Here's adventure.

Here's romance.

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

"The Cisco Kid."

This is a free range and I've got as much right to that

water hole as he has.

You have no right at all, señor.

The pool has belonged to the Rancho Escobar

for the past 100 years.

Now I'm warning you again-- Why, you old dried-up--

Gentlemen, gentlemen.

You're behaving like a couple of children.

Señor Commissioner.

Now, gentlemen, there's no sense in you threatening

each other.

There's a question of law and facts.

I know neither one of you gentlemen intend to break

the law, so why don't you let me check the facts and then

give you my decision?

But in the meanwhile?

Meanwhile, Don Escobar, neither one of you will act

without my consent, is that understood?

After all, gentlemen, I've only been here a week.

Why don't you give me a little time to get my bearings?

Even a commissioner sent out from Washington

isn't superhuman.

Now if you'll be good enough to excuse me.

Keep your cattle where they belong, Stewart,

or I'll fence the pool.

Yeah?

Well, you do that.

And I'll have my men tear it down.

Oh, Pancho.

Pancho!

Wake up.

Wake up, Pancho!

Come on, I need you.

And I need some sleep.

You go by yourself.

All right, if that's the way you feel about it, stay.

I'm sorry you feel that way about it.

What I wanted to do is help our good friend Miguel Escobar.

He's in a lot of trouble over water rights.

Why didn't you told me before I wake up?

Why do you want to beat on top of the bush about it?

Let's went.

Whoa!

Oh, driver, could you tell me where

the commissioner's office is?

It's right across the street, ma'am.

Oh, thank you.

I'll send for my trunk later.

(dog barking) Come along, Rags.

Come on, Rags.

(dog barking) I'd like to see

the commissioner please.

Yes, I'm the commissioner.

No, I mean my uncle, Henry Gordon.

I'm Lucille Gordon.

Oh, won't you come in and sit down please?

Thank you.

He, uh, he didn't tell us he was expecting such a pleasant

addition to the family.

Well, he wasn't.

At least not for another month, but I thought I'd surprise him.

Where is he?

He's not ill, is he?

Oh no, he's fine.

We're all very fond of your uncle, Miss Gordon.

I know, he's such a darling.

I was so afraid that I would spoil the surprise that I didn't

tell anyone except the stagecoach driver who I was.

But where is my uncle?

Can I see him?

Not right now.

He's being held prisoner.

Prisoner?

By whom?

By me.

(dog barking) Couple of my men met him when

he arrived at the railhead last week.

Then I borrowed his name and credentials.

In other words, I'm Henry Gordon.

You mean you're posing as my uncle?

Precisely.

Let go.

Let me out of here!

(dog barking) Please!

That's quite a spunky little dog you have.

What's his name?

That's none of your business.

At least he uses his own name.

Does this make me a prisoner, too?

No, that wouldn't make sense.

Too many awkward questions would be asked if you

suddenly disappeared.

No, you're going to remain here as my niece.

I'm sure you'd rather be my niece than have me kill

your uncle.

Unfortunately, it has to be one thing or the other.

Even if I said yes, you don't think you could get away with

anything like this.

You'll find I'm not in the habit of taking on more

than I can handle.

Please, I-- He's one of my men.

So we understand each other.

But remember, you'll be watched constantly.

Talk and you'll sign your uncle's death warrant.

I hope that's clear.

You're her bodyguard, Lacey.

Take her to her hotel.

Come on, Rags.

What if she finds out we already killed her uncle?

She won't.

Unless you or I or Lacey tell her.

But if she does-- ah, we won't worry about her.

She'll be no problem.

What about old man Escobar?

When do we get to work on him?

Not until the feud between him and Stewart reaches

the point where it's necessary for the US commissioner to

interfere, which I shall do with a great show of reluctance.

There's still a few details to be ironed out, however.

First we have to set up a phony group of homesteaders.

Then we'll question his ownership of the land,

declare it open to our phony homesteaders and take over.

Pancho!

Oh, Pancho!

