Here's adventure.

Here's romance.

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

"The Cisco Kid."

Hi, Jeff.

Cisco, Pancho.

How are ya?

Fine.

It's been a long time-- I'll say it has.

Certainly glad you two showed up.

Yes, we almost didn't get here.

Yes, we were ambushed about four hours from here.

There's an organized gang behind the robbery of my

Express vault.

You suspect anyone, Jeff?

No, the law hasn't been able to give me any clue.

That's why I sent for you and Pancho.

I thought if anybody could figure this out, you two could.

(knocking) Hey, Tim, open up.

It's me, Donovan.

I've had a deputy on guard here 24 hours a day since

the last robbery.

(knocking) Funny he doesn't answer.

Hey, the safe drawer is unlocked.

There's Tim.

He's dead.

And every ounce of gold has been taken.

I better go find the sheriff and the doctor, huh?

Yes, you do that.

Say, Jeff, close the door a minute here.

That's funny, there are no marks on the vault.

This door hasn't been forced open.

This is the third time in the past few weeks that the door's

been opened without the use of tools or explosives.

What's the excitement, Doctor?

The Express vault has been robbed again and

the guard murdered.

Found the doctor, but the sheriff is out of town.

In the vault, Doctor.

I heard what happened, Jeff.

Is there anything I can do?

No thanks, Henry.

The only thing that can help me now is a return of the gold

and proof of who killed Tim.

This is the Cisco Kid and Pancho, Henry Blake.

How do you do, Mr. Blake?

How do you do, gentlemen?

Very glad to know you.

The blow on the head only knocked him out.

It didn't cause death.

The cause of it was plain enough, Doctor.

Yes.

I still can't understand it.

I'm the only one who had the combination, and Tim had orders

not to open up to strangers.

That's a laugh.

Now I'll tell you what we think.

And we think you robbed your own vault.

Yeah, no one else could get into it.

Certainly.

We had gold in there.

And somebody ought to--- Wait a minute, boys!

Gentlemen, gentlemen.

This is a matter for the law to decide.

Now go on out, both of you.

Andale.

I don't trust them, Cisco.

They're a couple of mean hombres.

I'm gonna keep an eye on them.

You know they robbed that office again?

And I think old Donovan stole his own gold.

Let's handle this our own way.

That's a good idea.

Get your rope.

What I told you, Cisco?

I don't trust those fellows.

They're coming this way and one of them has got a rope.

I don't think there's any cause for alarm.

I'm for putting him away where he won't steal

from nobody else.

Open up in there!

We want Donovan!

The sheriff isn't here, and we're making a citizens arrest.

Now open up!

They're within their rights, Cisco.

They can take Jeff and lock him up.

And then with a rope, he'll never get to jail.

You better get out of town for a while.

Cisco's right, you better hurry.

Open up in there!

I'll ride to the old stolen cabin.

I can hide out there.

Good.

You wait there until you hear from us.

All right.

Open up in there!

We said open up!

You don't let us in, we're gonna shoot the lock off!

You better let them in, Pancho.

Where's Donovan?

We want him.

He's not here.

You're lying!

The bird in the hand has flown to another bush.

They're telling the truth, Mike.

Well, then they helped him get away.

Where is he?

Come on!

Not with a gun.

Only with a fist.

What's going on here?

Break it up!

Donovan robbed his own vault again last night.

And he killed Tim.

And these two helped him get away.

There was no proof that he was guilty.

They would have stretched his neck.

I'm sure they acted for the best, Sheriff.

This is the Cisco Kid and his friend, Pancho.

Oh, I've heard a lot about you fellas.

Glad to know you.

I hope you'll stay in town until this matter is cleared up.

We intend to, Sheriff.

As long as I'm sheriff of this town, there'll be

no mob rule.

Donovan will be brought back to stand any investigation

necessary.

Phil, Mike, you seem to have started this thing.

You better be on your way.

When we're ready for the inquest,

I'll let you know, Henry.

You'll be needed.

Fine, I'll be ready.

You think that you and Pancho could find Donovan, Cisco?

Yes.

Will you ride out and bring him in?

I'll see after things here.

We'll be glad to, Sheriff.

Come on, Pancho, let's go.

He's in there all right.

Yeah, that's his horse.

Reach, Donovan, and don't turn around.

Now, if you wanna stay alive, you'll do like I say.

(horses approaching) See who that is.

The Cisco Kid and his pal.

What do you want to do?

Open up on them.

And you get over to that window and yell out what I tell you to.

(gun cocking) (gunshot firing)

Hey, Donovan!

It's Cisco and Pancho!

Tell them you won't be taken alive.

Yell it.

I won't be taken alive!

Tell them to go back to town.

