In 1846, the United States, annexed California.

A short time later, gold was discovered at Sutlers Mill.

The 49ers in their covered wagons

poured into California.

For them, the yellow metal was a fabulous bonanza,

but for the native-born Spanish people,

it proved a tragedy.

They found themselves hounded and persecuted

by mobs of avid gold seekers.

Next, they were divested of their lands legally

through an oppressive tax law passed by the legislature.

Henceforth, only the newly arrived Americans

would be permitted to dig for gold.

Many native Californians refused to submit.

Men and women of courage, they fought back.

Fought for justice for their people,

regardless of consequences to themselves.

Leaders in the fight, were members of

a Spanish family called Montalvo.

For the last time, Montalvo, we want that gold.

You crazy fooll -Zara.

No sign of the gold. -Zara.

We tore the place half apart. -We can't look anymore now.

Let's get out of here.

Niño del demonio!

Niño!

Niño!

Niño!

Niño del demonio!

Niño!

Niño!

Niño!

Bring the loaf of bread back here.

That is for the padre's dinner.

Nino, Maria...

Would you turn the Mission San Sebastian

into a fight arena?

he stole the bread that I bake for your supper.

I did not know it was for you, Padre.

Perhaps you were doing me a favor.

Too much bread is not good for me.

Padre, you spoil him.

Zara.

Zarita!

Zarita.

Don't you remember?

Mann.

What's all this, Maria?

Forgive me, Father Antonio,

but I haven't seen this one since she was a little girl,

this high.

I was a el duena in San Gabriel

"My years ago.

You are new In this region then, my dear?

I retumed home only last night, Father.

I am Zara Montalvo.

Don Jose's daughter, of course.

And how are your father and mother?

I have just seen them both murdered.

Madre de Dias.

This is a terrible shook, my dear,

but not entirely unexpected.

We must be very careful.

No one must learn that Senorita Montalvo

has returned home.

Comprende?

Si, Padre. -Si, Padre.

Nino, get the rt ready.

Right away, Father.

Come with me, my child.

You've been away many years.

You've been away many years.

Much has changed since the gold was discovered.

But these horrible killings.

I can't understand it.

These people who call themselves Americans,

look upon us as foreigners,

a conquered people.

They are trying In drive out all natives

by taxing them so heavily,

that none can pay.

Your father was a leader in the fight against the tax.

He was in their “lay.

But I stayed away all these years.

If I'd only known.

I should have come back long ago.

If you had, my dear, they would have killed you too.

You are alive now only because you're unknown to them.

They leave no witnesses and you are a witness.

So long as you live, you are a danger to them.

But isn't there any law or justice?

Only the law of greed and guns.

“We must do something, Father.

Tomorrow, you must go to the sheriff's office in Madera

and tell him your story.

You will make the mission your home.

Thank you, Father.

Whoa.

There's nothing I can do about it.

I don't make the law's.

You pay your taxes by Saturday or you'll lose your property.

Sheriff Harden.

Just a minute, please.

Yes, miss.

“Ks anything wrong, ma'am?

Oh no, nothing.

So what was it you wanted?

Well, I... just arrived in town,

uh, to visit friends.

I-I can't find them I thought perhaps you could help me.

Well, who you lookin‘ for?

The John Langfords and the Arnold Flint family

from my home town.

Where might that be, miss?

D-D-Detroit, Detroit, Michigan.

Well, this is Dan Hinsdale, our regional attorney.

Perhaps, uh, I can help you find your friends, Miss...

Belmont, Lola Belmont.

Langfords, the Flints.

Funny, l-l thought I knew every name around here,

but I never heard of em'.

In case we do find your friends, where are you staying?

At the mission.

An American girl at a Spanish mission?

It hardly seems appropriate.

I'd hardly ll a room over a saloon appropriate.

No, I guess not.

In case we don't find your friends,

I'm at your service to help you find something better.

Thank you.

Good day, gentlemen.

That's quite a gal.

Yeah, very interesting.

The Montalvo papers ready?

Yeah.

Have a look at em'.

All right?

Hmm, this'|| do it.

I paid off all the back taxes and,

all we need is the governor's signature on this.

The Montalvo estate and gold mine will belong to us.

All legal and proper.

Sure, the Montalvos didn't have any kids or relatives.

Well, even if they did, with the governor's signature on this,

they'd have a tough time getting it back.

Come in.

Jochin, Jochin Murieitta.

Buenos Dias, Father.

How could you risk coming here in broad daylight'?

Oh, is it so very dangerous around here in broad daylight'?

For you, yes.

Every officer in California has been given the orders.

