00:00Here he comes, here he comes, there's the trumpets, there's the drums, here he comes,
00:09Hobbulon Cassidy, here he comes, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.
00:22Fred and I were riding home from a business trip across the border.
00:30To reach our ranch, the Bar 20, we had to pass through a number of Mexican villages.
00:45Avocado was one of the smallest settlements, yet in its colorless, sleepy way it fascinated me.
00:52Get that wagon out of here.
01:07Had Topper been a less intelligent horse, I couldn't have avoided riding her down.
01:13Fortunately, the woman was unhurt and I helped her to her feet.
01:16She apologized for stepping in front of us.
01:19She said she had heard us and the wagon and became confused.
01:22I looked at her more closely and suddenly the reason why she had failed to see us became clear.
01:28Senora Soledad was blind.
01:30Muchas gracias, senores.
01:40You have been kind to a blind lady.
01:43I hope because of me you have not too long delayed your journey.
01:46Oh, we weren't going anyplace in particular, were we, Red?
01:49Least ways we weren't in any hurry.
01:51Oh, bueno.
01:52Then you can drink a cup of coffee, perhaps, see?
01:55Oh, you're very kind, but that would put you to too much trouble.
01:58But it is all ready.
01:59Please.
02:01Could I help you, Senora?
02:02Oh, no, gracias.
02:04Please sit down.
02:05It is four years now that I am blind and one learns to get along.
02:13Oh, my man, Pedro Soledad, he is dead.
02:18And my son, Manuel, he is gone.
02:20So I manage for myself.
02:22Your boy, has he been gone long?
02:25Si, seven months, senor.
02:26Seems to me he should have stayed with you.
02:29Oh, no, senor.
02:30He could not make enough money here.
02:31There is no work.
02:33In Rio Hermosa, he has good job.
02:36He did not like to leave me, but we need the money, senor.
02:40I'll help you with this.
02:42Thank you, senor.
02:47While I poured the coffee, Red and I learned that her son, Manuel,
02:51for the first five months of his absence, had sent the senora money.
02:55Several weeks before, however, Manuel stopped writing
02:57and also stopped sending the money.
03:00Naturally, the good woman was worried.
03:02She wondered if perhaps the change had come about
03:04because of a girl Manuel had met in Rio Hermosa.
03:08All she knew about this girl was that her name was Carmencita Escobar
03:12and that she worked in a cantina.
03:15Well, it's been very pleasant, senora,
03:17but we must go if we hope to get to our ranch before dark.
03:21All pleasures must end there, senores,
03:23but you will visit me again when you ride through Apocato.
03:26We certainly will. Thank you very much.
03:28Oh, de nada.
03:29Hasta la vista.
03:30Oh, hasta muy pronto.
03:33You sure there's nothing more we can do for you before we go?
03:35Oh, no, gracias, senores.
03:37Gracias de todo.
03:38Y váyanse ustedes con Dios.
03:40Gracias, senora.
03:40Red seemed puzzled when I delayed our start for home.
03:58The fact was, I wondered about Manuel
04:01and why he had stopped writing to his blind mother.
04:04As I could think of no pressing reason to hurry home,
04:06I suggested to Red we devote a couple of days
04:09in checking the situation in Rio Hermosa.
04:12Red was pleased.
04:13He, too, wanted to ease the mind of senora Soledad.
04:16Red was pleased.
04:46There are other cantinas in Rio Hermosa.
05:08Why you gringos come here?
05:10Looking at you, ain't that a silly question?
05:12The vino.
05:13Tres pesos.
05:14Wait till we finish.
05:15You'll pay now.
05:17All right.
05:18Don't get in the huff.
05:21By the way,
05:23whatever happened to that fellow
05:24that used to hang around you?
05:26What do you think?
05:27I know everybody's business.
05:29The customers come and they go.
05:30I don't keep track of them.
05:32You kept track of this one.
05:33His name was Manuel.
05:34Manuel Soledad or something like that.
05:37He went away someplace.
05:39I don't know where.
05:41Now give me the money.
05:43Sure.
