Here's adventure!

Here's romance!

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

The Cisco Kid!

(gunfire) Nice timing, Greg.

(door closing) Anything to please the boss.

You requested the marshal be removed from office,

so he was removed.

Who's our next victim-- I mean, marshal?

I don't think the next one will be a victim.

You're not going soft, are you?

No, but the next marshal's going to work hand in hand

with us.

I get impatient with these fellows who have their own

ideas of law and order.

I know.

In the last three months, you've been impatient five times.

Hey, Pancho.

We're not far from this town.

I don't think I'll take Diablo any farther.

Here, take his horseshoe into town and get one

the same size as this.

And hurry back, we'll be here.

Pancho, don't get in any trouble-- but hurry!

Oh, Cisco, don't worry, I won't get in no trouble.

I will hurry back, I will get back before you can say,

well, before you can say...

"Jack Robinson."

Who?

"Jack Robinson."

Jack Robinson, that some fellow you want me to look up in

the town for you?

No, Pancho, "Jack Robinson" is just an expression.

I've never been to this town.

I don't have any friends there.

Heh, that's a good way for me to get into trouble, looking up

friends you don't got, eh?

Oh, Pancho, please hurry.

Yes, and if I see this friend of yours, Jack Robinson, I'll

tell him you don't know him, eh?

(chuckling) Well, I don't know what could

be keeping the Colonel.

According to Johnson, he should have been here

an hour ago.

Look, Loco.

Big celebration, the flags and everything, they must be

expecting somebody, eh?

And Loco, don't forgot to keep your eye open for a

blacksmith shop, eh?

Say, maybe that's the, uh-- No, no, I guess not.

Is that him?

I don't know.

I have no idea what he looks like.

You don't?

No, I told you before, this is strictly a phony we're

expecting.

Manuel sent him across the border for me.

Look, it's a horseshoe.

Must be the Colonel.

Welcome to Border Town, Colonel!

Colonel?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Johnson told us that you like to be called

just plain, "Lucky."

Lucky, oh, you bet, that's a nice name, Lucky, heh.

He also told us that you'd, uh, come incognito.

No I didn't, I come on horseback.

(laughing) On horseback!

Yes, man.

Ah, Johnson warned us.

What a sense of humor, huh?

You see, I got this horseshoe and I come to get--

Hey, don't you worry a bit about this horseshoe, Colonel--

I'm awfully sorry-- Lucky.

Ah, but 'course we'll take care of the horseshoe for ya.

You take care of that, will you, Ned?

Yeah, but I got a friend who was--

Oh, Lucky, you've got thousands of friends,

but none of 'em can compare with the friends that you find

in this little town of ours.

No sir.

Now come on, boys, let's show him what we mean.

Come on.

(overlapping chatter) Hey!

Heh heh, yes, it's just like I was telling you.

You know, Colonel, when I told the citizens in this town

that you'd agreed to be their guest of honor,

they were really surprised.

Surprised?

Oh, no, I was the one who was surprised, heh heh.

Say, tell me, what was your narrowest escape, Lucky?

Well, I think the narrowest escapest I ever had

was in Guadalajara.

Ah, was that the time the 5,000 troops had you surrounded

in the fort?

No, no, no, no, this was the time the bull chased me up

a telegraph pole.

(laughing) Well, gentlemen, we have a

busy day lined up, so if you'll excuse the Colonel and me.

(overlapping chatter) (laughing)

Bye.

You were terrific.

But don't overdo it.

They're crazy about you.

They're crazy about me, I'm crazy about them, but my friend,

he won't understand.

Pardon me.

What are all these decorations in town for?

Decorations?

They're for Col. Lucky Gonzales.

Col. Lucky Gonzales, who is he?

Col. Lucky Gonzales?

Oh, what a man.

My goodness, you'd never suspected he was a hero.

Just simple and natural.

He must be quite a man.

Where is he?

Uh, you'll find him with Mr. Johnson.

Mr. Johnson?

Who is Mr. Johnson?

Johnson?

Why, he's the keystone of our little community.