Find Jochin Murietta.

This Murietta must be a dangerous man,

but then he wears so many disguises

that no one knows what he looks like.

Be careful, Jochin.

Instructions are to take you, dead or alive.

Dead or alive, well...

In that case, I'm glad I was able to make this delivery

before Captain Gray and his military caught up with me.

Gold for the mission and for the help of

our people who have suffered so much.

It will do much good.

God's blessing on you for this.

Padre...

Let me tell you how we got this gold.

There was a certain... -No, no, no, no.

Even though this money belongs to our people,

I'd rather not be told how you got it.

Ha ha ha. -I beg your pardon, Father.

Oh, that's all fight, my child.

I'd like you to meet my friend...

Uh, Carlos Del Rio.

Uh, ah, yes, yes, Carlos Del Rio.

And, Carlos, may I present, Miss...

Lola Belmont.

Carlos Del Rio, Lola Belmont.

Pleasure, Miss Belmont.

Every time I return to the Mission San Sebastian,

I find it has taken on a new charm.

Uh, you are staying here?

Yes, Senor Del Rio.

As you me in, uh, Father Antonio was

just insisting that I remain here overnight.

And he was insisting that he had important things

to do in Monterey.

But I think you persuaded me, Father.

Yes, I'll slay until tomorrow, but no longer.

I am happy I succeeded in making you change your mind, Carlos.

Uh, you know you are always welcome here.

Gracias.

But Senorita Belmont has something to say to you.

Hash mega, Father. Senor Cams.

I just me from Madera

Father...

Sheriff Harden was the leader of the men who

murdered my mother and father.

Harden, the sheriff.

I will never have thought it possible.

A man swom to uphold law and order.

Yet, there has been considerable talk of Harden.

That's why you call yourself Belmont.

The name I'll use until Harden...

Vengeance is a bitter thing my child.

It can destroy the avenger as well.

Much better to bring them to justice.

Justice.

That murderer for a sheriff.

Unless, Mr. Hinsdale could help.

He seems sincere.

Buenos Dias.

Ha ha.

Buenos Dias.

Were you thinking of joining a carnival troupe,

Senorita Belmont?

No.

Well, I found the whip and...

“hell, it fascinated me.

Can you manipulate it?

I used to know a trick or two.

Ha ha. -Carlos Del Rio,

performance en professional.

Expert with rifle, pistol or whip.

Has appeared before kings... -Some people need more

than performers, senor. -Oh?

They need defenders, like the great Jochin.

You mean, Murietta, the bandit?

A bandit maybe to the oppressors of his people,

but to those he has helped, a Robin Hood.

He could use the help of a man like you, Senor.

Expert with rifle, pistol or whip.

Me, become a bandit?

Running from the law?

Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk.

You better not let the padre hear you talk like that.

And you, an American girl.

Padre, has more spirit than many young men.

But you're an expert with this.

Would you teach me?

Of course.

Let's shirt here.

Now, take the whip behind you, hold on to it.

Now, make a wide arc, like this.

Then whip it.

Let's try it again.

Forgive me for saying it, but...

you two seem to be whipping up a friendship.

Ha ha ha ha. -Oh, Father, ha ha ha ha.

Oh, Padre, only your cloth saves you.

Senor Del Rio, has been helping me master the whip.

But I'm afraid that already I have remained too long

at the mission.

It is my fault, Father.

I have driven him away by suggesting he turn bandit.

Oh?

She, uh, wishes me to join the great Jochin Murietta.

Ha ha.

All young senoritas are fascinated by Murietta,

until they meet him.

Ha ha.

Uh, um, I really must get back to Monterey.

Uh...

Buenos Dias, Senorita.

I will think over your suggestion.

If the saints are kind...

Hasta la vista.

Buenos Dias, Senor.

And thank you very much.

So she wishes you to turn bandit,

while I attempt to persuade you to give it up.

It won't be much longer, Padre, before I take your advice.

I had hoped that this time, you would have not

turned your eyes North again.

That you would not leave us at all.

So, it was your intention for me to fall in love

with your charming visitor,

forsake my career and settle down.

The thought had occurred to me.

Why she's beautiful enough for any man to fall in love.

Nino

Nino

Nino

I'll catch your behind or my name is not Maria Gonzalez.

I'll teach you.

Nino.

Nino.

Nino.

Nino.

Nino.

Hey.

Save me.

Save me from the dragon.

Nino, what in the world is this?

When I get you, you little mmm, I better not to say.

Forgive me, Lolita, but with such little to cook

and this...

Nino, give it back.

""10.

