Here's adventure!

Here's romance!

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

The Cisco Kid!

Hey, Cisco.

Hey.

What it say?

"We can find you a wife.

Many beautiful women want to come west."

Good housekeeperses and good cooks.

Come inside for free-- Look at that big word, Cisco.

What you think it is?

Oh.

Free information.

Is that good?

Oh, I guess it's all right for anybody who wants a wife.

Come on, let's go.

My key, please.

I've been waiting for you, Susie.

I've been wanting to talk to you.

I'm sorry, Decker.

The Professor doesn't want us to be seen together.

We'd like a room please.

That ain't the real reason you're being so snooty.

Decker, we've been all through this before.

If you want to be friends, all right.

Nothing more than that.

You sure this is a big room?

The last time we had a little bit of a room, so little we had

to go outside to turn around.

I can talk you into changing your mind.

No, Decker.

I tell you I can and this time you're not going to get rid

of me.

Maybe I'll get rid of you, señor.

Get out of here.

Gladly, if you'll come with me.

Why, you-- That señorita must have

big muscles, eh?

Hey, Cisco, let's make up your mind.

Are you going up or are you coming down?

Going up, Pancho.

Cisco, you know, I think I'm gonna like this hotel.

It's nice and quiet.

Right, Pancho.

Very quiet.

The first time in a long distance.

Here's the room, Pancho.

Give me the key.

Here it is again, Cisco.

Here's what again?

More about that thing where they have wives for sale.

Oh, Pancho.

That's a very foolish idea.

You know, Cisco, there is a time when a man gets pretty

lonesome for his own mujer and they say these women are

really beautiful.

Yes.

It's a good thing for a man to have a wife around the house.

Around whose house?

You know, Cisco, I'm going to go down to this place and see

what they can do for a man like me.

Pancho.

You may need some pictures.

You don't have any.

Who said I didn't have no pictures?

Where?

I got dozens of them, Cisco.

Right here, huh?

Oh, it's you.

Yes.

What's this about you making friends with some stranger?

Did he tell you that?

Never mind who told me.

If Decker told you I made friends with anyone in this

town, he lies.

Don't you call me a-- Shut up.

I've warned you before.

Walls have ears.

I want you to stay here in your room.

This is the biggest job we've ever tried to pull and I don't

want it to go wrong.

Understand?

Yes, yes.

I understand.

See that you do.

I'm going back to the shop.

If I want you, I'll call for you.

Come on.

(locks door) So you didn't think I didn't

got no pictures, eh, Cisco, huh?

That was me when I was a little, little chamaco, little kid

like that.

Full of frijoles.

(both laugh) Hey, how you like that one?

I don't like it.

Why not?

It looks too much like you.

Wait a minute.

Here is one.

Now this is wonderful.

You know, Pancho, you look so nice and strong here.

The way you have your mustachio up and your eyes and the way

you comb your hair.

Oh, Pancho, that is the nicest picture I ever saw of you.

This way it doesn't look so good.

(laughs) Hey, Pancho, where are

you going?

You will see.

Holy smokers, this is Cisco's picture.

That don't mean no never mind.

Cisco's good-looking too.

What can I do for you?

How much it gonna cost to get myself a wife?

Not a cent.

It's absolutely free.

However, you have to have yourself a picture.

Oh, I got a picture.

We're having a special drawing here an hour from now.

Here's your number.

Better come around.

Don't worry.

I will be there.

By the way, which do you prefer?

Blondes or brunettes?

I like blondes.

Naturally.

Don't make any difference naturally.

I like blondes, I don't care how they get that way.

We want to show you men what we have in the way of

prospective wives.

We're going to draw a number out of a bowl and some lucky man

in this crowd is going to win in marriage the hand of

Miss Susan Marsh.

Come on out here, Susan.

Cisco, ain't that the señorita we see in the hotel?

No doubt about it, Pancho.

Let's find out what they'll do next.

And now for the drawing.

Let me have the bowl, will you, Ray?

Thank you.

My friend, would you be kind enough to reach into the bowl

and take out a number?

I thank you.

The winning number is number four.