He practically runs this town.

Oh, he's quite a man.

You should meet him.

Maybe I will.

Thank you very much.

That's all-- oh, wait just a minute.

My name is Sims, I'm the only undertaker for miles

around here.

Now, if you ever need my services, just look me up.

(Sims laughing) Maybe I will.

Thank you very much.

I'll think of you.

Yeah.

Oh, the ice cream!

I think I'm preventing to understand.

You want me to lie to these people and tell them something

what I ain't, eh?

You don't have to play dumb with me.

I'm quite certain Manuel told you exactly what you're

supposed to do.

Manuel, who is Manuel?

Now you're gonna tell me you don't know Manuel?

Oh, sure, sure, I don't know Manuel.

Oh, you don't?

I suppose you don't know you're expected to impersonate a

fictitious character.

Heh, I don't know him, too.

Who?

Frictitious.

I've had enough of this.

I hired you for a job, and I'm gonna see that you do it.

Well, I had enough of this too, and I'm--

You're what?

Well, I was hired for a job, and I'm gonna see that I do it.

That's more like it.

Now you better go up to the hotel and clean up.

The committee'll call for you and take you to the speaker's

platform.

Meantime, you can study this speech.

Come on.

See you in a little while, Colonel.

Yes.

Oh, that's you, don't you?

Cisco, why'd they all want me to say yes when I want to say no?

But then, why didn't you tell Johnson you weren't the Colonel

in the first place?

Because I thought Johnson was your friend, Jack Robinson,

and well, this is different, Cisco, and I will not lie to

those people.

Not even if it'll help them?

Cisco, you yourself told me that a lie didn't help nobody.

But this time it may, Pancho.

Why?

Because Johnson is doing all of this for some reason,

and I want you to help me to find out what that reason is.

This is one of the greatest moments in the history

of our fair town.

For here today, sitting beside me, is your friend and mine,

the one and only, Colonel Lucky Gonzales.

(applauding, cheering) Citizens of Border Town,

the Colonel has decided to settle down here.

(applauding, cheering) And to show him how we feel

about that, I say we should ask him to be our next marshal.

(applauding, cheering) Judging from that, I'd say he

could name his own price.

Colonel, how about a speech?

(applause) Gracias, amigos.

And I promise you one thing, my dear friends.

Anything you want me to did, I will did for you.

I am marshal.

I will promise to did everything you want me to did.

Which one of these hombres is Johnson?

Who wants to know?

Me.

Colonel Lucky Gonzales.

Just a minute.

(applause) Do you want to see me?

Yes, I'm Lopez.

Manuel sent me and said I was to get $300 to make some people

believe that I'm Colonel Lucky Gonzales.

Well, that's Colonel Lucky Gonzales up there.

There must be some mistake.

There's only one mistake, and you make it now.

Now, hold on.

Look, I'm convinced you're the man Manuel sent, but it's too

late to do anything about it.

It is never too late for Lopez.

Wait a minute.

You shoot him now, that crowd'll tear you apart.

They'll hang you first, and ask questions afterwards.

The best thing to do is discredit him.

What is this thing, discredit?

Ask him some questions he can't answer.

Prove he's a phony.

Ah, discredit, she's no good.

The gun, she is much faster.

Are you gonna listen to me?

But, he's a phony.

Yes, but so are you.

Caramba.

I didn't think about this.

Okay, we use this discredit.

Yeah, this time I was in real trouble.

I was surrounded.

There was one man in front of me and one man in back of me,

and one man on each side.

Then I roll over, and I shoot the man in front of me.

I roll over again, and shoot the man in back of me,

and I was saved.

(laughing) Oh, what happened to the men

on the two sides?

When I roll over, they shoot each other.

(laughing) You big phony.

Who, me?

Yes, you, you're not Colonel Gonzales, you're just a

bueno para nada.

(argument in Spanish) Wait a minute, wait a minute.

I understand Spanish.

This man accused the Colonel of being an impostor, and the

Colonel challenged him immediately to a contest, to

prove that he's Colonel Lucky Gonzales,

the best shot, the best rider, and the most powerful man in

all Mexico.