For you, hermosa Senorita.

I'll catch you.

You say there's little food, Maria?

Yes, and sometimes none at all, Lolita.

Surely, there are enough men.

Men, with good Spanish blood,

In fight for their homes and families!

Seguro, Lolita, but they listen to your father

and to Senor Ortiz.

He told the people to be patient and the Amelin will come

and change the law.

And for that, they murdered him.

Oh, beside Murietta.

Is it being an outlaw In fight for what is light'?

Who's Senor Ortiz?

He was our magistrate at law before the Americans came

and made Harden, sheriff.

I'd like to talk to him.

But, Senorita,

all of us feel strongly.

Our families have suffered.

My father died of a beating they gave him.

Juan was robbed, his two brothers killed.

And when Raphael was with his sister,

they me to the one night and...

And still, you do nothing

What I What can we do?

If we fight back, the Americans say we are outlaws

and threaten to bring in the military.

Don Jose Montalvo cautioned us.. -Is it wrong to fight for

what is your own?

Why do you tell us this?

You are an American.

I'm Zara Montalvo, daughter of Don Jose Montalvo

and I speak to you with the advice of your friend,

Magistrate Ortiz.

Yes! It is true.

I have given my approval to Senorita Montalvo.

We can and we will show the Americans

how to be fair and just,

but the wrongs can never go unpunished.

We will ride, only to punish wrongs done to our people!

To give back what has been stolen.

And all this according to our real law,

our Spanish law.

Who's with me?!

We're all with you, Zaral

We're all with you, Zaral

Just one minute, boys, and I'll be with you.

Come on, boy.

Perhaps, you can find a Shetland pony.

A pony?

Or a small donkey.

A small donkey?

We shall build you a ladder, Nino,

but for this time, we shall have to go without you.

Nine men are enough. -Hmm.

Nine and a half are too many. Ha ha.

A half, eh?

I was man enough to be with Murietta.

You're a man all right, Nino,

but someone must shay and guard the women.

The women?

I suppose you mean Mafia.

Mafia too.

And don't stay in the kitchen.

We'll be hungry when we get back.

Maybe we shouldn't laugh at him.

He was with Murietta you know.

Maybe he didn't ride with him, but he did his share.

ls everybody here?

Vhamonos!

See if there are anymore inside.

Search the place!

You remember hanging Jose Montalvo here?

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

I'm his daughter Zara Montalvo and I saw you on the rope.

Me?

You didn't see me.

He was on the rope the night my brother died.

And he was there when my father was beaten and murdered.

You're crazy I tell you.

I don't know anything about it.

All signed and sealed by the governor himself,

legal and proper.

It's nice to know people who can do you some good.

Yeah, we unfit have any problems if I keep my end strictly legal

and you make yours look legal.

And we don't bite off too much.

Look,

with the Montalvo claim nae have the five best gold properties

in the district.

All we need is the Cortez claim and the Mancino mine.

We'll have the whole county in our pocket.

Then nobody can stop us.

But suppose something goes wrong?

Without witnesses, what can go wrong?

That's one thing we don't have to worry about.

I don't leave witnesses.

It's Chuck!

Zara.

Zara, what's it mean?

I don't know, but he was on guard at the Montalvo place.

We better get out there.

They took Barton's body with em'.

They were masked.

It all happened so fast I didn't have a chance to do...

They knew where to find the gold all right.

They didn't stay in the house a minute.

She knew exactly where it was.

She?

Yes, a girl.

She was the leader.

They were all Spanish.

It's you, my sister's dead because of.

He is the one who stole the gold mine of Senor Perez.

It's a lie, l-l payed him for it.

With a bullet.

He's the man who beat my father

with this whip.

No! Let me go.

Damon.

So what are we supposed to do, sit around and wait

while they pick off all our men one at a time?

Now, if we just could figure out who this Zara is.

“As Dawson with you at the Montalvos?

Yeah, but so...

Wait a minute.

Just before Montalvo died he yelled Zara.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I thought it might be his wife's name.

Nobody would know that except you and your men.

Unless, there was a witness.

I don't leave witnesses.

Then maybe it's somebody in the family.

But you said the Montalvos had no family.

Somebody's just trying to throw us off the track.

Oh sure, just passing out gold to the Spanish families.

No Harden, we've got to find out who this Zara is and quick.

What you're doing is wonderful,

but if they catch you, you know what will happen.

You think my life is so important to me?

But it should,

To one so young, so beautiful like you cutie.

You think I should fall in love.

I think, uh, you have already.

Your eyes are too sharp, Mafia.

There's no time for that.