Who has number four?

Cisco, number four.

That's my number!

This is your lucky day, Pancho.

Go up and get her.

No.

Cisco, I can't.

Why not?

I just can't.

But Pancho, why can't you?

Now, come, come, gentlemen.

Someone must have the lucky number four.

Now, who has the winning number four?

I guess the gentleman must be a little bit bashful.

Well, we can find out who he is.

Let me have those pictures, will you, Ray?

Here's number four.

And a very nice-looking gentleman indeed.

Ah, there you are, my friend.

Don't be bashful.

You're the winner!

Come on up.

A nice-looking gentleman, that's you.

That's you.

Me? What do you mean?

Well, you see, Cisco, I sent one of your pictures.

And if you don't get her now, I will lose her.

Go up there, Cisco, and then if you take her, maybe I can talk

her into marrying me, huh?

Pancho, how could you do a thing like that?

I don't know.

That was easy.

If it was easy, go on up there.

No.

You go there, please, huh?

Pancho.

All right.

But I wouldn't do this for anybody else.

Neither would I, Cisco.

Congratulations, my friend.

You've won the hand of the beautiful Miss Susan Marsh.

Here, you two, get off to one side and get better acquainted.

Just a minute, gentlemen.

There are lots more where Susan came from.

And you think you men would make good husbands for them.

We're having a picnic north of town tomorrow.

And we want everybody out there.

There's going to be more drawings and all you men will

get a chance to get yourself a beautiful bride.

You say you were born in the West?

No, I was born in the East.

Oh, the East.

I was East one time.

Good.

And then my folks moved to Denver.

Oh, Denver, Denver.

I was in Denver too.

Uh, then I went to school there.

And to school!

I been once there.

Pardon me.

Are you the Miss Susan Marsh registered at the hotel?

Yes, I am.

Could I have a few words with you?

Of course.

Would you excuse us?

Certainly.

Cisco, even when I want to get married, the sheriff,

he spoil everything.

Do you have a brother Ralph?

Yes, I do.

Has he been here?

Well, the suckers are all set up.

The sheriff is talking to the girl.

Take care of it.

What's the idea?

Sheriff, I don't know whether I saved your life or my own,

but one of us was meant to be a target.

Just the same, let's don't have any more shooting.

Drat it, that girl's gone.

You can come out now, Miss.

The sheriff is gone.

Is the sheriff a friend of yours?

Let us say he knows a member of my family.

Let's also change the subject.

This is the first real chance I've had to say thank you for

what you did at the hotel.

Ah, but señorita, anybody would have done that for you.

Maybe, but you're the one who did.

How long have you been looking for a wife?

How long have I-- Uh, not long.

Not long at all really.

I have to admit that this marriage idea didn't excite me

very much, but now I find I don't mind the thought at all.

Señorita, there was a little mistake.

You see, I wouldn't make a good husband.

I don't make enough money.

And I travel all the time.

I'm everywhere.

You deserve a much better man than I am.

I don't know where I'd find one, Cisco.

And I want you to know that I'm not unhappy

with our arrangement.

Not unhappy at all.

But, señorita!

Look what a mess you got me into.

You and your picture.

Not my picture, your picture.

All right, we'll have the picnic tomorrow afternoon.

Five miles north of town.

And if I'm not mistaken, practically everybody in this

burg will be there.

Why are we doing all this?

Why the picnic?

Well, now I can tell ya.

Most of the people in this town work for a small mining outfit

and today, the monthly payroll was deposited at the bank.

All in nice greenbacks.

Now, tomorrow afternoon the bank will be closed and, uh, with all

the folks out at the picnic...

Hey, it'll be just like opening a can of beans.

Professor, you're a genius.

But the payroll!

We'll be taking the wages of all these people.

They won't have money to live on.

Now ain't that just too bad.

But it is bad.

There will be whole families going hungry.

You can't do this, Professor.

Don't get so emotional, my dear.

We have our own welfare to think of.

I won't be a part of it.

Oh, yes you will.

You're staying with us all the way.

No. Not on this.

Would you like me to write a letter to a certain bank

in Chicago?

