, I arrest you for the murder of Barclay.

Not just yet, Sheriff.

Look out, Sheriff.

Back up.

Maybe you suffer a little bit before you die, eh?

They'll hang you, Mexican.

But you can't hang me.

You will not live to see it.

How is

he?

Pearson.

Good.

All the reports I had were of rioting, of raids,

and of killings.

My orders were to work as I saw fit, sir.

I am of the impression that you have been waging

a one-man war.

The war is over, sir.

You think it is.

I have here a representative in California with even another

complaint.

Who is he and where is he, sir?

Right back at you.

Dolores, what are you doing here?

You did not come to see me, so I could

thank you.

For saving my home and the homes of all my

friends.

You travel a long ways, I...

You really came here to see me?

Captain Pearson?

Yes, sir.

Your orders are to return to California.

To cement the friendship with our new Americans.

And of course, I shall be the best man at

the wedding.

Is that an order, sir?

It is, Captain.

That's an order.

Orders are orders.

Captain Pearson?

Yes, sir.

One mile from the flag post?

Yes, sir.
