Here's adventure!

Here's romance!

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

"The Cisco Kid."

(screams) Cisco, that sounded like a

gunshot.

We better check.

Something might have happened to Jose.

We'll take care of the body.

Get that gold!

They killed him, the old miner!

I saw them do it!

Down!

Wait, I hear riders.

That might be trouble.

Let's go.

Come on, McGraw, somebody's coming.

See what happened to the miner!

Jose, you can go back to Burro Flats and visit with a

girlfriend later.

First, we have to take our friend here back to town and

turn him over to the sheriff.

Jose, you're going to be a very important witness in the

trial against this hombre.

Don't worry, I'll never forget the poor miner never had

a chance.

But the señorita, you're right.

I hope she waits.

She'll wait all right.

I hope she do, because I wanted to pay her a visit also,

too.

Hey, ándale.

Hey.

Well, howdy, Cisco, Pancho.

Hello, Sheriff.

Hey, Sheriff.

Well, you're just what we've been needing around here.

Well, I see it took these two to bring you in, McGraw.

It's a murder case, Sheriff.

We have an eyewitness right here.

Si, I saw the thing.

Well, it wouldn't be his first murder.

You know who this is?

Tony McGraw.

He's wanted by sheriffs in five different counties.

Get in that cell, McGraw.

This is a coyote that claims no jail can hold him.

Well, this jail will.

Cisco and I will stay around and see that it do.

Well, boys, give me the details.

Say, I don't think I know this young man.

He's my little nephew, Jose.

Yes, Sheriff, I'm your eyewitness.

And believe me, I will tell you a straight story.

I never thought I could see such a coldblooded crime.

Save it for the jury.

All I can do is hold a prisoner here.

Sheriff, when will the trial take place?

Well, we've got a new gadget around here called the circuit

court.

Yes, I know.

But when will the circuit judge be here?

Mmm, let's see.

I think he should be in Burro Flats this week.

Burro Flats?

Why, that's where I'm going to see my friend.

See you friend.

Don't forget the trial!

It's all right, Pancho.

Let him go.

Maybe if he contacts the judge personally we'll be able to get

him here sooner and get this trial over with.

Yes, Uncle Pancho.

And if you write a letter to the judge describing me, I'll find

him in Burro Flats.

See you next week, Sheriff.

And he looked up and saw me not ten yards away.

He look on his smoking pistol still clutched in his hand.

He drew desperately.

He raise his gun to shoot me, but I walk right at him.

And he couldn't face me down because he knew he was guilty.

And that's when I had him.

So you see, that's why I couldn't get here any sooner.

And to make the matters worse, I have to leave here in a few

days.

You know, the trial will come in Arroyo pretty soon, and it's my

duty to testify against that criminal, Tony McGraw.

And to think that only my testimony could convict

him.

Excuse me, did you say McGraw?

Yes.

You're not-- oh, no, no, you couldn't be.

Couldn't be what, señor?

Uh-- nothing.

Pardon the intrusion.

I'm Judge Watkins, you see, and my mind must have been on

something else when I heard you talking.

Judge Watkins, why you must be the gentlemen that I'm

supposed to give my testimonial, eh?

Why, glad to know you, señor.

I'm Jose Gonzales de la Vega, but you can call me Jose.

You're not Pancho's nephew?

Oh, yes, I am Jose.

But I have a letter here describing you as tall, dashing,

handsome, powerful-- You know, my Uncle Pancho--

sometimes he gets flowery with his letters.

Oh, I see.

Your Honor, could I have a private talk with you?

Why certainly.

Will you excuse us, señorita?

Isn't she beautiful, Your Honor?

If she would only talk intelligent.

Well, have you given her a chance?

Ah, poor thing.

She believes everything I say.

Say, Your Honor, when will you be in Arroyo?

Well, under the conditions, in about four days.

Why, that's good because it gives me plenty of time to go

and testify.

That's fine.

Good day.

Good day, Your Honor!

Good morning, Sheriff.

Howdy, Pancho.

Where's Cisco?

Well, he ain't been around yet.

What are you breathing so hard for?

'Cause I'm happy.

I just got a letter from my sobrino-- nephew-- and he's

coming here for the trial!

Well, good.

With his testimony, McGraw won't have a ghost of a chance.

He'll hang for sure.

Did he say when the judge would get here?