Not while Harden and his men are still alive and free.

Psst psst psst.

ls it safe?

Why not?

The dragon is with you.

The dragon is it?

You child of Satan.

Nino, you know Malia is one of your best friends.

Does she know it?

What is it, Nino?

I'm thinking how different Senorita Lola looks

from Senorita Zara.

Which is just as well, isn't it?

Like the great Jochin who always looks different too.

Oh, you know him well?

Oh, si, si.

He's a great hero.

He only robs those that harm our people.

Like Senorita Zara.

Nino, is that what you came to tell us?

No.

When I rode to town with Padre this morning,

I learned that Senor Harden will have patrols on every road.

Or that Zara had better stay off the roads.

Thank you, Nino.

And for that, Nino, you shall have something

that I bake this morning.

No tricks?

No, no, no, no.

When you help Lolita, you are my friend.

What do you got? What do you got?

Something good?

In the “leeks following, the bewildered Spanish people

excitedly, hopefully the daring deeds of their two defenders-'

Jochin Murietta, already a legendary figure,

making his name a scourge to all those who

sought to exploit his people.“

No stolen herds grazed in safety.

No stolen gold seemed secure so long as Jochin

and his band of fearless riders roamed at will in the north.

Meanwhile in the east, matching Jochin deed for deed,

rode Zara.

Zara, resolute angel of the Sierra,

equally well loved by her admiring greatful people,

equally hated, cursed and feared by their greedy oppressors.

Like Jochin, Zara remained free

only because her true identity was unknown.

Month after month, she and her band

evaded relentless pursuit by men

growing more and more desperate.

It seemed nothing could stop her.

Each shipment of stolen gold was being miraculously seized

and quickly restored to it's owner.

I fired a couple of shots, but it didn't do any good.

McWilliams.

Yeah, that means they got the shipment from the Perez mine.

And she left her calling card again.

I think I'm beginning to get it.

Chuck then Dawson and now McWilliams.

All three killed by Zara.

And all of them with you at the Montalvos.

Hey, I was there too.

If he's fight, that makes you next, or me.

And I want you to use every man you can find

and search every Spanish house in the county.

None of them will balk.

They think she's some kind of a saint.

I'm not baking for excuses.

Gid up, gid up.

Gid up.

Well?

Not a sign of her, we've been riding all night.

No woman can just come out of nowhere

and vanish anytime she wants to.

This one can.

Mr. Hinsdale.

Oh, Miss Belmont.

I thought you'd forgotten me.

Ah, never.

The truth is, I just me back from Sacramento.

I don't suppose you found out... -About your friends?

No, I'm sorry, but even if I don't find them, uh,

I'd like to ll on you.

Well, you know where to find me.

Ah, beautiful.

Let's see.

No, I think it's better without it.

Encantadora, preciosa aquiatura

“bit till see's you, ah.

Mr. Hinsdale's a powerful man.

What if I were to marry him?

Marry him?

He could be a good friend to our people.

But, uh...

What about... -Carlos?

A man who puts his personal business

above the suffering of his friends.

Do not judge him too hastily

Jochin Murrieta is dead.

A messenger just brought word to the padre.

Captain Gray, ambushed Jochin and his men.

He never had a chance.

Oh, I'm sorry, Nino.

I know how you felt about him.

I never should have let him out of my sight.

I never should have let him out of my sight.

Whoa.

There's my new home.

It's a lovely place.

I hoped you'd like it.

That's why I went to Sacramento.

I heard it was being sold for taxes

so I went to see the governor and...

You have good taste.

What happened In the Montalvo family?

Oh, they were murdered by bandits, terrible tragedy.

They left no heirs?

Come on, I have some more to show you.

Come on, boy.

All this is yours?

Yeah, I been kinda lucky.

The state had to seize these claims because of taxes.

I happened to have enough ready sh to buy them up.

Must have taken a lot.

Yeah, it did.

But the Montalvo claim will nuke it pay.

Another shipment of gold goes out tomorrow,

with a decoy this time.

I wish you hadn't told me.

Why not?

You see the bandit queen has spies everywhere.

Ha ha ha.

Mr. Hinsdale...

Dan...

Do you know why you're were able to buy this land?

Because of taxes... -The people were

ready 110 pay the taxes.

But before they had a chance, they were robbed and murdered.

Dan, there's someone who wants to drive the Spanish people

out of the county.

That's a terrible thing.

Do they know who it is?

I'm not for sure,

but they suspect Sheriff Harden.

I understood there were no witnesses to the crimes.

Oh, that's true...

Look, Dan, the Spanish people need a friend.