05:46Ouch!
05:49Maybe the little spitfire is telling the truth.
05:53Maybe she's not.
06:00We'll hang around just in case.
06:02Why you ask about this Manuel?
06:07Friends of his.
06:09Then why don't you ask about him before?
06:12You've been in here many times since he went away.
06:14That's right, sweetheart.
06:16But we didn't know he was wanted for murder until today.
06:18He's in trouble, so we want to help him.
06:21If he is in trouble,
06:22he will have other friends he can trust.
06:24He's in trouble, so he's in trouble.
06:54What do you hombres want?
07:04I like a tall grass of fizz water with a little cherry syrup in it.
07:08We have beer, wine, and whiskey.
07:10That's all.
07:11No such gorilla.
07:12Are you making jokes?
07:14This is a place of business.
07:16What for you, senor?
07:18Information.
07:19About what?
07:21Are you Carmencita Escobar?
07:23What if I am?
07:25We hear that you might know the whereabouts of Manuel Soledad.
07:33It's important that we find Manuel.
07:35So I'd appreciate anything you can tell me about him, senorita.
07:39I can tell you nothing.
07:40He stayed in Rio Hermosa a few months.
07:42But five, six weeks ago, he went away.
07:44Where?
07:45Where'd he go?
07:46If you want to ask questions, find Manuel and ask him.
07:51What's your pitch, mister?
07:53The answer is none of your business.
07:55We're making it our business.
07:56Manuel was our friend.
07:58You don't strike me as the kind that have any friends.
08:01Oh, a smart aleck, huh?
08:02Keep your hands off that hardware.
08:10Get up.
08:11Come on.
08:14Now, get up.
08:15Get on your horses and get out of town.
08:26Oh, OK.
08:30Now, get up.
08:43First, go.
08:45Now what?
09:05We'll leave the horses here and walk back up to the cantina.
09:08We're not going in there again.
09:10No.
09:11I'm going to keep my eye on those two.
09:13I've got a hunch that'll lead us to Manuel.
09:15I've got a hunch you're asking for trouble.
09:17You see, Carmencita, I've talked to Manuel's mother.
09:20She's blind and alone and not caught up.
09:23She not only needs the little money that he's been sending her,
09:25but she's worried for fear something's happened to him
09:28because he's quit writing to her.
09:30She could sure use the money, too.
09:32Why don't you be a good girl and tell us where he is?
09:34You Americanas, you make up lies to fool me.
09:37How I know that is all you want from Manuel.
09:40I guess you'll just have to take our word for it, senorita.
09:43Your word.
09:45It's pretty obvious Manuel is in trouble,
09:48and I'd like to help him.
09:49But you'll have to help, too, by telling me where I can find him.
09:54Please.
09:55When Manuel left the Rio Hermosa,
09:59he went to the Rancho Diablo.
10:01Rancho Diablo?
10:02Where is that?
10:03It is in the hills, east.
10:05Six, seven miles, I think.
10:07Maybe you find him there.
10:09Gracias, senorita.
10:11Hasta la vista.
10:12I couldn't believe that Carmocita told us the whole truth.
10:30Red agreed that the ride to Rancho Diablo might prove to be a wild goose chase.
10:34I decided first I would talk with the local commandant of the rear alleys.
10:39In the meantime, Red would keep an eye on the cantina.
10:42You won't show me now.
11:10I tell you not to come to the cantina, and you come anyway.
11:17But where can I go?
11:18Go home to Avocado Manuel, to Chihuahua, any place where it is safe, but not here.
11:22What if Corporal Gonzales of the Rurali should see you?
11:25I cannot stay longer at the Rancho de Alto, and I cannot run away.
11:28If the Ruralis do not find me, those gringos will.
11:31Those gringos are gone, Manuel.
11:33Get out, you! What fright do you have to come in here?
11:36Just a minute, Carmencita.
11:37All we wanted was to talk to Manuel.
11:40I guess you heard us asking about you, Manuel.
11:42I heard everything.
11:43Then you know we're here because of your mother.