Yes, in a couple days.

Oh, a couple of days?

I must spend all that time with a nephew who will drive me

crazy.

The kid's all right, Pancho.

You just don't understand him.

Yeah, but he ain't your nephew.

You hear that, McGraw?

The kid's riding in to swear he saw you kill that miner.

Ain't much for conversation, are you?

Won't be easy, but we've got to do it.

He's the only one that knows where that gold is hid.

Ah, we shouldn't have any trouble with the nephew.

Jake and I will take care of him.

That isn't what's worrying me.

In order to spring McGraw, I've got to make them think that I'm

the real judge.

Say, that's a neat trick!

You just see the kid doesn't get to town.

I'm depending on that.

He might have seen me at the mine, too.

Leave it to us.

Come on, Jake.

(laughs) Jose spelled "cat" with a "k".

Sheriff Brady?

That's right.

What can I do for you?

I'm Judge Watkins.

I understand you're holding a man for trial on the suspicion

of murder.

Judge Watkins, we didn't think you'd get here this soon.

My nephew wrote us and said you wouldn't be here for a

couple or two days.

My schedule has been changed.

I'm due at the country seat for a prolonged session.

So I'll have to clean up this trial immediately.

But, Judge, our star witness isn't here-- the man who saw the

actual shooting.

Where is he?

How long will it take to get him here?

Well, he said he'd maybe leave tomorrow, if he don't

change up his mind.

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't wait that long.

And just how long can you wait?

Well, in this case, I might be willing to hold trial anytime

today, so long as I'm able to leave for the county seat before

sundown.

We'll have the witness here before then.

Come on, Pancho.

(banging pots musically) Well, what do you know?

There's our pigeon there right now, just waiting for us.

Come on.

(gunshots continue) Come on, we can't let him get

away.

Cisco, two men shoot at me!

It's Cisco, let's go!

Pancho, get him back to town in a hurry.

I'm going after those men.

He told us to go back to town in a hurry-- what for?

The judge is waiting for the trial.

Well, that can't be.

He told me.

Never mind what he told you.

The judge is waiting for the trial.

Come on, let's went, ándale.

All right, McGraw, eat heartily.

You'll need it.

If they don't bring that witness back pretty soon, I'm

afraid I'll have to hold court without him.

That means you'd have to let McGraw go for lack of evidence.

Yes, you're right Sheriff.

That's the law.

Well, we still have some time left.

Maybe they'll get here before you start the trial.

It's Pancho!

And he has the star witness with him.

Good work, Pancho.

You're just in time.

The judge couldn't wait much longer.

Is that the judge?

Si, and it's been very nice of you to wait.

This is my nephew, Jose.

But that is not Judge Watkins.

Not the Judge Watkins I talked to in Burro Flats.

But I have seen him before.

I wonder where it was...

You must be mistaken.

And now if we hurry, we can finish this trial in time for me

to get to the county seat.

I didn't see him in Burro Flats.

I didn't see here.

I wonder where...

it must have been-- Now I remember!

You were with the man who shot the miner!

We'll never get him now.

Look, here comes Cisco.

He'll know what to do.

He should have only been here sooner so he could catch that

man.

Well, I lost them in the hills.

I tried to stop the man that was inside, but he got away too.

Who got away?

The judge that wasn't the judge.

He was with the hombre who shot the miner at the mine.

Jose saw him.

It was a trick.

I thought so.

Pancho, take Jose to the hotel and take good care of him.

He's in danger.

Vamanos.

Is McGraw still here?

Had me worried there for a minute, Cisco.

Don't you think it would have been wiser to put Jose up in my

quarters?

That hotel isn't any too safe, for my way of thinking.

Pancho's there with him.

And he's like a mother hen.

Why, he's prouder of that nephew of his than anything else in the

world.

You'd never guess it, the way they're always picking at each

other.

Ah, don't let that fool you, amigo.

The affection runs very deep there.

Say, any news of the judge?

He should be here by tomorrow.

I'll be mighty glad when this trial is over.

I'm getting mighty sick of looking at that face over there.

They'll be expecting us to attack the kid.

That should make it easy.

Yeah, while we are shooting it out at the hotel, you snatch

McGraw right under the Sheriff's nose.

That's not a bad idea at all.

Who said it was a bad idea?

And Joe?

What?