You have influence, you could help them.

Oh, uh, I'm having a party Saturday night at the hacienda.

Sort of a house warming.

Would you re to come?

We could balk it over then.

I'd love to, Dan.

Come on, boy.

If they were going to pull anything,

they passed up a good spot here.

That's the decoy coming now.

Are you sure Hinsdale told you the truth?

Hinsdale wouldn't lie to Lola Belmont.

It's a decoy all right.

Then we let it go through?

Si.

Manuel, Raphael, Jose and Juan, you come with me.

The rest of you circle around and attack the decoy.

They attack! Hyah! Hyah!

Hey, wait a minute. What's the matter, men?

I didn't do anything to you.

No!

He's the man who shot my mother.

No, II...

I didn't kill her!

I was told to!

You bungled the whole job.

I told you to keep your second wagon in sight.

We were only gone a few minutes.

Yeah, two horses, a wagon, and the driver,

just disappear.

Zara outsmarted you again.

Zara nothin'.

If she'd taken the wagon, we'da heard em'.

If you ask me, Hank just drove away with it.

Hank?

$40,000 dollars is a lot of money.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You might be light at that.

Hank could have figured that Zara and the bunch

were up ahead.

And when you took out after her,

he figured this was his big chance.

There you go-

Your not a child Nino.

But I get even hungrier than a child.

With all the food you steal when Maria's back is turned.

She doesn't turn her back often enough.

Please.

Please.

Please -Here.

Run along my children, I want to talk to Manuel.

I said for the children to run along, Nino.

That means you.

Well, then, If I'm included I am a child

and if I am a child,

I get thesel -Ha ha ha.

What did you find out, Manuel?

Harden is trying to trace the wagon.

They're sure that the driver ran off with the gold.

The drivel?

That's perfect, Manuel.

Hardin will be at Mr. Hinsdale's party tomorrow night.

Then I promise you that your cabaleros will furnish a

Senor Harden does not know is on the menu.

I hope it is a pleasant dinner, Senorita.

You are still determined to go to the party

knowing Harden will be a guest?

Of course, Father and you're still going with me.

There might be an interesting situation

if the bandit queen happens to appear.

What do you think of her, Father?

A very sinful woman.

And you think she should tell you about it and

ask for forgiveness?

The saints forbid.

Then I would have to tell her to stop what she is doing.

But, won't it be uncomfortable to be in your own home

under such conditions?

I'm not sure that I'm the one who would be uncomfortable,

Father.

But you don't have to go.

I wouldn't miss it.

I think I look American enough.

American, I would never suspect you had any Spanish blood

if I hadn't known your, Father.

American enough to marry Hinsdale if I can?

Marry Hinsdale?

Do you love him?

Jochin is dead, Zara can't win alone.

Hinsdale is a powerful man.

He could be a good friend to our people,

especially with a wife who is half Spanish.

I had forgotten about Jochin.

But remember, Father, no matter what,

I'm still Lola Belmont from Detroit.

Were you ever in Detroit?

No.

Good evening, Dan.

Ah, Lola, Padre, now my evening's complete.

Come meet my guests.

Thank you.

Maiason Felipe Rodriguez, may I present Miss Lola Belmont?

A new-comer to California.

How do you do?

Don Rodriguez is the Mayor of Madera.

And I think you know Father Antonio?

And we have heard of Miss Belmont.

She is even more beautiful than you say.

Mrs. Grayson, Carol Grayson and Miss Betty Grayson.

Miss Belmont, Father Antonio.

You ladies should have a lot in common.

You're from the same town, Detroit.

From Detroit? Well how wonderful.

You're the first person from home I've met out here.

It's funny though, I don't recall

any Belmont family in Detroit.

You didn't go to any of the dances, did you?

I'm sure I'd remember you.

Well, how long have you been living out here, Mrs. Grayson?

Nearly three years- Isn't that right, Carol?

Three years last month, ever since Dad sold his business.

Well, you see, we didn't move to Detroit fill two years ago.

We're originally from Ann Arbor.

Ann Arbor?

Well, isn't that a coincidence, mother?

Ann Arbor, that's quite close to Detroit.

We visited there all the time.

I guess mother knows just about everybody

in the shite of Michigan.

Well, maybe Mrs. Grayson can tell you something

about your friends, the Langfords, the Flints.

No. -She's down her looking for them

No, I'm afraid we... -Well, never mind.

We'll have time to talk about it at dinner.

Right now, I have something I'd like to say to Miss Belmont,

so if you'll excuse me?

Well, how did you like the place?

Oh, I love it.

I hoped you would.

