Here's adventure.

Here's romance.

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

"The Cisco Kid."

How much are those?

$1.25.

$1.25.

Uno, dos...

Changes.

Thank you.

Morning, Mr. Hanley.

Morning, Ruth.

You're looking very pretty this morning.

My name's Jack, if you don't mind.

Thank you, Jack.

Or would you rather I change it to Whitey?

Oh, I see the gay caballero wants to change his name to win

the beautiful señorita, huh?

To Whitey Thompson, for example.

That's not funny, Jack.

Whitey Thompson, Whitey Thompson.

That jailbird's out, he's free and he's coming here.

You mean that young fellow Cisco and I catch around here?

That's right, five years ago.

Armed robbery.

He's coming back here?

He'll be here this morning.

This morning?

That's right.

Look, Ruthie, I don't know what this Thompson fellow

means to you.

But I'm here to tell you, he won't be around town long.

What do you mean?

This town don't cater to jailbirds.

If he's not gone within 24 hours, I'll run him

out of town myself.

Why don't you give this Whitey Thompson a chance?

Shut up, Pancho.

Ruthie, try to understand, I'm doing this for your own

good.

I understand, all right.

I understand you're jealous.

Jealous.

Maybe I am.

But don't say I didn't warn you.

I know what's a matter, he jealous, this fella.

Let's see, I got this and that one.

One, two, three, and then...

Oh, I got one more thing I gotta do.

I gotta tell Cisco this Whitey Thompson is out of jail.

Hey, Pancho, you forgot your groceries.

You keep them there and I come back.

Cisco, I don't got pretty good news for you.

What's the matter, Pancho?

Where are the matches, the bullets and the supplies?

Never mind the supplies, I got a big surprise for you,

mister.

Surprise for me, what?

Cisco, there's a man coming this way that you sent away,

and he don't like us anyway.

But, Pancho, I don't understand you.

You never ran away from anybody before.

What are you worried about?

Whitey Thompson.

You remember Whitey Thompson?

Whitey Thompson, oh, yes.

His stretch in prison is about over by now.

He's free, he's out, Cisco.

You know, I don't like that fellow, he's got a bad temper.

Eh, maybe he outgrew his temper.

Maybe the thing outgrew him, Cisco, because he's gonna

get into lots of trouble.

There's a fellow in this town is gonna run him out of town.

Well, in that case, Pancho, we ought to be in town

before he gets there.

Come on.

That's what I think.

Howdy, Ford, it's been a long time.

Not long enough, I guess.

You still know where to write to me.

What do you want, Muley?

I need money.

You got your money five years ago, you're safe enough.

I ain't safe no more.

Whitey is out, and he's looking for me, that's for sure.

That, my friend, is the chance you took.

That's the chance I took.

I took the chances, Whitey took the rap.

You took the money.

Only half.

And I set up your alibi for you, remember?

An alibi that's kept you safe for five years to enjoy

that money.

An alibi that's not worth much any more.

An alibi won't work with Whitey, you know that.

I need money.

I gotta get so far away that Whitey will never find me,

and you gotta give it to me.

Let go of me, you baboon, you can't get any money

out of me that way.

You gotta give me that money, Ford.

I said, let go.

That's better.

Now you listen to me.

You meet me here tomorrow.

And you get this.

If I give you any money at all, it's because I decided to help

out an old friend, you savvy?

Sure.

Sure, I'm savvy, boss.

Good.

Hey, Pancho.

Hmm?

That man looks like a professional killer to me.

You think he's looking for Whitey, Cisco?

Maybe.

Or maybe he's running away from him.

Let's get to town and find out, come on.

Andale.

What are you looking for, Ruthie?

Uncle Wilson, I didn't know you were here?

I came in the back door.

There's less dust on that side.

Expecting someone?

Whitey's coming home.

Home?

I didn't know he had one.

Oh, Uncle Wilson, I know you don't like him.

But for my sake, please try to be nice to him.

After all, this here is his hometown and some people

will be glad to see him.

You might find out different, child.

He's not the same man you fell in love with anymore.

He served five years in prison for a robbery he confessed to.

But he'll go straight now.

I know he will.

I want the best for you, child, you know that.

Even if Whitey does go straight, he's a marked man

here in your hometown.

He couldn't make you happy.

People wouldn't let him.

Don't forget, he's not the only man in the world.

I know someone else that loves you very much.

If you mean Jack Hanley...

Why, he's not so bad, is he?

He doesn't work.

Anyone can be without a job.

That's not the real reason, now is it?

No.

Oh, Jack is all right.