11:45But that ain't why we're here, Manuel.
11:48Get the fat boy's gun and see if he's got a knife.
11:50Oh, no, you cannot date him!
11:51Get away from that gun!
11:53All right, let's go.
11:54Where are we going?
11:55Not far enough to tire you out.
12:02My visit to the Ruralis paid off.
12:04From Corporal Gonzales, I learned that Manuel had worked for a local merchant named Leif Seabury,
12:10who was found stabbed to death on the morning after Manuel disappeared.
12:14The corporal was positive that Manuel had committed the crime,
12:18especially when it was discovered the Seabury had been robbed of 300 pesos.
12:22Are you sure you saw Manuel with the knife just before the man closed the store for the knife?
12:28Si, senor Casadino.
12:29When I stepped into the store, Manuel was holding a knife which he wanted to buy.
12:33It had a carved bone handle and a fine blade with engraving all over it.
12:38And you found the knife later?
12:39No, no, no.
12:39No knife, no pesos, no Manuel.
12:42All gone.
12:43Well, then somebody else could have done it with another knife.
12:46Then why Manuel run away?
12:48Oh, well, he's running away doesn't necessarily prove that he's guilty.
12:52It's possible, senor.
12:53If you want to, you can search for him.
12:55But if you find him, you tell me, eh, senor?
12:57I sure will.
12:58Muchas gracias.
13:00Hasta la vista.
13:01Hasta luego.
13:01Hasta luego.
13:01I took away him, Manuel.
13:27Who's going to kill you?
13:28You mean my friend Red?
13:29But those gringos came back.
13:31They took away him and Manuel.
13:32Then Manuel was here.
13:34Oh, please, senor.
13:35Try to find them in the hills up there.
13:37I'll see what I can do.
13:38Oh, gracias.
13:40Come on.
13:41Come on.
13:41Come on.
13:41Come on.
13:59For a moment it looked to Red as if he and Manuel had come to the end of the trail.
14:28Then Andrews caught sight of me.
14:30Oh, my God.
15:00Why did you hang on to that boy?
15:19Oh, they had me all tied up.
15:20I couldn't do anything.
15:21He went on up the other way.
15:22I'll go after him.
15:23No way.
15:23Well, let me loose.
15:24Hey, let me loose.
15:26Come on, get me loose.
15:30Hey, let me loose.
16:00Come on, get me loose.
16:11Manuel was badly scared and stubbornly refused to talk.
16:15I tried to appeal to his devotion to his mother.
16:17It was no go.
16:18I decided in the time it would take to get him back to Rio Hermoso, he might calm down enough to answer questions.
16:26I said yes, yes, yes, yes.
16:28It's the only time you were lunatic with his wife.
16:32What happened to you?
17:00We had to run in with some guy from over the border.
17:04Run in about what?
17:05We found Manuel, but they were after him, too.
17:07Who's they?
17:08Hurry up and get this shoulder fixed, will you?
17:10I'll take it easy.
17:11A couple of Americans.
17:13Did they get him?
17:14I don't know.
17:15Last we saw him, he was hightailing for the hills.
17:18And you didn't go after him?
17:20Listen, that hombre can put a bullet in a centavo at 50 yards.
17:24Besides, Andy here's in pretty bad shape.
17:26Take a look.
17:30That ain't so bad, but losing the Mexicaneers.
17:34If you two had listened to me, this wouldn't have happened.
17:37I wanted to put a bullet in him right away, but no.
17:39Now we're chasing around him like a bunch of scared coyotes and for what?
17:43A lousy 300 pesos.
17:45What do you mean 300 pesos?
17:47With a thousand pesos reward for the capture of the killer, dead or alive,
17:51all we had to do was to knock him off, take him to the Rurales and collect.
17:55So now Manuel gets to the Rurales first.
17:59When Blackie gets you fixed up, him and me will ride out and find Manuel.
18:03And when we do, we won't waste any time.
18:06You know you're not helping yourself by withholding the facts, Manuel.
18:11I have the facts, Senor Cassidy.
18:13I entered the place a few minutes before they closed for the night.