Look, Lola, it's no secret how I feel about you.

I “rant you to marry me.

I... -Norw, before you answer me,

some things I'd like to tell you.

When we took California, l-l knew it was the place for me.

A man could carve out an empire and I have.

But the natives.

That's why I made Harden sheriff to get lid of them legally.

You and Harden?

You didn't know he worked for me?

What if they suspect you?

“Hell, no one but you knows my connection with Harden.

Besides, everything I've done, I've done strictly legal.

Why do you tell me all this?

Because, you and I together could rule this county.

And to think I almost...

Well, what do you say, Lola?

I must think about it.

I know it's sudden, but...

don't let me wait too long before you decide.

I hope you've enjoyed your dinner?

Muy beuno, eh Padre? -Seguro.

I believe you'll admit, Father, that the United States

taking California was the best thing that could have happened.

It may be, when the newcomers discovered

the native Californians are human beings.

That some of them are even ladies and gentlemen.

What do you know about this girl Zara, Sheriff.

Is she as bad as they say?

Worse.

We don't know who she is or where she comes from.

All nae know is she operates with a gang of thieves and murderers.

Some people say she's fighting for her people.

Huh, she's out to get as much gold as she can, that's all.

But why haven't you stopped her? You're the sheriff.

I'll tell you why.

I may be the sheriff, but I'm just one man.

Half the natives in the state are protecting her.

Haven't you wondered why they protect her?

Sure, because they hate Americans.

And this Zara business is just- -Please, I think we've had

enough talk about outlaws

I'd like to propose a toast to our guest of honor...

It's Hank. -Who?

Another one of my men.

It says you're next.

What a fool I was not to have suspected Hinsdale.

And to think I night even have married him.

It was God's mercy that his true nature was revealed in time.

I should have realized that a man like Harden

would have to have someone do his thinking for him.

Hinsdale is going to the government

to demand that the military be sent here

to wipe out the bandit queen and her men.

Do you think the governor will send them?

I don't see how the governor can refuse.

They are outlaws my child.

I'm not condoning the actions of this girl bandit, Dan,

but I'm told reliably, that she has taken gold only from claims

confiscated from natives under the tax act.

The law is the law, Ed.

Murietta fought it and now this girl bandit's fighting it.

But both in the wrong “lay.

Outside the law.

But I'm beginning to believe that it's an unjust law.

The law was passed by your state legislature.

The voice of the people.

I know, but there was some descending voices.

And Jose Montalvo and his wife were killed

because they led the fight to have it repealed.

The Montalvos were killed by outlaws for their gold.

And the criminals were never punished.

Sheriff Harden couldn't find any traces of them.

There were no witnesses.

There's never been any trace of this woman.

And only Captain Gray and the military can do it.

All right, Dan.

I'll talk it over with Captain Gray.

Thanks, Ed. -And you'll be healing

from me soon.

For all she has done I cannot condemn.

But I pray, Heavenly Father, let her not be harmed and--...

Let something show her the way.

Amen.

Jochin! Jochin, you are alive.

No, Padre, Jochin Murietta is dead.

From now on, I'm Carlos Del Rio.

It does my heart good to see you.

But how can this be?

Well, the report of my death was accurate enough except

in one small detail.

The man who was killed was not I.

Your explanations are very clear of course.

Some stupid killer impressed by my reputation

called himself Jochin and committed many crimes.

I wondered at some of the stories.

Captain Gray and his military finally caught up with him

and his men.

What about your own men?

They've gone back to their families.

And you?

I want only a peaceful life, Padre.

I know that's impossible in this state, but...

I, uh...

I thought I might find sanctuary here for awhile.

You have come a considerable distance.

Yes.

No other mission would do.

Not for me, Father.

Because this is the Mission San Sebastian

or because you knew the girl was still here?

Ha ha.

You're too wise, Padre.

Will you tell her the truth about yourself?

Father.

Carlos!

Carlos Del Rio.

Lola.

This is a pleasant surprise.

ls it only for an hour or two again?

It'll seem like only an hour or two,

even though I may be here for weeks.

Oh, then you do plan to stay longer this time.

There must be something else I could teach you

besides using the bullwhip.

Perhaps, if I use my head I can teach you a little more slowly.

And if l use my head, perhaps I can be slower in learning.

Ha ha ha ha.

It looks so peaceful.

But it isn't.

Never can be until...

Until Zara and her men accomplish their purpose.

She must be a brave woman.

The natives call her, Angel of the Sierras.

Do they?

It's too bad she is so ugly.

I hadn't heard.

Oh, yes.