Isn't that what you said, Colonel?

I did?

That's right, I did!

Senor, do you accept the Colonel's challenge?

With pleasure.

Now folks, this is an event to decide the star with.

The man who pulls his opponent across this line is declared

the winner.

Now, you're both ready.

Go!

(shouting and cheering) (laughing)

Now folks, this is to decide who is the best shot.

I'm gonna throw the bottle up in the air, and it must be hit

while in the air.

All right, Colonel, you first.

No, let him try first.

Hm, very well.

You first then.

Are you ready?

Go!

(gunshot, bottle breaking) (applause)

Bottle, thank you.

You ready, Colonel?

All right, go!

(gunshot, bottle breaking) (applause)

Folks, we'll now try the same thing with two bottles.

Is that satisfactory to you sir?

Sure.

And to you, Colonel?

No?

No?

Yes, no.

(overlapping chatter) Four?

Four!

You mean to tell me that you want me to throw four bottles

up in the air?

Yes.

(overlapping chatter) Is that all right with you,

sir?

If he can do it, I can do it.

All right, give me two more bottles.

Are you ready?

Go!

(gunfire) (overlapping chatter)

Uh, give me the other four bottles.

All right, are you ready, Colonel?

Go!

(gunfire) (applause)

That's a fine exhibition of marksmanship, Colonel.

You're a great man with a gun.

I'm a great man without a gun, and if I had my way, nobody

would carry a gun.

Folks, did you hear what the Colonel just said?

Now, that makes sense to me.

What do you say we all turn in our guns?

Okay men, let's turn in the guns.

You heard what the Colonel said.

Sure, I heard.

Well then, why don't you get rid of your gun?

Leave my gun alone.

Oh, you don't believe in the laws of this town, huh?

Sure, I believe in it.

But, I am not going to abide by it, because this Colonel Lucky

Gonzales is a phony.

Cisco-- Steady, Colonel.

We can work this out.

You heard the Colonel, now give me that gun.

I'm going to get rid of my gun when you get rid of yours.

What are you talking about?

You know what I'm talking about.

Why, you!

Thank you.

All right, Colonel, you're in business.

Oh, say, by the way, you'd better keep my card.

You may need it, huh?

(laughing) You know, Cisco?

I'm sorry you are the first customer.

I don't mind it.

Cisco, there is something I don't understand.

Why you telling me to say I'm Colonel Gonzales, and then you

tell all the people I'm make believe.

Wait a minute, Pancho, I'll explain--

No, don't explain, Cisco.

I'm all mixed up, my head go around like a windmill.

Just stay where you are, make yourself to home.

He pulled a fast one.

What are we gonna do about it?

Same thing we did about all the others.

People have a habit of forgetting dead lawmen,

in a hurry.

Don't look at me.

Any hombre that can shoot four little bitsy bottles with one

gun can't miss a big Lopez like me.

Getting rid of them, marshal, we have one factor to reckon

with.

That's the love that the people of this town have for the man.

Believe me, if he shows up dead, the natives around here

aren't gonna rest until the murderer of the beloved here

is brought to justice.

We have a problem.

Pancho, I want to congratulate you.

This is the best jail I've been in.

Yeah, and we don't got a lot of sheriffs running in and out

all over the place, and we can eat peaceless.

(footsteps) Sh, somebody's coming.

Wait a minute, Pancho, I'm supposed to be in there.

Oh yeah, I forgot, Cisco.

Marshal, Johnson wants to see you right away.

See me?

You mean, leave me here, and take my eye off of this

dangerous desperado?

I'll look after him for you.

All right, but you be careless, he's a very dangerous

hombre.

I'll take my chances.

From what I can gather, you seem to have it in for the marshal.

Why shouldn't I?

How'd you like to even things up?

What way?

Kill him off.

Fat chance I have in this cell, and with no gun.

Oh, that's where I come in.

I can get the keys and let you out, and give you a shooting

eye, if you're interested.

Well?

If you do a nice job, there's $500 in it.

