Here's adventure!

Here's romance!

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

"The Cisco Kid."

(gunshots) (gunshots)

(gunshots) Say, thanks a lot.

You're the Cisco Kid.

That's right.

I've heard that you help people.

Need help, Señorita?

Lots of it.

I'm Celia Adams.

My father runs the hotel in Padero.

Padero?

But I thought that was a ghost town.

Well, it is, almost.

When the mines petered out, everyone left town except those

that couldn't afford to go.

So, Dad stayed on and tried to help them out, make a living.

How?

With his hobby, making things from petrified wood, like this.

Hmm.

That's very fine work.

A shopkeeper in Tucson offered to buy all we could

make.

Well, everybody started digging for petrified wood and Dad set

up a workshop in the hotel, where we all worked.

We shipped the things out and money began rolling in again.

Then bandits held up our wagon and stole our last three

shipments.

Did they get away, Cisco?

Yes, Pancho.

Better luck next time.

Miss Adams, this is Pancho, my partner.

Pleased to meet you, Pancho.

How do you do, Señorita?

Pancho, you'd better drive Miss Adams into town.

I'll take your horse.

The pleasure belong to me.

We go this way, huh?

Go on!

Celia.

Why did you take the wagon out of town?

I wanted to learn if the bandits knew exactly when our

wagon leaves town, Dad.

They do.

Bandits tried to hold you up?

Yes, but Pancho and Cisco scared them off.

Cisco.

The Cisco Kid?

That's him and I'm Pancho.

I hate to say this, Mr. Adams, but it looks like

someone in Padero always informs the bandits when one of your

wagons leaves for Tucson.

Seems that way for sure.

Seems too like we ought to give up and leave Padero for good.

Oh, no, Dad.

Leave town, Mr. Adams?

Well, what would everybody do?

It's no use.

This letter's from the buyer in Tucson.

He said if we can't get our next shipment to Tucson, he's

finished with us.

You have a shipment ready to go?

Tomorrow.

Pancho and I will ride guard on it.

I'd like to go along too.

All right.

We need all the help we can get.

Why should bandits steal petrified wood?

That is something we can't figure out.

Oh, Cisco.

I hope you make it, Cisco.

It means an awful lot to people here.

We'll try out best, miss.

You know, I think I figured out how the outlaws know when a

shipment is leaving town.

You have?

I'm not so sure, but, when we were riding up yesterday, I

noticed black smoke rising from someplace in town.

That could be the signal.

Who could be sending it?

I don't know yet.

Cisco, from the barn, it looked like the hotel's on fire.

I see the smoke coming out of the smokestack.

Hey, amigo.

You have more smoke than fire.

Happens that way every morning.

You ready to leave for Tucson?

As soon as we load the wagon.

Well, I guess I'd better saddle up, huh?

Right.

Right.

We need five minutes.

This fuse is long enough, isn't it?

Sure.

(explosion) Whoa!

It sounded like the whole town blew up.

Most of the folks are still in bed.

Turn around and follow us back to town.

Get 'em up.

Thanks for the boxes again, as usual, Pop.

The explosion wasn't in town?

No, north of town.

Probably in the old mine.

What a relief.

We thought you were all dead.

You did a fine job of riding guard.

The bandits got our shipment the minute you rode off and left me

alone.

The bandits set off that explosion.

They tricked us!

Yes, but if you'd have stayed with me, they'd have never got

our shipment.

It was you that said that the town had blown up, remember?

We're finished, folks, for good.

Don't quit now, Dad, please.

This shipment was our last chance, and we lost it.

That means the Tucson buyer is finished with us.

We'll find another buyer.

Where?

Right here.

I owe you folks a lot.

I'll buy everything they make.

You mean you borrowed money from these people, you owe them

a lot?

No.

No, but I was sick for quite a while and my doctor advised me

if I wanted to live, I should come out here.

That's silly.

Everybody wanna live.

I didn't.

But these folks were so wonderful to me, I found out it

was worthwhile after all.

Oh, well, then, you think you own them your life, huh?

That's right.

And to show my-- well, my appreciation, I'll buy

everything they make.