Hey, Cisco.

We got time for a little snick snacks?

I'm afraid not, Pancho.

But, Cisco, I'm hungry!

We'll eat when we get to the Rancho Escobar.

It's only an hour's ride from here.

Rancho Escobar, only an hour's ride.

A man can die from an empty stomach in that time.

Charming, no?

(dog barking) Sit up, Rags.

Oh, sit up.

Oh, that's a good dog.

Who, the señorita?

The little dog.

You're a stubborn old fool, ain't ya?

I meant what I said.

You ain't fencing that pool in.

Who's gonna stop me?

Don Escobar!

Hey!

Should we break it up?

Nah, the more trouble they make, the better.

(grunting) All right, I've had enough.

I'll keep the whip, mister.

Behave yourself or I'll wrap it tight around your neck.

Now get out!

You arrived just in time, Cisco.

Gracias.

Is he the one that you've been having trouble with?

Sí, Cisco.

Go on with your friend.

Good to see you, Pancho.

And you too, Don Miguel.

Say, tell me, you still got that wonderful cook what makes

the arroz valenciana with that wonderful salsa what

I don't like with salt on it?

Yes, yes, we've still got him.

What we are waiting for?

Let's went.

We'll see you at the hacienda.

Sí, señor.

I'd like to know who those two fellas are.

Worried about them?

Well, they're friends of Escobar's.

Liable to get in our hair.

We'll comb them out if they do.

Frank, I think it's time we paid a little visit to

the Rancho Escobar.

I'll go up there in the morning with my niece.

You saw how it was yesterday.

I wouldn't mind sharing the water with him, Cisco.

But he abuses the privilege, even going so far as to

keep my cattle from the pool.

Eating again, Pancho?

I thought you just got through with breakfast?

Yeah, but the sandwiches, she don't know that.

Hey, we got company.

They didn't come through the pass, did they?

That's the only way to get here.

Good morning, Don Escobar.

Welcome, señor.

This is my niece, Lucille.

It's a pleasure to meet someone so charming, señorita.

Thank you.

These are my very good friends.

Cisco, Pancho.

How do you do?

This is Señor Gordon, the new United States commissioner here.

Won't you sit down?

Thank you.

To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit, señor?

Well, I'll come right to the point.

In view of the trouble you've been having with Stewart and to

settle similar disputes over these old Spanish land grants,

I've issued an order that all landowners must present me with

proof of original ownership.

I'm hoping in this way to end all these arguments over

property rights.

A wise decision, señor.

And a fair one.

But I shall have to send away for my papers.

They're in the custody of the good partners in Santa Fe.

That complicates things.

But a rider could get them here very quickly, señor.

I'll be very glad to run the errand for you, señor.

Oh, gracias, Pancho.

Gracias.

A man is truly blessed in this world when he has

such good friends.

Forgive me.

I will go write the authorization for Pancho.

What happens if the landowners can't prove

ownership, señor?

Well, then I'm afraid the government will have to

throw the land open to the homesteaders.

Oh, I see.

All right, Rags.

Come on, go get it.

Go get it!

(dog barking) You want to play

with me too, eh?

Here, Pancho.

Ow!

What you wanna do?

Spoil my appetite?

Ball won't last long, Lucille.

It's beginning to split open?

Oh well, I'll buy Rags another when it comes apart.

Here it is, Pancho.

Gracias, adiós, señor.

Adiós.

Adiós, Pancho.

Well, we've got to go along, too.

I'll bring you the papers as soon as Pancho returns.

You must visit us more often, señorita.

Thank you, I will.

Goodbye, sir.

Goodbye, señorita.

Come along, dear.

Good morning, Don Miguel.

How's it going, Cisco?

I trust you slept well last night.

Like a log.

As a matter of fact...

Oh, Miss Gordon must have forgotten this.

What's this?

Listen.

Huh?

What is it?

"The man you know as Gordon "is an imposter.

"He's holding my uncle prisoner "somewhere and has threatened to

"kill him immediately "if I expose him.

