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

"The Cisco Kid."

Warren: Come in.

You sent for me, Mr. Warren?

Yes, sit down, Manning.

I received a strange letter from a real estate broker

in Echo, a man by the name of Holbrook.

I don't know whether he's a crackpot or not.

Anyway, he's asked me to confirm rumors that we're extending our

railway into Echo.

That sounds like another phony land promotion, using

the railway as bait.

That's what the letter intimates.

Run up there and check into it.

Oh, here, you better take Holbrook's letter with you.

Thanks.

I've already advised him to expect you.

Yes, sir.

Driver, bring my bag to the hotel, please.

Here you are, Mr. Manning, third door to your right,

just down the hall.

Thanks.

Oh, by the way, is there a Mr. Blake staying here?

Why, yes, there is.

He's the last room to your right down the hall.

Thank you.

(knocking on door) Steve, how'd you make out?

What a question.

I'm wearing his clothes and I've got his credentials right here.

I knew I could depend on you.

Say, uh... I thought Holbrook was your confidential broker.

What made him write to the railroad?

I don't know.

I was just starting to unload when up jumped the devil.

How'd you find out about the letter?

I accidentally got my hands on the railroad's reply.

(chuckles) Some accident.

What do we do now, get rid of him?

Oh, no.

No, you're going to convince him that the railroad is extending

its line to Echo.

And that should make him the biggest sales booster for

the biggest land rush of the century.

All right, just leave him to me.

By the way, I didn't have time to get rid of Manning's body.

I better tell some of the boys to go down and bury him.

Good idea.

(door opens, then closes) Cisco, this is getting

too often.

All these signs for the last three miles say the same thing.

Only different.

I wonder what anybody wants with this land.

It's not even fit for grazing.

I think this Blake, he paint these signs for his own

displeasure.

Pancho, the word is "pleasure."

Well, I will tell him when I see him.

What you looking at, Cisco?

Looks like a man down there.

He's been choked to death.

And from the looks of things, thrown over that cliff.

Then why don't got no clothes on?

I don't know.

Hey, these don't make sense, Cisco.

Why do they have to undress him to kill him?

They didn't.

They killed him to undress him.

But why?

Say, look, those jaspers beat us to it, and the boss ain't

gonna like this.

Come on.

Maybe to take his clothes so they will look like him?

(horses approaching) Come on!

We better go to Echo and tell the sheriff about it.

Every time I stick my nose where it don't belong, somebody

wanna put a bullet in it.

How you think I gonna smell without a nose?

Like a bunch of lilacs.

(chuckles) Tell me, Mr. Holbrook,

if you don't mind, just how did you happen to find

out we were extending the railroad to Echo?

Well, a couple of months ago, a stranger named James Blake

dropped into my office.

He asked me to help him buy up a lot of land.

I did and I got it for him dirt cheap, too.

Do you mind telling me just how much you paid for it?

Well, I'm afraid that's a little confidential.

Yes, of course, I shouldn't have asked.

Uh...

How did you become suspicious of, um...

what'd you say his name was?

Blake.

Well, right after he bought up all that land, he started

the story that the railroad is coming through here.

Then he sold a few parcels to some friends of mine at mighty

fancy prices.

Beats me how he ever found out about our plans.

I thought we were keeping them our deepest secret.

But you can tell your client, Mr. Blake, that he's not gonna

hold up our railroad for any fancy prices.

I think I'll let you tell him that, Mr. Manning.

But there's one thing I'm going to tell him.

Yes, what's that?

That I was a blamed old fool for ever suspecting him.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

There is that man we chased, Pancho.

Well, why don't we chase him some more?

I'll take care of that gentleman.

You go tell the sheriff about the body.

The sheriff, me?!

But, but-- It was bad enough your

messing up that job, but did you have to come here to tell me

about it?

If those men trailed you-- But I told you we gave him

the slip.

What's the matter?

That hombre pulling up outside, he was one of them.

You lamebrain.

Beat it.

Hello.

Hello.

Is Mr. Holbrook in his office?

No, but I'm his daughter.