What about the bandits?

Well, suppose I pay for every shipment when it reaches Tucson?

It's a deal!

Now, don't be too hopeful, folks, we're still in the same

trouble.

No, I'll get your shipment through, no matter what happens

on the way.

I'll go for that.

Back to work, everybody.

Miss Adams, does anyone in town have any blasting powder?

No one, Cisco.

There was some left in the mine when it shut down.

I just came from the mine.

I was looking for the kegs of powder that were left there.

They're gone.

Been gone a long time from the looks of things.

If you'll excuse me, Miss Adams, Pancho's waiting

for me.

Oh, there you are, Pancho.

Ready to go to work?

What kind of work you gonna do, Cisco?

Well, first of all, we'll have to find out where the

explosion came from.

And, after that?

After that, we'll see.

Maybe we can find out where the smoke came from.

All right, we'll find out where the explosion come from,

where the smoke come from and...

that will do no good.

I'm afraid you're right, Pancho.

But, we'll have to do it anyway.

Maybe in the meantime, I can think of something else.

Come on.

You can think of something else.

Cisco, you think maybe we was out on the road with the wagon,

somebody set up that explosion?

Maybe.

What do you mean maybe?

It came from the town, didn't it?

Pancho, they could've lit a long fuse and timed it so it

would go off when we were out of town.

Oh, I see.

It could've been Mr. Adams, Mr. Blount, or you or me, eh?

No, it couldn't be me.

Are you sure?

Sure, I'm sure!

Where we go now?

I think we'd better take a ride over to the dynamite shack.

Come on.

Well, I guess we can't find out what's in there.

Why don't you shoot the padlock off, Cisco?

Sure, and bring everybody in town down here to find out what

we're doing?

Maybe that's good.

Then I can find out what we're doing.

We're trying to get into that shed, that's all.

You know, Cisco?

I got an idea.

One time I bumped against a door with a big padlock like that and

all of the hinges fell off and the door opened.

That was once, Pancho.

Pancho, what happened?

You're wrong, Cisco, that was twice.

This must be the blasting powder Adams talked about.

What are you gonna do now, Cisco?

I'm trying to find out if this is the blasting powder.

Did you just say it was the blasting powder?

Yes, Pancho, but we must make sure.

Oh, Cisco, every time you want to find out something, when

you find out something, you want to find out something else.

And pretty soon you're gonna find out what a jail looks like.

It is the blasting powder, all right.

Hmm.

Well, now you find out, let's went.

Not yet, Pancho.

Why not?

You want to find out something else, huh?

That's right.

I want to find out if this powder has any connection with

the smoke signal.

Connection, connection.

Pretty soon you're gonna connect it with a lot of trouble, Cisco.

This is what makes the smoke signals.

Come on, Pancho.

What are you gonna do with this bucket of tar, Cisco?

Bandits tricked us, now we'll trick them.

Oh, I see.

The banditos will see the smoke, then they will come out to hold

up the wagon!

Right.

They'll be waiting for us.

Come on!

That Blount is sure smart.

The folks think he's trying to help them.

And all the time he's fixing to run them out of Padero.

And when they're gone, we'll use the powder to blast out

all that petrified wood.

Yeah.

The boss handed us this load right under the Cisco Kid's

nose.

What's up?

The smoke signal.

They must be making another shipment.

Come on, let's get out of here.

It worked.

Here they come.

Let's find out.

But, no shooting.

We don't know who they are.

Oh, they're gone.

I thought there was a fire.

It's the smoke signal for the bandits.

The bandits?

Cisco told me.

This is the signal to the Tucson road.

Let's find Cisco and ride out and see.

The bandits.

They must be heading for the hideout.

I'll follow you.

Don't see any horses.

Let's take a look inside.

Drop your gun, mister.

Take the girl inside.

Get over here.

Go on, sit down.

Why do you steal our things, only to smash them to pieces?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Come on, sit down.

He's out cold.

Tie him up when you're finished with her.

What, you're leaving?

Yeah, I'm gonna go get a wagon.

We gotta start taking the powder out of that shed.

All right.