You don't want to kill them.

Go on back to town, Cisco.

I don't want to have to shoot you.

Cisco, he don't talk like a very innocent man.

Come out, Jeff.

We want to talk to you.

You know you can trust us.

Cisco, he must be loco!

Hey, Pancho, I'm going to sneak around the cabin.

Maybe I can get him.

Rifle's empty.

We better get out of here.

You stay right where you are or we'll plug you.

Don't touch that rifle, Donovan!

Get back, get back.

All right, Pancho.

Come on in.

Why were you shooting at us?

I didn't do it.

Two masked men held me up and forced me to talk to you

like that.

One of 'em took my rifle and fired at you.

They just ran to the back door.

Yeah, you're gonna have to do a lot of explaining.

I just explained to Cisco.

How did they know you were here?

I don't know.

Pancho, I'm going to check out his story.

I'll meet you both in town.

Here.

Looks like he's fixin' to trail us.

Yeah, hold this box.

I'll soon take care of that.

You got him!

Let's get out of here.

Oh, so it's you two again.

Keep your hands in sight!

Who sent you to that cabin?

We haven't been to any cabin.

What do you mean?

I followed your trail from there.

Well, you're all mixed up.

We're on a surveying trip and the location is a secret.

We spotted you tracking us and we just thought we'd scare

you off.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't like to be a target.

You ride on ahead.

Go on.

Cisco, look-- a receipt for the gold deposit by the

Dugan Steel and Metal.

Well, it's for $100.

Cisco, I they yell pretty loud for such little amount.

I think so too, Pancho.

I'm positive they're mixed in these robberies.

Say, I found this behind the cabin.

Now, this is a piece of surveying equipment.

Survey-- Cisco, I'm sure they are surveyors because I see them

leave their office a few minutes ago.

You know something, Pancho-- What?

I think I know how they opened that vault.

Come on.

Say, Pancho, I'm gonna search Dugan's office before

the inquest.

Can you get that doctor away from the stairs?

Don't worry, Cisco, he's as good as gone.

Good.

Well, Doc, you know, it's about time for the inquest.

I guess we should be there.

No, no, no, I'm waiting here for someone.

And since I'm acting as coroner, why, nothing can be done

without me.

I know, Doc, but I don't feel pretty good.

I got pains all over, you know?

Where?

All-- I say, all over.

Maybe we should go to your office and examine us, huh?

I'll examine you right here.

Sit down.

Sit down?

I ain't tired, Doc-- Sit down, sit down

'til I examine you.

Cross your legs.

Cross my legs?

Yeah.

That way?

All right, now steady.

Yeah.

(chuckling) Why you do that for?

Well, I'm testing your reflexes.

But that doesn't affect us.

No, no, no, your reflexes.

Yeah.

See?

Your foot kicks up like that, that proves that you're

not crazy.

That's a good thing to know because sometimes I am

confused about that.

Now come on, open your mouth.

My mouth?

I ain't no horse.

You want to see how old I am?

I tell you.

No, no, I want you to open your mouth and say, "Ah."

Yeah, but I ain't no sheep.

I can't say, "Bah."

Do as I say.

Bah!

Fine, now stand up.

Yeah, but-- but I ain't tired.

Muchas gracias, but I ain't tired no more--

Wait a minute, wait a minute, I've got to check your heart.

Now, take a deep breath.

Oh, boy.

It's bad, bad.

Oh, that's very bad.

I'm sick?

Yeah... here.

What?

You listen.

A little telephone, huh?

Okay.

(ticking) Hey, all that tick-tocking

coming out of me?

Mm, it sure is.

You've got a very bad case of multiple prevaricate

of the aorta.

Multiple "prevarycary" of the aorta.

I don't know this man-- who he is?

Could be very serious.

Now, you might live to be 90, but meanwhile, you take care

and don't exert yourself.

Meanwhile, you take this powder and I'll look again on

you after the inquest.

So long.

"Prevacarious" of the aorta.

Hey!

Hey, Cisco, Cisco!

Hey, Cisco, Cisco!

Cisco?

Cisco, quick, Cisco!

Something terrible has happened, Cisco.

I ain't long for this world.

Oh, water, water.

Ay.

What's the matter with you, Pancho?

What happened to you?

(speaking gibberish) That's what the doctor

say I got.

I've been trying to keep him from seeing you, Cisco.

Oh, Pancho, you'll live all right.

See look, I wanna take a look at that surveying equipment.

Will you get that box over there?

No, no, I can't lift nothing heavy!

The doctor told me not to extort myself, Cisco.

I'll get it, all right.

Wait a minute.

"Prevacarious."

Oh, what is this thing, Cisco?

I'll show you, Pancho.