They say that is why she became a bandit.

So she could wear a mask.

I See.

I feel very sorry for her.

Because she's so ugly?

No, because I know that someday she will be caught.

There must be wonderful hiding places in these hills.

I wonder if she knows the best ones?

I'm sure she does, Carlos.

Let's not worry anymore about Zara.

I'm beginning to get jealous.

Lola, all my people love this unknown Zara.

So, please do not be jealous if...

If I do a little too.

And I'm certain that she must be caught.

Jochin Murietta knew every cave,

every hideout in this state and still they got him.

There is only one escape for Zara.

Stop now.

How can she stop fighting for justice.

It would be betraying her people.

They would not like it if Zara were to be hunted like an animal.

Hunted until she is caught.

It's Charlie.

There out in the coves and they're headed this way.

You had it doped out right, Dan.

They're going In bring back the gold to the Morales'.

Yeah, if I'd taken over before,

she wouldn't have gotten away the last time.

Maybe.

The way she works is so obvious.

She steals a shipment then delivers it

to the rightful owner.

So, all we have to do is to wait for her

to deliver the shipment to Morales.

The rightful owner.

Now, look, Morales, when she gets here,

open the door and get her inside.

I don't re how you do it.

You understand?

Si, Senor.

Here they come. -Okay, come on!

Run, Zaral Run for your life!

What I want to know is, who is Zarra?

The one who got away.

I said, who is she?

You're wasting your time, Hinsdale.

Come on, let's string him up right away.

Not now, We'll hike him to jail.

When she finds out he's there, she'll come for him.

And when she does...

And when she does...

Father!

Father!

Father Antonio,

look at these clothes.

You know what they mean?

I've always known.

But you didn't try to stop me.

What have you done?

Brought evil men to justice.

Helped the poor and sick.

Restore stolen gold.

And always with the guidance of our magistrate.

But now, some of our men are dead.

Carlos is a prisoner.

I can't understand why he was at the Morales home.

He's been guarding you ever since he came back.

Yes.

He knows you're Zara.

Oh, Father.

Tears will not save him.

But perhaps, we can find a way.

Whoa, whoa.

How do you do, Sheriff Harden?

Miss Belmont, hello, Padre.

What can I do for you?

I understand you got a man named Del Rio last night.

We sure did.

Now, that's one of Zara's men we're not going to

have anymore trouble with.

I used to know the Del Rio family.

Would you mind if I talked to him?

No, not at all.

Say, if he's a friend of yours, maybe you can

get something out of him.

Find out who Zara is.

It's possible he'd tell me the truth.

You know him too, Miss Belmont?

A man like that?

Oh no, I guess you wouldn't.

I would like to know a real western bandit though.

It would be something to talk about back home.

Come back tomorrow, maybe you can meet a real lady bandit.

Oh, then you know who she is.

No, but we're pretty sure that she'll try to rescue Del Rio

and when she does...

You don't seem to have many guards.

Oh, she won't be crazy enough to try to break him out

in the daytime.

But we're ready for her anyway.

What do you mean?

Oh, I think four of us can nuke it tough enough for her

until help comes.

One shot and there'd be a hundred men in here.

My quarters are in there, the cells are this “ray.

This is the Del Rio I know.

I've come to do what I can for you my, son.

Gracias, Padre.

You can come over here too if you want to, Miss Belmont.

Why, he's very handsome.

He doesn't look like a bandit at all.

Believe me, Miss Belmont, he's a very dangerous killer.

Are you?

No, Senorita.

I do not even know this woman they keep asking me about.

Well, if he is a bandit, he's very disappointing.

He doesn't look anymore like a thief than you do, Mr. Harden.

laughing

I think I'll wait for you outside, Father.

All right, my dear.

You can help yourself most by answering my questions properly.

Si, Padre.

You may depend on my answers.

I believe he is telling the truth.

He doesn't know this woman.

Up with your hands.

Zaral

PM

Throw your guns in there.

Lock the door.

Unlock his cell.

Get in, all of you.

You wouldn't lock up a man of the church.

Get in and keep quiet.

Your horse is outside.

Gracias, Senorita Zara.

Hasta la vista.

He never rode with us, but last night he saved my life.

And I pay my debts.

Hinsdale! Somebody! -Yes, yes.

Anybody! Let us out of here!

Somebody!

Anybody! -Yes, yes.

Let us out of here!

Miss Belmont.

What on earth?

Get us out of here.

I heard you all the way out to the buggy.

The... The keys, the keys- Let us out.

Well, how did you get in there?

Will you get those extra keys?

Of course, you don't have to shout at me, Mr. Harden.