Better think about it.

Better think about what will happen to your brother if I do.

Cisco, wait.

I need your help.

Would you do me a favor?

Of course, señorita.

Anything.

Never mind.

I wonder what she was going to say.

I know what she was going to say, Cisco.

You do? What?

She was going to say she'd rather marry me than you.

Of course.

Say, Pancho, when you went to sign up for the wife,

are you sure they didn't ask you for money?

Sure I'm sure.

Something is troubling that girl.

We'll have to find out about it.

Come on.

Cisco, you always lose time.

And she likes me better than she do you.

What are you doing in my room?

Just wanna talk to you.

I've warned you before about talking to strangers.

What do you mean, strangers?

This is the man I'm going to marry, remember?

You arranged it.

Hey, you got a point there.

Maybe this romance has gone far enough.

I think we should put an end to it right now.

From now on, I'll make sure you don't leave this room.

Carl?

You stay out in the hall and see that she doesn't leave here.

Let me watch her.

Are you hard of hearing?

Cisco, I am sleepsy.

I think I'll go to bed.

Good idea for both of us, Pancho.

(crash) What's the matter, fellas?

Having some trouble?

(guitar playing) Anybody care to take me on?

You're too good for us.

How about you, bridegroom?

I don't mind.

Well, should we make it interesting?

Say, about, uh, $20?

I'm very sorry, señor.

But I never gamble.

I'm sorry, but I never do anything unless it is a gamble.

Oh, by the way, where's your bride?

I don't see her around.

(laughter) Everybody seems to be having

a good time at this picnic, eh, Cisco?

That's right, Pancho, everybody.

Except our friends.

They're leaving.

I think we better leave too.

Come on.

Ray, you better stay here and see that nobody comes

through this pass.

Why we stop here, Cisco?

I don't like the looks of that pass, Pancho.

You stay here until I call you.

Okay.

(horses whinny) You're missing a lot of fun

at the picnic.

You should be there.

Go ahead.

Pardon me.

Give me that gun.

Thank you.

Now go ahead.

(knocking on door) Well, you changed your mind

about coming along with us?

You know the answer to that.

Well, in that case, maybe I better leave you

here for the sheriff.

Tie her up, Carl.

Becker, go downstairs and keep the coast clear.

Too bad your friends can't help you.

They're busy at the picnic.

I'm sure you won't mind if we borrow your bag.

(footsteps approaching) You better get a move on.

The Cisco Kid just came into town.

Get out front and keep him away from here.

Miss Marsh?

Miss Marsh?

Holy smokers!

Who would tie up such a beautiful señorita?

We'll find out in a second, Pancho.

What happened?

The Professor's robbing the bank-- please stop him.

Don't worry, we will.

Come on, Pancho.

Pancho...

Pancho.

Keep them busy.

I'm going to see if there is a back door to this place.

Pancho.

I've got an idea.

You keep shooting and make it hot for them.

I'll keep shooting and make it hot.

What you going to do?

You'll see.

You throw this to me when I get to the other side, Pancho.

Cisco, this is a fine time to go fishing.

Keep them busy!

We should try and make it down that alley.

Not me-- come out from behind here and they'll blast us.

Cisco! Look!

I got a fish!

And I got the bait!

Well, I guess this is goodbye.

Maybe we'll meet again, señorita.

Miss Marsh, you're under arrest.

What for?

Well, she was part of the gang, wasn't she?

Marriage brokers, my eye.

I had to, Sheriff.

They were blackmailing me on account of my brother.

I found out all about that.

It was just a frame-up.

He's been cleared of all the charges.

I wish I could say the same for you.

You're still involved, you know.

But Sheriff, it was Susan who saved the payroll.

She told us about the robbery.

Maybe that does make a difference.

Don't worry about the bandits, I have them all locked

up in the bank. What?

Why didn't you take them to the sheriff's office?

If I lock 'em up in the sheriff's office,

they only get 10 years.

In the bank, they get 10 years plus interest.

Oh, Pancho.

(both laughing) Goodbye, amigos!

See you soon!

(laughing)
