Here's adventure.

Here's romance.

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

"The Cisco Kid."

(birds chirping) Listen, Cisco,

listen to the little birdies.

They are much smarter than people, huh?

They all talk the same language.

See that little fellow there?

He's saying, "Señorita sparrow, "what are you doing tonight?

"I know a nice new peach tree "that's just opened

"for business.

(gunshots firing) How about it, shall we try?"

Listen, Pancho.

Guns all speak the same language, too.

Cisco, I think we better stay here and listen

to the birds, eh?

(gunshot firing) Look, Cisco,

this for fun shooting.

Hey, maybe we are standing in the middle of the eye

of the bull, huh?

(birds chirping) Heh, when Cisco hears shooting,

all that we think is banditos.

Did you say Cisco?

And I take it that you're, um, Pancho.

That's me, do we know you?

No, no, but they know all about you in town.

Since the gold ran out, they don't even know this

town's here anymore.

Cisco Kid, welcome to Canyon City!

Now I'll tell you, you just call me Gramps.

And I'm mighty swelled up to greet you.

Hello, Gramps.

Now you just come right over here, I want you to meet

a book-writing fella from the East.

Now, um, this little charmer here, she's Miss Lili.

How do you do, señorita?

You know, Miss Lili, she does all the writing,

and Mathers here gets paid for doing all the thinking.

You know, Mathers, if you could just get Cisco here to talking,

you wouldn't have to bother about getting any more stuff

for your books.

How do you do, Cisco?

Mr. Mathers.

I tell you what.

Cisco, you tell him about the time that you and Pancho

took care of that Davis gang down at Rim Rock.

Bar none, he's the fastest draw and the keenest shot

in the whole West.

But, Gramps, you just said that about Kenny.

Shooting match is free for all, why don't you take a turn?

No, thanks, Kenny.

Mr. Mathers is putting this up as first prize.

I don't want it if I can't win it.

Well-tooled piece of leather.

I'll bet on Kenny.

If you do, señorita, you're gonna have less pesos.

I agree with Miss Lili.

I'm out of practice.

Besides, I'd rather watch.

Yeah, but that was only yesterday, Cisco, that you--

You know this Cisco is not one to show off.

Now, you recollect, Kenny.

This match is between you and Cappy.

Once you get on your line out there.

Go on, spring on the target, when I say fire.

You understand it?

Cisco, you crazy, that's a beautiful saddle.

Fire.

Bravo, Kenny, bravo!

Fine shooting, Kenny.

Now I'd like to see some real shooting, Cisco.

Fire!

What's the matter, Cappy?

You can shoot better than that.

Do we know him, Cisco?

We meet lots of people, you know how it is?

Cappy is short for Capelo, Pancho.

Oh, yeah, now I remember.

You remember what?

Your shooting, for instance.

Good enough to murder a man at twice the distance.

And with a bullet in the heart.

Who said it was murder?

Why didn't you wait to find out?

I heard you took a long ride back East.

Did you know about this, Mr. Mathers?

One moment, Cisco, please.

To answer your question, Gramps, yes, I know about Cappy's past.

But should one incident haunt a man's life?

Didn't you ever make a mistake, Cisco?

Some men make mistakes and turn out fine.

I'm glad you said that.

Now them's my feelings.

How about Cisco going to work on them books with you?

Yes, what about it, Cisco?

Cappy here can tell you that I pay very well.

Thank you very much, Mr. Mathers.

I'll accept your offer.

We like our boss man, don't we, Lady?

And we don't want to lose him.

Do you think The Cisco Kid really believes our boss man

is writing a book?

Do you, Lady?

(Lady squawking) Oh, stop talking to

that fool parrot.

Oh, but I'm talking to you, Kirk.

Tell me, Lady, is Cisco the type of man

who likes to write letters?

Long letters?

What are you driving at?

There's Cisco and there's his letter.

Well, aren't you curious?

Maybe it's about us.