But, Uncle Wilson, he just isn't for me.

Welcome home, Whitey.

You grew up, didn't you?

Good you see you back, Whitey.

Thank you, Mr. Ford.

I hope I'm glad to be back.

Now, what would that mean?

Well, that kind of depends on a lot of things.

If it's Ruthie here you're worried about, I think--

Suppose we let her speak for herself.

Yeah, why not?

Well, there might be some other people interested, Mr. Ford.

What are you doing here, Thompson?

I don't have to answer your questions.

Expect to come back here and pick up where you left off?

What do you mean, Jack?

Ruthie, I didn't ask you to wait for me.

And I didn't claim I was innocent.

That's right, Whitey.

I made my mistake and I paid for it.

And as far as this hombre's concerned, I don't even

wanna know him.

What's the matter, jailbird?

Ain't she worth fighting for?

There goes your hero.

What do you think of him?

You were pretty rough on him, Jack.

She had her heart set on marrying him.

You think that was rough?

Stick around.

Hey, Whitey, wait a minute.

Somebody said my hat don't look so good.

This one ain't much better.

A little bit, I guess.

I'd say it was about a toss-up.

Give me back my hat, Hanley.

All right, Mr. Thompson.

All right.

You get out of town, jailbird, and you stay out.

Looks like somebody's gonna have trouble, Cisco.

You're right, Pancho.

And it looks as if he's going to need help.

We better buy him a hat first, huh?

Wait a minute, Whitey.

What do you want, Cisco?

I want to congratulate you.

On what?

Getting out of prison?

No, for keeping out of trouble.

That took a lot of courage.

Courage.

I'm afraid the folks around here will have another name for it.

I'm afraid you're right, son.

This town doesn't cotton very much to--

Jailbirds, go ahead and say it.

Hold up your horses, Mr. Whitey, nobody never

mentioned jailbirds, only you.

So just relapse a minute.

We take you inside and buy you a new hat from the señorita.

It'll be a good one too.

I'm afraid Hanley was right.

I guess I don't belong around here anymore.

Suppose you had a job here?

A job?

Who'd give me job?

Well, Whitey, I'd be happy to give you a chance

to prove yourself.

If you really want one.

Thanks a lot, Mr. Ford, but I'm afraid I'll have to say no.

You see, Cisco, I didn't come back here looking for a job.

I'm looking for a man, and the man I'm looking for won't be

foolish enough to hang around here and wait for me.

I just stopped by to say hello to Ruthie.

Looks like I might as well skip that too.

What's the matter with him, Uncle Wilson?

Why didn't he fight?

Being in prison makes a man cautious, mighty cautious.

I can't stand it.

Hello, Cisco, Pancho.

You been doing some pretty hard work on this old shack.

It look pretty good.

Nice work, Whitey.

You haven't seen anything yet.

Come on inside and have a look.

Cisco, I'm gonna wait out here for you, huh?

All right, Pancho.

There was nothing here but weeds and lizards when

I started.

Whitey, why are you staying around here instead of in town?

Is that what you came to find out?

That's right.

Who told you where I've been staying.

Ruth told me.

How is she?

Eh, she's worried.

Well, Cisco, I guess you probably guessed by now that

I'm on the trail of that missing loot.

The money from the stagecoach you robbed?

And when I find out who's got it, I'll know who

my real boss was.

There's only one hitch.

What do you mean, one hitch?

Well, I've got to be sure.

I've got to catch him red-handed.

That's your final word?

That's my final word.

You get no money.

That came from over the ridge.

Wait, two and then one.

That's the same signal we used in the robbery five years ago.

We?

Who's we?

Muley.

He's the man I've been looking for, and he's right

up that hill, he's got to be.

You should've given me that money, Ford.

That was the signal that we used five years ago.

You wouldn't know about that, would you?

Whitey would.

Whitey?

Yeah.

He lives in an old shack just over that ridge.

He heard that signal and he'll come a-running.

When he does, you can tell him your story.

Tell it to him in your own words.

Wouldn't it have been smarter, Ford, to have given me

that money?

Don't be an idiot.

Whitey won't believe anything I say with a gun on me.

I think he'll believe it.

When he finds out that it was dear Ruthie's uncle was the

coyote that sent him to jail for five years...

five long years while you lived high on that money.

He's gonna take those fancy clothes of yours, Ford,

and make a shroud out of 'em.

(gunshot firing) It's Muley, all right.

But somebody made sure he wouldn't tell me anything.

Did he have other enemies?

Around here, no.

He was from up North.