All fight, all right, I won't shout,

but go get the keys.

Where?

In the lower left hand drawer of my desk.

Oh.

Oh, where did you say they were?

In the lower left hand drawer of my desk!

I found them.

The prisoner, he's gone!

Of course he's gone! She got a drop on us!

She took him away!

It's the big key, the second one, come on!

Thank you.

Come on!

Father Antonio, too.

Are you all fight, Father?

Grab yourself some rifles|

Charlie!

Round up the horses!

The flowers, they're missing.

Where did you change?

In there. -Go ahead.

I'll be fight with you.

Mr. Hinsdale unfit like this.

A small tribute to a brave girl.

Not so brave, Father.

I was scared to death. -Huh.

Carlos!

We risked everything to get you out and then you come back here.

Why didn't you keep going. Th-There are a hundred men

looking for you.

Si, and perhaps twice that number looking for you.

It's the chance I have to take. There's no reason to involve you

All the reason in the world, my darling.

Oh, I should never have let it go this far.

I've made a target out of you.

I've been a target before.

You see, my full name...

is Carlos Del Rio Jochin Murrietta.

Jochin Murrietta?

But nae heard you... -I'll explain everything.

That's why I had to come back.

To hike you away.

Oh, but we're both outlaws- We have no chance for happiness.

We do if we have now.

My work wouldn't be finished.

Two of the men who killed my mother and father

are still alive.

Lolita.

look at me.

Believe me, you'll find no satisfaction in vengeance.

But I've planned so carefully.

Harden and Hinsdale... -They'll destroy themselves.

You've given our people new hope.

Your work is finished.

Let's find Father Antonio.

Well get married light away.

You- do- love me?

Nino, where are you going with those?

To polish these and get ready for the wedding.

Oh, let them go.

Help me out to fix this for the wedding cake.

That's a woman's work.

When I finish this, I have to layout the padre's surplus

and stole and help Jochin pack.

Ohh.

Look, look.

Look what's over there.

You figlio di bandito! (speaking foreign language)

Senor Hinsdale and Sheriff Harden.

We want you In do something for us, Padre.

I'm always anxious to assist anyone in trouble.

Padre, I think that you helped Del Rio to escape.

I also think you know who Zara is.

Really, gentlemen?

We know that Del Rio me to the mission

and we demand that you surrender him.

My, son, how could you think he me here?

He was headed this way.

That's hardly conclusive evidence that he's here.

We're wasting time, Padre.

Now, turn him over or we search the place.

Search, not here, my sons.

We're the law, Del Rio is an escaped prisoner.

And this is a church.

What's that got to do with it?

The church has always been a sanctuary for

anyone who enters it.

Here, a man answers only to God.

Whether or not the man is here doesn't matter.

There will be no search!

Come on.

No, I warned you.

Oh, no you don't|

Sheriff, this makes me as big as both of you.

This all the men you got?

To raid a mission, how many do you need?

All fight.

Father Antonio! Father Antonio!

Father Antonio!

Father Antonio!

Father Antonio!

I believe we are ready.

Father Antonio!

The military, hundreds of em'.

Right outside the.

You must leave at once.

But our wedding.

You must be married along the way at some other mission.

No, Padre, perhaps it would be better to hide

and wait until after dark.

Even if I can out talk Captain Gray,

Hinsdale and Harden will surely come back.

This time, they won't come alone.

And that's the whole tragic story, my friend.

The governors personal investigation

confirms most of it.

He promises to repeal the tax lam

at the next session of the legislature.

In the meantime?

I have orders removing both Hinsdale and Harden from office.

What about this girl, Zara?

Unfortunately, Padre,

she's still an outlaw.

Nino, mijo, I baked a cake, I hurry

and there is no Lola, no Joaquin, no wedding.

There's no time.

Ah- my Poor cake.

run, run fast for the padre.

Hold your fire!

Lola!

Lola Belmont.

What are you doing here?

My name is Zara, Zara Montalvo.

Montalvo?

Hardin failed you.

He did leave one witness.

Me.

You're Don Jose's daughter?

Even though I agreed to your marriage, technically

you're still outlaws and I'm duty bound to hunt for you.

By the way, which way will you be traveling?

Why, east Captain.

That's good, because I'll be looking for you in the west

until the governor can sign the pardon.

Oh, thank you, Captain.

And I'll say an extra prayer for you.

Thank you, Padre.

Now, you two better get going.

Captain, it'd be time first for the wedding make?

“Hell, yes I guess there's time.

Oh, that's fine.

The father will bless it and we'll out it.