Lucille Gordon."

I'll get my vaqueros and we'll go after him.

No, Don Miguel.

We can't risk her uncle's life.

But, Cisco, we-- First I'm gonna have a talk

with her, before we do anything.

Be careful, there's a guard outside that door.

Yes, I know.

Thank goodness you found that note.

I was wondering how to get another message to you.

What about?

Well, they sent a man to intercept your friend Pancho

to steal those land grant papers.

Oh.

So that's what he's up to, huh?

Trying to grab the Escobar ranch, huh?

Look, young lady, have you got courage?

What do you mean?

Can I count on you to keep up this deception a little longer?

Certainly, if you think it'll help.

Of course it will.

Now if you can keep me posted about everything that goes on

here, between us, we will trap this faker.

What about my uncle?

Don't worry.

We'll find him.

Now I'll have to go and help Pancho.

I'll see you a little later, huh?

Goodbye.

(gunshots firing) Are you all right, Pancho?

I'm all right, Cisco.

That cinch, she broke again.

Go after those lobos, they steal the papers.

Watch yourself.

(birds chirping) Well, we lost him, Diablo.

And Don Miguel's papers, too.

We have failed our friend, amigo.

Come on.

Why you hanging on to those letters?

Let's just say they're souvenirs.

Anyway, they won't be of any further value to Don Escobar.

Do you, uh, do you insist that I stay here?

Not at all, my dear.

I've never insisted on anything as far as you're concerned,

have I?

That gal knows too much about us, Barry.

Doesn't matter as long as she feels there isn't anything

she can do about it.

I'll be back in a minute, Rags, and don't you

make any noise.

Here's $10.

I want you to take this to a man named Cisco at

the Rancho Escobar immediately.

I'll take that letter, bud.

You tell that girl about this or anyone else and you'll

wind up in a coffin.

"And after he locked up "the land grant papers, he said

"they practically owned the ranc already."

So that's how Cisco popped up when we jumped his friend.

She got word to him.

We're in a spot, Barry.

They know what the game is.

Hm.

That little girl has more than I gave her credit for.

Don't worry, Frank.

It won't do them much good.

Meaning what?

Tell Lacey to keep a close eye on her.

I think it's time we paid an unofficial visit to

the Rancho Escobar.

Well, Pancho, how does your head feel now?

Oh, Cisco, my head feels like it's full of bees.

It'll be full of lead unless you get your hands up.

Get Escobar.

Too bad you boys had to go poking around in something

that's none of your affair.

Makes things sort of messy.

You're going to get rough with us, huh?

You've left me no alternative.

I suppose we didn't.

However, I think-- Hi-yah!

All right, Escobar.

Let's go.

Now you watch him.

You all right, Cisco?

Yes, I am, Pancho.

Let's get after him!

Now don't you bark 'til I tell you.

All right, Rags, now, bark!

(dog barking) All right, Rags, you stay here.

I'm going to the Rancho Escobar.

(dog whimpering) (dog barking)

Get off that horse.

(horse approaching) Cisco!

Toss those guns away.

The girl doesn't mean as much to me as she does to you.

I'll give you 10 seconds if you want her to stay alive.

Do as he says, Pancho.

Get off those horses.

You can't trust him, Cisco.

He'll kill us all.

Unfortunately, you're right, my dear.

I regret very much that you and your friends are going to have

to join your dear dead uncle.

(dog barking) I knew this whip would

come in handy.

Hey, good, Cisco, we save all the little

knickknacks, huh?

Get on your horse.

When the new commissioner arrives, I'm sure he'll settle

all your problems, Don Miguel.

Look at him.

If he's not eating, he's sleeping.

Cisco, how can you say that in front of my ears?

I hear every word you say.

You did?

Yes.

Then what did I say?

You said we were gonna leave here and go see Mama Maria, huh?

No?

No.

No?

Oh, Cisco.

Oh, Pancho.

(laughing) Goodbye, amigos!

See you soon!

Ha!