Nobody else in town even knew him, except maybe...

Except who?

That's what I'm gonna find out now.

Wait a minute, where are you going?

I'm gonna track down whoever killed Muley.

You wanna come along, you're welcome.

But I don't need help anymore.

That's where you're wrong.

You better be careful, you're gonna need lots of help.

I've been careful long enough.

You're not gonna stop me now that I've got him.

Who you got, what's his name?

I don't know, but I'll find out in a hurry, and when I do--

Yes, and when you do, you may kill somebody.

You may even kill the wrong man.

Now whoever killed Muley here, he did it for a purpose.

He wanted to make it look like you did it.

That's right.

He wanted to frame you.

He did it once, he'll do it again.

What do you wanna do?

Pancho and I are going to town.

You go back to your cabin.

If my plan works out all right, I'll be back here tomorrow

to see you.

In the meantime, you stay in the cabin.

Can I depend on that?

Sure, I'll wait.

Then I have your word for it.

You sure do.

All right, Pancho, let's go.

Cisco, you got that look in your eye again.

I know what that look means, that means trouble.

That means, Pancho, here's trouble.

Trouble, this is Pancho.

I think we meet again.

Well, Cisco, we meet before, we can meet again, huh?

How smart you are, Pancho.

Let's do it.

Let's went.

How are you and Ruthie getting along?

She can't see anything in me.

Of course not.

All she can see is Whitey Thompson.

I told her I was gonna run him out of town and I will.

Maybe I can help you.

How?

I heard something very interesting today.

Pancho was headed toward town with a gold shipment.

To get to town, he has to pass Whitey's shack.

Yeah?

Suppose something happens to him at that point?

Like what?

When you catch Whitey with the gold shipment, you bring

him in, he goes to jail.

Ruthie doesn't wait for him this time.

Perfect setup, huh?

That's right, if you've got nerve enough to try it.

I've got nerve enough.

But I'm not gonna do it.

I thought you hated Whitey.

I do.

Not half as much as I hate you.

(glass shattering) Cisco, I've been

waiting for you.

Now I can only stay here a minute, Whitey.

I hope to get this straight the first time.

The banker in town is a very good friend of mine.

He's having a gold shipment coming in this afternoon.

But instead of the real rider, Pancho will carry the shipment.

A phony shipment, huh?

No, it's going to be real.

Now Pancho will ride nearby here.

When he gets to a certain spot on the road, he's gonna stop.

And then he's going to pretend he's going to sleep.

Good luck, Cisco.

Thanks, kid.

Hey, Loco, we are here.

I guess you know better than Pancho, huh?

It's a good thing one of us keeps the eye open, huh?

You know something more?

We are here a half-hour too early.

(snoring) (snoring continues)

(horse approaching) (snoring)

Whitey!

Hey, Pancho!

(snoring) Where is that gold shipment?

I saw you take it out of the saddlebag.

I have nothing to say.

You'll talk or you'll go back to jail.

Whitey, what happened?

It's no use, Miss Ruth.

He will not talk to us either.

The gold shipment disappeared out of Pancho's saddlebags,

and Whitey was the only one there at that time.

I was afraid of that.

I hate to see a kid go so wrong.

Yes, I can almost believe that too.

Cisco, see you took what you took and now you won't tell

us what you didn't took.

Whitey, for my sake, please tell them where the money is.

Believe me, Ruth.

I didn't take the money.

You remember when you caught me five years ago, Cisco?

You couldn't find the money then either.

That's right.

Well, the same fellow that got the money then, got the gold

shipment today.

Who is he, Whitey?

I don't know for sure.

But he left this calling card on the saddlebags.

Uncle Wilson.

That's right, Uncle Wilson.

Now get over by that desk.

I'm sorry I broke your window.

All right, get up.

I'm so glad you came back for your groceries.

I'm sorry you have to leave town.

Yes, I'm leaving town and Cisco leaving town, but Whitey,

he ain't leaving town.

Well, Whitey, I wouldn't have thought so a week ago.

Looks like you're staying and I'm the one who's

leaving town.

I wish you'd change your mind and stick around a while, Jack.

No, I better go.

Good luck to you.

Thanks.

Ruthie, Pancho, Cisco.

See you, amigo.

Good luck, Jack.

He's all right.

But he sure had it in for me for a while.

He just had to learn it the hard way, that every man

is your brother.

I know somebody who's not my brother.

Who?

My sister.

Oh, Pancho.

Oh, Cisco.

(laughing) Well, this is where

we leave you, amigos!

But we'll be back soon.

Look for us!

(laughing)