Thanks, Lili, I'll have the boys saddle up just to be

on the safe side.

(Lady squawking) Cisco, we're going up to

Emerson's place.

Would you like to join us?

Sorry, Gramps.

I'm going to give this letter to the express rider.

That's a beautiful saddle, Kenny.

(gunshot firing) That shot will open the eyes

of Cisco and the punk.

Lili was right.

It's to Marshall Will Lundy, Kansas City, Missouri.

We sure don't want him on our trail.

Get rid of the guy and the horse.

I'll take Cisco's letter back to town.

(Lady squawking) Shut up.

Go on reading, Lili.

"So I granted the point.

"A mistake in the past can be "forgotten, but this man

"has made many.

"Cappy is rotten inside and always will be."

"Cappy is rotten inside and always will be."

(laughing) "That's what led me to be

"suspicious of this man "he's working for,

this Kirk Mathers."

You led him to me.

I should have gotten rid of you a year ago.

Kirk!

Along with other talents, Cisco is good at describing people.

He really has you nailed, even to that ring you're wearing,

which I also told you to throw away.

What else does he say?

Well, he says I'm beautiful, but he doesn't like

the way I dress.

He even described Lady.

So anyone from Kansas City on East is gonna know who we are.

Trapped by a no-good hoodlum and a parrot.

(Lady squawking) Do what you like to him,

but keep your hands off Lady.

I told you it wasn't my fault, it's his.

Look here, Mathers.

Well, he won't cause us any more trouble.

Your brain isn't as big as Lady's.

You kill Cisco and the whole West will be after us.

And where will we run to then?

Whatever we do, we have to do it fast.

Oh, relax, Kirk.

Cisco's waiting for an answer to this.

You'd better get rid of it, like you didn't get

rid of Cappy or that ring.

Or the parrot.

Come here, Kirk, take a look.

At what?

Just look.

(gunshot firing) Cisco Kid in town,

Kenny's small fry.

His thunder's been stolen.

A few of the right words said in the right way

and he'll be using those guns on Cisco.

Well, he's no match for Cisco.

(gunshot firing) Cappy and Moose

can take care of that.

'Twould be lawful revenge for murder.

Did it work?

Better than expected.

Wait'll you see him.

"Oh, Kenny, I could bite my "tongue for telling.

"I... I'm sure Cisco didn't "really mean to insult you.

Not really."

Let me know when he rides in.

I wanna sink the final bomb.

Please, Cisco's in there.

I know.

Don't go in.

He's a better shot than you are.

We'll decide that right now.

(men laughing) How's the goat?

What goat?

I don't see no goat.

Your goat, Pancho.

The Cisco Kid.

A kid is a goat.

A little goat that makes a lot of noise but ain't

worth its keep.

That's Cisco.

Hey!

You're out of your mind.

What's a matter, goat?

What are you saying?

Keep out of this, Gramps.

I don't want you to get hurt, Mr. Mathers, so get

out of the way.

Get over there.

Go over by the wall, Pancho.

Yeah, but Cisco, I-- Pancho.

And no tricks This is just between

me and the goat.

Better get in your best shot, Cisco.

Hey, goat.

Hey, goat!

Goat!

I have no gun, Kenny.

What's your grudge?

Get it off your chest.

Put it on.

We'll start even.

I'm not drawing against you, Kenny.

Shooting a man is not a game.

Like seeing who has the fastest horse or who can throw

a rock the farthest.

Even when a man is bad and he has to be killed,

same as a crazy animal, it's a dirty, miserable job.

Come on, Pancho.

(door closing) I could have followed

the gold trail, Kenny, but I stayed here

to raise you clean.

Now you're all boiled up inside.

I wish I had let Cisco cool you off a bit.

(door closing) Oh, Kenny, I'm proud of you.

Cisco was afraid to draw against you, actually afraid.

Good work, Kenny.

Cisco's a smooth-talking fraud and deserves to be exposed.

Kirk, don't talk that way.

