seor what is being done about the murder

the Senora dra has hired Kit Carson to

lose my knife and prove to him that we

had the motive to kill the opportunity

and the stolen weapon but is it true

horses you hav a thing to worry about my

dear when we go go to trial tomorrow the

judge and the jury are going to be very

sympathetic with a distressed young

Widow a young woman whose life has

suddenly been

blighted who is there good Carson

ma'am don't you come in Mr Carson I'm

sorry ma'am Mr rockcliffe I've got

myself three suspects I need some help

on the legal angle could you spare me a

moment always happy to Aid the

law

senores you know councelor rockcliffe

our opponent's lawyer we only know him

by his bad reputation young man enough

of that he's been kind enough to offer

his advice on your legal

rights I'm going to give each one of

them a test to either convict them of

the murder of your client or they clear

them of Suspicion do they have to take

it legally you have no compulsion on

them but it's always been my opinion

that a man who won't take a chance to

clear himself hasn't a chance in court

you've heard your rights now step up oh

senorita would you mind untie in the

hands of your brothers well don't you

think you're taking a terrible chance

with these incriminated men I'll be the

judge of

that all right now line up here at the

desk

first have any of you seen this paper

before

no now we'll see if you're telling the

truth take pen and ink each of

you I want you to write in the Spanish

language in capital letters these words

I want you to drop this lawsuit at once

how can we what's stopping you I want

you to drop this lawsuit at once but it

is not in the construction of the

Spanish language I know it do the best

you

can

and you Mr counselor I want you to take

the same test just for comparison I

don't think that's necessary what's the

matter well you mean to say that you're

considering me as a suspect remember

what you said about a man in his chances

or do I have to repeat your advice of

councel well as long as you put it that

way

why

[Applause]

Sorita would you mind stepping up please

take a look at

these where would you say Mr rockcliffe

learned the Spanish language in Spain he

writes in print like a Spaniard and your

brothers print like

[Music]

Californians Mr

rackliff you printed this warning letter

to Captain Drake yourself that's

ridiculous the the print's entirely

different how would you know unless you

made it different and not only that you

printed that note after Captain Drake

was murdered how were you so sure of the

exact time of death because you pulled

out your watch and made a point of

telling me not once but twice that was

two to two I looked out the window and

I'm no Plainsman if I couldn't tell it

was 2:30 you were setting up an alibi oh

that's circumstantial evidence now have

you anything else Mr Plainsman yes that

Spanish land grant you had I want to see

it again

well all

right drop the

gun stand right there

[Music]

everybody

[Music]

and now we can be friends again the

guilty man has been caught how can we

ever thank you kid Carson I still can't

prove it watch him for

me

Jenice it's Kit Carson

ma'am come in

Amigo what is your news you have

obtained a confession uh not yet I ran

into a bit of trouble and I need your

help of course anything that I can do

I'd like you to clear up a couple of

points Andy

first why did you ask me to protect your

husband after your husband had been

already

dead I did not know that you should have

your the lawyer knew as a matter of fact

he wrote that warning note you showed me

perhaps I have been taking advice from

the wrong man yes and another thing he

said that this important document has

not left his hand since the case began

that is true Mr rockliff has had all the

papers on the case uh-uh the one that

had this one was stabbed by a sharp

instrument your lawyer who claims that

this important document has not left his

person is Halen Hardy but your husband

who normally would carry an important

paper like this is dead does that

suggest anything to you why I I hardly

know what to think I do I think that

this document is a forgery cooked up by

you and your lawyer in Spain your

husband a very honorable man caught on

at the last moment that that your case

was not legitimate what of it my case

will still be one as long as the

California courts are obliged to accept

the Royal Crest of Spain on any document

look at it closely my

friend yes king of Spain that is what

matters in court and my stupid husband

could not see it that

way but you are very clever clever

enough to share any 50 square miles of

that Rich venturo Valley land and more

what more you mean you have more land

grants that you intend suing on you know

what I mean Jud rock cliff is only a

brain but

you you are a man

thank you very much and you are the most

beautiful and the most selfish and

contemptible murderous that will ever be

hung by the state of California on what

evidence you have no witness to my very

dull conversation with a stupid young

man oh I don't need a witness the lawal

courts might honor this forgery but uh

when I report to the governor he won't

but you are not going to report

anything

the blades of Toledo that were famous

long ago and sometimes used for more

than sewing by the women of old Spain

but per husband was must killed with a

knife is the doctor will testify no he

was killed by these shears your lawyer

switched them with El Toro's knife that

stupid fool that stupid fool is my

partner a man who would give his life

for me you were stupid Bella when you

allowed your attorney to try to pin the

murder on El Toro a man who was sent

down here with me by the governor let's

go s deloro now that we have won our

lawsuit we are checking out of your

hotel I regret the little game I play

with you but I am happy to settle our

account with

cash

gracias here I have seen and met the

most wonderful man in the world oh a

magnificent compliment k no less than

kid Carson

derer let's ride Toro adios

amigos