May I help you?

Are you sure he's not in?

Of course I'm sure.

Pardon me.

You can't go in there without being announced.

I'll be announced.

Don't worry.

You wish to see me?

No, I wish to see the man that just came in here.

You mean Mr. Smith?

I don't know his name, but I want to see him.

He just left.

Yeah, in a mighty big hurry, too.

(door closes) Hey, Pancho, did you see him?

Yeah, and I told him about the body.

I don't mean the sheriff.

I mean the man I was after.

(chuckles) Then you lost him again, eh?

Yes, he got away.

Huh, the next time you tell the sheriff and leave

the bad hombres to Pancho.

There is something very funny going on, Pancho.

You know, Cisco, it's a strange thing.

Wherever we go, there's always something funny going on.

We find a dead man with most of his clothes gone.

Then men attack us.

We follow one to the real estate office and he disappears.

Then a man in there gives us double-talk about him.

Well, maybe he's got a double tongue like a snake's.

That's what I am thinking, too.

Pancho, we're gonna get to the bottom of this.

Cisco, you can't do this.

Better we mind our own business, then we're gonna live longer.

Come on, Pancho.

Very interesting.

Yeah, one of the most wonderful things that ever

happened to this town, mister.

Why, a year from now, Echo will be a metropolis.

Yes, a mecca in the mountains, a people's paradise.

If the railway extends its line.

What do you mean, if?

Why, mister, one of their top agents, Mr. Manning, arrived

here on the stage this morning.

Really?

Yes, siree, in person.

I suppose that explains why your real estate man here,

Mr. Holbrook has reaped such a harvest.

He's a mighty lucky man to have Mr. Blake associated

with him.

Oh, yes, Mr. Blake.

Just who is he?

Blake?

Why, he's the man who started the boom in Echo.

The fella that got the railway to extend its line here,

you know.

Must be a very clever man.

That he is, that he is.

(chuckles) Yes, sir, well, gotta get to

work now, bye.

Good-bye.

Pancho, I think we'll buy some land here.

What do you want with land?

And what are we gonna use for money, bottle tops?

Oh, we'll worry about that later.

In a little while, meet me in front of the real estate office.

Land, that's just a pile of dirt.

And I want you folks to know that you have mighty fine friend

in Mr. Holbrook here.

He's induced me to let you have some of my land.

But remember, I'm not guaranteeing that the railroad

is coming through here.

I think I could be interested in some of your land.

Well, won't you step into the office and we'll talk this over.

Thank you.

Sit down.

Thank you.

Well, now that everybody in town is making money off of this

railroad, I think Cisco should make some, too.

Cisco?

You're not the Cisco Kid, are you?

Is there more than one?

Well, I'm-- I'm sure you can afford anything you want.

How far would you like to go?

That depends on the land and on the price.

Well, first things first.

Suppose you take a look at the land.

Good idea.

Oh, Larry?

Yes, sir.

I'd, uh... I'd like you to take this gentleman out to

Coyote Pass and show him around.

Sure, Mr. Blake.

I'd be glad to.

I think you might like this property, Cisco.

It could be very interesting.

I'm sure you'll find it so.

Thank you.

Pancho.

Take Loco to the blacksmith and have him replace his

left hind shoe.

Blake wants you to do a little job for him, Rocky.

Yeah?

Yeah, he's arranged for Larry to show the Cisco Kid some land,

and he's gonna take him through Coyote Pass.

The Cisco Kid, huh?

Uh-huh, and he wants you to get Cisco.

This is the nicest job I've had in a long time.

This is the nicest job I've had in a long time.

Loco, these shoes you are wearing are as good as mine.

Hey, that was a signal what Cisco said, no?

Si, what this signal was, Loco?

You got good horse senses.

But I forget to remember.

Oh, oh, yeah, I know.

The right front shoe was to get away.

The right hind shoe was to run for it.

And the left front shoe was to follow me.

And the left hind shoe was to get out of sight, huh?

Hey...

But then maybe I'm gonna get the front foot where

the back foot should be and-- Well, anyhow, we follow him, eh?