Cisco, what we come back here again for?

Well, we lost those men.

The only thing we can do now is stay here and watch the

dynamite.

Why?

You think it's gonna blow up?

No, but if those were the bandits we were chasing, they'll

come back for the dynamite.

It's a simple deduction, Pancho.

That's all.

You're very smart, Cisco, how you find out their names?

Whose names?

Simple and deductions.

Oh, Pancho.

Oh, Pancho.

Pancho?

The big barrel is gone.

Yeah, it looks like Mr. Simply and Mr. Deduction

get here before we did, huh?

Yes, and they made a big powder trail.

We'll follow it to the hideout.

Whoa... hey, boss!

Give me a hand with this barrel.

It's heavy!

Never mind, I'll carry it.

Get the rig out of here.

Giddy-up.

You call that heavy?

Hey, come here.

No wonder you could carry this by yourself, there's a hole

in it.

All the powder leaked out.

Yeah, you left a trail of powder right to the cabin door.

Then, we'd better get out of here before somebody spots us.

The end of the trail.

Looks like nobody wasn't there, Cisco.

Be careful, Pancho.

Let's take it easy.

Miss Adams, where are the banditos?

One of them left a trail of powder here and they got scared

and left.

We must find that trail.

We must find Mr. Blount.

Pancho, go out and see if you can find Mr. Blount.

Bueno.

This is why they stole your shipment.

What is it?

A diamond.

Millions of years ago, this was part of a tree.

Then tremendous pressures and heat petrified the wood.

The same pressures and heat turned this to carbon, like

coal.

But, this piece was crystalized and became a diamond.

Diamond?

That's right.

It was wedged in the petrified bark.

Cisco, if this is a diamond, then we've got lots of them left

at the hotel.

We ran into lots of pieces that couldn't cut or grind properly.

We threw them into a corner of the workshop.

Why, we must have at least 50 of them.

That's good news.

Get his gun.

Tie him up.

The day I hit Padero, I bought an ashtray from your father.

I found a diamond embedded in the petrified wood.

Then I sent for the boys.

We started collecting your shipments.

Cisco, we'll be in town about noontime.

By that time, everybody'll be out of the hotel and in their

own home, having a noon meal or a nice siesta.

And we'll pick up those 50 beautiful diamonds, without

anybody being the wiser.

Come on, boys, let's go.

Are you cold, Cisco?

No, I'm just trying to get near the fire.

That I can see.

But, why?

We must warn the people in town.

How can we?

I don't know, but Cisco, he will figure it out.

What do you wanna do that for, Cisco?

I'm trying to light that powder trail outside.

Yeah, but why?

It leads to the powder shack in town.

It will warn the people.

See if you can get nearer to me.

Well, it's just about noon.

Everybody should be eating.

Let's go, boys.

We'll meet you in town.

(explosion) Let's get out of here.

There's someone in the hotel.

Too late-- let's go upstairs!

How are we gonna get out of here?

I don't know.

I'll think of something.

As long as we're up here, they can't get at us.

Wait a minute, Blount's one of them.

I don't think we can get to them, Cisco.

From that spot on the porch, they can cover the whole street.

What are you gonna do?

They fooled us with blasting powder.

We'll do the same to them.

How?

Get me an empty keg and a fuse.

I'll show you how.

We'll get the powder keg.

Come on, Pancho.

I don't understand you.

What are you fixing?

I'm making a slingshot.

Got a fuse?

Yes.

Get it.

Get that stake and put it in front of the dashboard.

Steak?

I'd rather have one in my stomach.

Put that fuse in there and light it.

Come on, Pancho, let's get our horses.

Cisco, we better went before that fuse is no longer than a

rabbit's tail.

Ready?

Now!

Get outta here!

Drop those guns.

You'll not need them in prison.

Let us out of here!

This place is gonna be blown to bits!

No, it will not.

There is no powder in that keg.

Cisco, I wish you would tell me something.

This is Mr. Blount.

But, which one is Mr. Simply and which one is Mr. Deduction?

Oh, Pancho!

Oh, Cisco!

Good-bye, amigos!

See you soon!

Ha!