If you should happen to hit that star witness, you know he'd

never be able to testify.

By the way, where's Jake?

Waiting for us at the edge of the town.

All right, let's go.

Uncle Pancho?

Yeah?

I'm big enough to take care of myself.

Big enough to take of yourself?

With all those stories you've been telling the señoritas,

you're commencing to believe them yourself.

And Jose, you say those banditos were just playing with you, huh?

Ah, they won't do nothing, Uncle Pancho, as long as we're

together.

Yeah, as long as we're together, you stay right by me

then.

Uncle, how about going for-- for a nice walk in the fresh

air?

You want to go for a nice walk in the fresh air?

The air here smells just like any other kind of air.

I'm gonna stay right here.

How about a couple of tortillas?

A couple of tortillas, eh?

Well, maybe.

But as long as you're with me, you stay near me.

Get behind the barrel.

(gunshots continue) It may be a trick.

You stay here and watch him.

All right, Cisco.

I thought you were gonna stay in your room?

It wasn't his fault, Cisco.

I asked him to go for a little walk.

Don't believe him.

It was my fault.

It doesn't matter.

We've got to take care of these gunmen.

They may be the ones that got away the other day.

Hey, we better get out of here.

That's strange.

They ran away without even shooting back.

Let's get them before they get away, Cisco.

That's exactly what they want us to do, Pancho.

You mean it's a trick?

If anything happens to the Sheriff, I'll never forgive

myself.

What happened, Sheriff?

(groans) Oh, my head.

You were right, Cisco.

It was a trick.

The minute you left, someone jumped me and let McGraw out.

Let's be thankful they didn't kill you.

Well, looks like you made a trip for nothing, Jose.

Let's not give up so easy, Sheriff.

After all, the prisoner didn't disappear out of thin air.

That's right, Sheriff.

They must be hiding around here somewheres.

We got him once, and we'll do it again.

Right, Cisco?

We'll get a posse together and track 'em down.

Yeah, but we don't know which way to go.

Don't worry, there's a saying that the criminal always returns

to the scene of the crime.

Oh, shut up.

You think you know everything.

You think you know more than Cisco and Pancho and the

Sheriff, and you don't even know something.

Wait a minute, Pancho.

What he said gives me an idea.

It does?

Hey, keep your mouth quiet!

What is it, Cisco?

Never mind the posse, Sheriff.

Come on, Pancho.

But what is it, Cisco?

I have a hunch.

I'll explain to you later.

Take good care of Jose, eh?

I'll care for him just like you would, Pancho.

Now I have an Uncle Sheriff.

What are you aiming to do now?

They'll be searching the hills for us.

Don't forget, we've got a little unfinished business at

the mine.

You mean where we shut down that miner?

The gold, the gold, don't you remember?

Why do you think we went through all this trouble to spring

McGraw?

He isn't very good company, you know.

All right, McGraw, lead us to it.

You go with him.

See that you get it all.

Joe, stand guard.

Right.

I'm gonna look over there.

This time we'll make sure nobody sees us.

Pancho, look over there.

They won't be here long.

Take a rope with you.

This is only one of them, Cisco.

The others must be inside the mine.

Yeah.

Hey, Pancho, you remember what we did in Sonora?

Sure, I remember.

Good.

McGraw!

(laughs) And now I'm gonna tie them up

in a nice little package for the Sheriff.

It was a fine trial, Judge, a fine trial.

Well, thank you, Sheriff.

That's very kind of you.

But we must give credit where credit is due.

If it weren't for a certain person, I'm afraid we'd never

have gotten that jury to convict the killer and his gang.

You mean Cisco and Pancho?

No, I mean Jose.

His testimony was flawless.

This is a growing land.

We need young men of his caliber.

Well now, gentlemen, if you'll excuse me, I'll be going.

Good-bye.

Bye!

Nice work, Jose.

Ah, Sheriff, that's nothing.

But you got to give the credit to my Uncle Pancho.

Well, it's good to see that Cisco and Pancho have such a

fine boy riding with them.

You want to be thinking about what the judge said, too.

You know, we can use settlers like you around here.

Settlers?

I'm not much for settling down here, Sheriff.

No, he's a regular little jumping bean.

He's a chip off of the old blockhead.

Oh, Pancho!

Oh, Cisco!

(laughter) Good-bye, amigos!

See you soon, ha!