Hold it!

Now throw down your gun.

Get down!

What's the idea?

Get down, I said.

Take off your hat.

What are you trying to do?

Take off your hat, I said.

Your shirt, too.

Put it more on the back of your head.

Farther back.

Good.

Now get up.

No, on my horse.

Now let's go.

I'll kill him for you, Cisco.

(gunshot) Pancho, it's me!

Cisco!

I thought you were dead.

But you ain't dead!

? Qué bueno.

Qué bueno, amigo!

No, I'm not dead, but I will be if you don't stop

crushing my ribs.

Let me go.

What-- what happened?

Why you kill him?

I didn't kill him.

Somebody else did.

But the bullet was intended for me.

Here, give me a hand with the body.

Here, give me a hand with the body.

Excuse me.

Stop crowding, you'll have to wait your turn.

When Cisco's in a hurry, that is his turn.

You thought you were very clever, Blake.

But you didn't have me fooled for a minute.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You don't, huh?

Well, this'll make your memory.

(groaning) Get the sheriff, Margie.

You better watch Cisco.

He's a pretty good fighter.

(groaning) What's the meaning of this?

Are you joking?

Why, you're in this up to your pretty little neck.

And your father, too.

Everyone else, also.

You're talking in circles, young man.

Circles, eh, just because Pancho and I found a dead man

stripped of his clothes, your gunmen tried to kill us.

That's a deliberate lie.

Don't interrupt!

We followed one of your gunmen right here to this place.

Yeah, and we lose him.

And now this trick of Blake's, trying to ambush me.

I wonder what your game is.

I'll soon find out.

Come on, Pancho.

Oh, just when I'm getting used to that seat.

That man's insane.

I wonder.

Hey, Pancho, do you know that hotel down there?

Pancho know every hotel in town.

Do you think you can get the hotel register without a clerk

seeing you?

You mean, the machine where they ring up the money?

No, that's the cash register.

I mean the book on which people write their names down.

That would be easy, like falling on top of the log.

Good, then go and get it, and meet me in the back

of the hotel, eh?

Bueno.

I got it, Cisco, just like you told me.

Good work, Pancho.

What are you gonna do with that big book?

We're gonna pay a visit to Mr. Blake's room.

I want to make sure which one it is.

What do you see now?

I see a Mr. Andrew J. Manning of the CP&R Railroad is in

the next room.

Is that the wrong room?

Follow me and you'll find out.

Follow me and you'll find out.

I couldn't find nothing, Cisco.

But I have.

Something very, very interesting.

A letter Holbrook wrote to the railroad.

How did it get here in Blake's room?

Pancho, we're paying a visit to Mr. Manning's room.

Pancho, we're paying a visit to Mr. Manning's room.

We meet again, eh?

Yes, and in the strangest places.

What are you doing here?

Looking.

What are you doing here?

Thinking.

Thinking about what?

Thinking about what Cisco said in the office and wondering

how much of it was true.

Oh, that.

I take it all back, what I said about you and your father.

Why?

He told Cisco and...

told Pancho, too.

Because Blake and this man supposed to be Andrew J. Manning

are thieves.

Certainly, your father wouldn't have written the letter to

the railroad if either of you were mixed up in it.

Hold it.

Nice guessing, Cisco.

Drop your gun belts.

Cisco: Don't shoot, Sheriff!

Pancho, are you all right?

I'm all right.

Here, give me a hand with that couch.

Cisco, I have a key.

The jig's up, Blake.

We better clear out fast.

No, you don't.

Where are you going, my friend, traveling?

Let me help you with your bag.

The jail is right across the alley.

Keep moving.

Are you all right?

man: Yes, thanks.

What are you doing, Pancho?

Just something for my own displeasure.

That's pretty good shooting, Pancho, but I told you a million

times, the word is "pleasure."

And I told you a million times, this Blake and this sign

and this whole business give Pancho nothing but displeasure.

Well, it seems to agree with you.

(chuckles) Oh, Cisco.

Ha ha.

Oh, Pancho.

Good-bye, amigos!

See you soon!