Why are you so interested in getting rid of the marshal?

Oh, I, uh...

I've sort of had my eye on the marshal's job for some time now.

Who's putting up the money for the payoff?

Never mind, you wanna do it, or don't you?

Sure, sure I'll do it.

I'll see to it that the marshal is at Devil's Rock

within the hour.

That's just north of town, over by the border.

Hey, wait a minute.

What about the payoff?

After you finish the job, meet me at Devil's Rock.

Gun.

This is the best job I ever had, Mr. Johnson.

Marshal, a couple of smugglers were seen trying to

sneak across the border up near Devil's Rock.

They were?

Your move, Mr. Johnson.

Didn't you hear what the man said?

Yeah, they will sneak back across again, it's your move.

But marshal, all your wonderful friends are looking to

you to maintain law and order.

They are?

Yes, come on, you don't have any time to waste.

Maybe you probably like to go with me.

Oh no, no, that's your department.

Then I'll organize a posse-- A posse?

The great Colonel Gonzales, organize a posse?

Gonzales, who singlehandedly captured 10,000 men?

Nonsense, you go out there alone, Colonel, show them

what you're made of.

Everybody knows what I'm made of.

But Cisco-- Sh, Pancho.

I've come here to get the smugglers.

And I came here to kill you.

But, Cisco-- We're being watched.

I've got to kill you.

But, Cisco!

Now look, when I shoot you, fall down.

Now, get up.

(gunshot) You stay here and play dead.

I'm going to town to see if I can get to the bottom of this

payoff.

Now, you follow me in about ten minutes.

Hey, Cisco?

What?

Don't get the badge dirty.

Lay down.

You get him?

He's not moving.

Ah, good.

$500 for killing the marshal ain't bad.

Put up your hands.

We heard that conversation.

So, you're the one who's been killing off our marshals.

You two, drop your guns.

No, you drop yours.

Oh, so that's how it works, huh?

Yes, that's how it works.

Too bad you tried to beat the combination.

Tie him up, we'll take him back to town.

The citizens will be anxious to meet the killer of their beloved

Colonel Gonzales.

Get moving.

Stranger.

(overlapping chatter) Gentlemen, I am sorry to say

I have a most regrettable announcement to make.

Our great friend, Colonel Gonzales has been killed.

Killed?

(angry shouting) Yes.

But fortunately, we were able to capture his killer.

The same man who murdered our other marshals.

Here he is, and he's all yours.

(overlapping chatter) (snoring)

Loco, I've been sleeping for a long distances.

Cisco wants me back in town in ten minutes.

(overlapping chatter) Throw a rope up over that

tree, boys, come on.

That's it.

Come on, who's got the rope here?

Who's got a rope here?

Some of you boys get on the other side of Jackson here.

Lopez, when the time is right, I'll tell the good

citizens how you helped me capture the Colonel's killer.

Then I'm sure they won't have any objections to your being

our next marshal.

In fact-- Hey, it's the marshal!

Wait a minute, looks like we've been double-crossed.

Colonel Gonzales, I thought you were dead, and thought

this man killed you.

That is not true.

Cisco's my good friend.

Johnson is the man you want, he killed all the marshals.

He tried to do the same thing to me, but Cisco was too smart

for him.

Untie me, Pancho.

Greg-- Pancho, take care of

this one.

Hey, not so fast.

In other words, this Lopez was supposed to be the phony

Colonel Gonzales, and Johnson was going to work with him and

take over the town, eh?

Yes, that's right, thank you.

What does that make you, Pancho?

Well, I guess that make me just a make believe,

and I'm sorry.

Well, don't you be sorry, because we still love you.

You do?

We sure do.

Yeah, we'd still like to have you for our marshal.

Oh, well!

No-- well, maybe this can-- Oh, no you don't.

You get in enough trouble without being a marshal.

Yeah, Cisco, you help some too.

This is who that man?

That's Jack Robinson.

Oh, Cisco!

Oh, Pancho.

(laughing) Goodbye, amigos!

See you soon!

(laughing)