Here, put it right there.

Turn it around this way and take a look through that.

Take a look at me.

You get all the way by the window-- Oh!

You look so little, like a little peanut.

Pancho, this is a transit.

It works like a telescope.

Oh?

A telescope?

Wait a minute.

What's that?

Mm-hmm, that proves it.

The Dugans were at the cabin.

Now let's see if my idea works.

I'm gonna take this thing and put it over there on that

thing over there.

On the three legs?

That's right.

Get that right in there.

(mumbling) Now you tighten, a little more.

There you go, Cisco.

That's good enough.

Wait a minute.

What?

Wait a minute.

You want to look?

Open those curtains just a little more there.

Ah-ha, I was right, Pancho.

What do you mean?

Look, come take a look.

Here.

I'll hold the curtains here, you look.

Oh, Cisco, look!

I can see the numbers on the lock of the safe.

Mm-hmm.

That's right, Pancho.

That's how those Express robbers found the combination.

They watched through this transit and when Donovan opened

the safe, they put the numbers down.

All you have to do is have the Dugans arrested, huh?

Somebody else, too.

Who?

Either Blake or the doctor are mixed up in this.

Blake-- Donovan's friend?

They're the only ones besides ourselves that knew where

Jeff was hiding out.

Come on, let's go.

Now that you and Pancho are here, Cisco, we'll get started.

Will the coroner call the first witness?

Just a moment, Sheriff.

I have evidence that someone other than Donovan knew

the combination to the Express office vault.

If you move the inquest over there, I can prove it.

Some kind of a trick!

We all know Jeff's guilty.

According to the law, a man's innocent until proven guilty.

Sounds fair enough to me.

What do you say, Doctor?

Should we move over to the Express office?

So ordered.

All right, Cisco.

Let's have your story.

Sheriff, if you and Donovan will step into the vault with

me, I'll show you the secret of this combination.

Phil, you said it was a trick.

Maybe you'll be interested.

Will you please step in?

Sure.

Now, gentlemen, this rut over here works the tumblers.

If it's held back or fastened while the door is closed,

the dial has no effect on it whatsoever.

Of course then, you can open the door from the outside by

merely turning the handle.

It's very simple.

Now, this door is apparently closed tight.

But watch.

Ooh.

What's happened?

Something is wrong, Pancho!

Cisco-- Cisco, this is terrible, they can't get their

breathes in there, Cisco!

Why don't they open it?

Something must have gone wrong.

Strike a match.

Cisco, if those three men in there die, I'll hold

you responsible.

You try the terrible ones die but are the ones who--

Oh, shut up.

Well, amigos, I don't think we can open this vault without

the right combination.

Donovan's the only one who has it.

And he's inside.

Open the door, Cisco.

We'll all die in here!

Do something, Donovan.

You ought to know how to open this.

It's impossible, Phil.

If Cisco's theory don't work, we're done for.

Donovan?

Donovan, can you hear me?

Maybe if we shout out the combination?

I could shoot off a gun in here without being heard.

Well, Blake's got the combination.

He could open it.

Huh?

What?

Donovan?

Hey, Donovan!

Donovan!

A few more minutes, it'll be too late.

Open it, Blake.

What are you talking about?

How can I open it?

The rest of you get over there and keep your hands high.

Blake, you know the combination to that vault because I gave

it to you myself.

Now, if you think you're gonna let me brother die in there like

you did that night watchmen, you're loco.

It's getting mighty close in here, they better do

something quick.

(coughing) Now, I'm not playing games.

Open it.

Come on out, Phil.

Don't any of you make a move until we're in the clear.

There are your guilty men, Sheriff.

Including Blake over there.

Yeah, I know about Blake.

Yeah, and Mike said enough to convict all of them.

You know, I should put you two in jail for taking

such a chance.

We could have died in there.

(laughing) I had the combination

all the time, Sheriff.

Donovan gave it to me on the way over.

Well, with you two I might have suspected.

All right, Donovan, let's take these three over and put them in

those empty cells I've been saving.

On your feet.

Andale.

Come on.

Cisco, our little scheme worked pretty good, no?

Sure did, Pancho.

I better examine you again, Pancho,

and give you some more of the same medicine.

No, no, no, Doctor.

I don't want no medicine, but I feel-- I feel pretty good now.

Say, but tell me, what dose of this "forme prevacarious"...

What it mean?

A fake, Pancho, a fake.

A fake?

No, because my heart was tick-tocking all the time!

No, here.

Put these on again.

Put them in your ear.

Got it?

Now listen carefully.

(ticking) Oh, Cisco!

Oh, Pancho!

(laughing) Adios, until we see

you again, amigos!

Hasta la vista!