Let's take a walk and forget all about the Cisco Kid.

All I smell, is that goat still here?

Beat it, Kenny.

Get back to the ranch where you belong.

It's my fault, Cisco.

Kenny's dad was never much of a shot.

He got his right down there during the boom days.

And I vowed then that it would never happen to Kenny.

I kept a gun in his hand day in and out.

And I drilled it into him.

"Kenny, you're the best shot "in the world.

No man can stand up to you."

I didn't figure it would make him gun crazy.

His dad was a good man.

But promise me one thing, Cisco.

No matter how loco he goes, don't kill him.

The blood will be on my hands.

Don't worry on that point, Gramps.

Stories about you don't go deep enough, Cisco.

(door closing) Go away, little boy, go.

Well, like old times, Kenny.

What do you say we get some grub and load up the old mule

and see...

Say, what's gnawing you?

Cisco is a good guy, and you're acting like

a half-brained calf.

I told you to keep out of this, Gramps.

Oh.

(Pancho speaking Spanish) What are you trying

to tell me, Pancho?

Where did my letter go?

Cisco, your letter didn't went no place,

I told you five times.

Just tell me once and quietly, now.

You said the man rode into town?

On top of the stagecoach with a big badge.

And he didn't look for you and he didn't look

for me, bueno.

Well, who was he looking for?

Cisco, that's what I forget to tell you.

The mailman, he didn't went to Plattsville like he should've

went, when he went from here.

And the letter you sent, didn't went where it should've went.

Look, Pancho, give me time to get downstairs and shoot

out of the window.

Shoot, at who?

At nobody, just shoot.

And be careful and don't hit anybody.

(gunshot firing) Cisco won't shoot,

but Kenny will.

(laughing) Hey, goat, I could've

plugged you in the back.

But you're gonna get it facing me with a gun in your hand,

and my next shot counts.

Now, Kenny-- Keep talking, Cisco.

Keep talking.

Hey, goat!

Hey, goat!

(birds chirping) (gunshot firing)

I'm sorry to do this to you, Kenny.

Let's see you beat me at shooting without tricks.

Proving you're the best shot proves nothing, Kenny.

The important thing is to know when to use your gun.

Don't worry, Gramps, the young pup is all right.

Cisco-- Oh, it ain't fair to make

a promise to a man when another man's out to kill him.

Look here, Mathers.

You staged the show, but that's Cisco coming back.

What about Kenny?

He's all right, Gramps.

Where is Mathers?

Up in his room.

Why, do you want to see him about something?

Murder.

What?

I'll go after Cisco and pick up the pieces.

We better get out of here and fast.

(banging on door) I don't know who you really

are, Mathers, but you're going to answer for murder.

Murder that you committed right here between Canyon City

and Plattsville.

What are you talking about?

The express rider.

He had a letter of mine about you and your gang

and you wanted it.

What letter?

If you think I have a letter of yours,

go ahead and look around for it.

(Lady squawking) "Cappy is rotten inside

and always will be."

(squawking) Who is it?

Kirk Mathers.

Thanks, Polly.

She has a better memory than you have, Mathers.

Trapped by a no-good hoodlum parrot.

Hold it, Cisco.

Throw your gun over there.

Oh!

Darling, Cisco doesn't shoot women.

Meet me down at the carriage, Cappy.

Lady, I won't leave without Lady!

Let me go, let me go!

Let me go!

Cisco, you went back for the parrot?

Let's go!

(yelping) Cisco!

Keep out of it.

It's between Cappy and me.

I came back to get you, but Lili set me straight about

things and I figured now was the time for a man to use his gun.

(gunshots firing) Your shot, Cisco.

You win, Kenny.

So long, Cisco, Pancho!

Now don't forget Canyon City!

Cisco, that young fellow hit the middle of the eye of the

bull every time, but that last shot of yours was...

Oh, Cisco!

Oh, Pancho.

Goodbye, amigos!

See you soon!

Ha!