18:16Soledad had the knife in his hand.
18:18Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know all about that.
18:20The knife had a bone handle and was engraved on the blade.
18:23But did you see Manuel stab him?
18:25What more do I need, Senor Rojo?
18:27I was there.
18:29He had the knife in his hand. I saw it.
18:31The man was stabbed to death and robbed of 300 pesos.
18:34Are you such a fool you cannot speak?
18:36Or are you too much of a coward to fight for yourself?
18:39Even a worm tries to crawl out of the hand.
18:42Carmen Cedar's right, Manuel.
18:44I want to help you.
18:45But you must tell the truth about what happened.
18:48Hoppy thinks you're innocent.
18:49That's why he brought you back, so you could prove it.
18:52I did not believe it when you told me this, Senor Cassidy.
18:56I made a mistake, I think.
18:58I can understand.
19:00And I can't say that I blame you.
19:02So? Talk!
19:05This is a waste of time.
19:07Vámonos!
19:08Un momento, por favor.
19:10This is what happened at the store.
19:12The truth, amigo.
19:14Manuel recounted the story of what happened on the night Leif Seabury was murdered.
19:18After Corporal Gonzalez had left, Manuel was about to bolt the front door
19:22when Pointer and the Andrews pushed their way in and demanded the money out of the strong box.
19:27The day's receipts, 300 pesos.
19:31When Seabury did not move rapidly enough, Pointer seized the knife,
19:34which still lay on the counter, and stabbed him to death.
19:37Fearing for his life, Manuel tried to slip out to run to the rear alleys for help.
19:41Pointer, however, caught him and wanted to kill him on the spot,
19:44but Andrews insisted they take him along with them.
19:47And where'd they take you?
19:49To the Rancho Diablo.
19:50Where did they take you along?
19:52To make Corporal Gonzalez think he ran away because he was guilty.
19:56And you escaped from this ranch?
19:58I heard the one they called Blackie say there is a reward of a thousand pesos.
20:01Dead or alive.
20:03I was afraid they would kill me and deliver my body to the rurales.
20:07So I ran away.
20:08I did not know which way to turn.
20:10So I came here, to the cantina.
20:12And where's the knife?
20:15The knife, the strong box, everything is there.
20:18At the Rancho Diablo.
20:20We better take a ride out there.
20:22I agree with you, Senor Cassidy.
20:24But first, I think I better lock up Soledad in the carcer.
20:28You know, Senor, a bird in the hand?
20:31Yeah.
20:32If you don't mind, Red and I'll go ahead. You come out as soon as you can.
20:35Si, Senor.
20:37And don't worry, you won't be in jail long.
20:39Muchas gracias.
20:42A more dilapidated, run-down outfit than the Rancho Diablo we had never seen.
20:55Only one horse was in evidence.
20:57And as Manuel had told us that only the three men were hiding out there,
21:01Red and I assumed we had to reckon with the man whom I had wounded earlier in the day.
21:05Red and I said,

23:12You all right?
23:42Ah, good work, Red.
24:10Well, we got one dead and two live killers.
24:13They should be worth better than 300 pesos a piece to Manuel.
24:17You can hobble on that again, Migo.
24:19Hey, that ain't bad Spanish for a beginner, eh?
24:22Not bad, but I wouldn't say it was good.
24:24Come on.
24:24Gracias.
24:28If not for you, amigos, my muchacho might not be dead.
24:32¿Verdad, Manuel?
24:33SÃ, madre mÃa.
24:35And they have made it possible for you soon to see again.
24:38¿Qué has dicho?
24:45What is this paper?
24:46A bank draft for 1,000 pesos.
24:48It is the reward for the capture of those murderers.
24:52Mil pesos.
24:54Gracias.
25:00Goodbye, senor.
25:02Goodbye.
25:02Goodbye.
25:09Bye.
25:10Bye bye.
25:10Bye bye, my friend.
25:12Goodbye, amigo.
25:16Goodbye.
25:17Goodbye.
25:19Adios.
25:21Muchas gracias.
