00:00Here he comes, here he comes, there's a trumpet, and a drum, here he comes, on the Lump Cassidy, here he comes.
00:15We were a little saddled tired having been constantly on the move for three days, no rest for me nor for my partner and the horses.
00:34The trail had been long and weary, but I knew that Red and I were nearing the end of our destination when we rode into the windy and dusty Mexican village of San Pablo.
00:48We were after a killer, Sam Chapman, who had fled across the border after swindling and shooting a friend of ours.
00:55We'd never seen Chapman, all we knew was his name, and that he had a peculiar crescent-shaped scar on his right cheek.
01:04The trail had been hot and cold, but our break came when a sheep herder told us of seeing an Americana with such a scar in San Pablo.
01:23I stopped to Mexican, told him I was a U.S. marshal, and asked where we could find Chapman.
01:29But when I described the scar, he looked to me sort of frightened and then scurried away.
01:34The same thing happened when I asked a woman.
01:57And then again when I questioned the boy.
01:59What do you make of this, Harvey? You think we had the severe itch?
02:05Well, if you don't put scratch in, I think we have.
02:09Go over here to the cantina. Maybe there's somebody in there that isn't afraid to talk.
02:13Let's go.
02:31Let's go.
02:33Let's go.
02:42Buenos dias, amigo.
02:44Oh, buenos dias.
02:46Welcome, señores.
02:47What is your pleasure?
02:48A little information, if you don't mind.
02:50Then you have come to the right place.
02:52I, Jose, am the best informed man in all San Pablo.
02:55Yeah?
02:56Maybe you can tell us where we can find Sam Chapman.
02:59Chapman?
03:00In Americano?
03:01That's right.
03:03He has a scar on his face.
03:04It's shaped like this.
03:06We want to have a talk with him.
03:08There is no such man in San Pablo, señores.
03:10Wait a minute.
03:11Are you sure?
03:14Seguro que si.
03:14I am sure.
03:15Now go back to your country where you belong.
03:17Hey, who do you think you're talking?
03:18Take it easy, Red.
03:21Look out!
03:28Now look what you've done.
03:29Wait a minute.
03:32We didn't come here looking for trouble.
03:34I'm sorry for what's happened.
03:36It is too late to be sorry, señor.
03:39You have to shoot.
03:40Just wing him.
03:40Stop this immediately.
03:41Do you hear me?
03:44Since when do the men of San Pablo act like ill-bred savages?
03:47Put away your knives and go.
03:53Thank you, señorita.
03:54Who are you men?
03:56I'm Hopalong Cassidy, a U.S. Marshal.
03:58Mrs. Red Connors, my deputy.
04:00You are looking for a man with a scar on his face.
04:03Why?
04:04Because he's a killer.
04:05That's not true.
04:06No, he...
04:06Yes?
04:08I think you'd better have a talk with my father.
04:18Don Miguel Alvarez, the wealthiest man in San Pablo and Lola's father, admitted knowing an American with a crescent-shaped scar on his right cheek.
04:27But his name wasn't Chapman.
04:29It was Forrester.
04:31Jim Forrester.
04:32True, señor Cassidy.
04:34It is true that he's also wanted by the American authorities.
04:37Also, my foot.
04:38He's the man we're after.
04:40No, no, señor.
04:41That I'm certain.
04:42Sit down, please.
04:45Senor Forrester first came to San Pablo about two months ago.
04:52He was found on the street, exhausted and feverish.
04:55He was delirious, and he talked about being a wanted man.
05:00Everyone in San Pablo knows this.
05:02But as he recovered his health, the people took him to their hearts.
05:06Not only do they come to him with their troubles, but already, through his knowledge of medicine, he has saved the lives of many.
05:13Then he's a doctor?
05:16Not exactly.
05:18But now you can understand why the people acted like they did.
05:21They would give their very lives for him.
05:24He's quite a man.
05:25Yet he's wanted by the law.
05:28Why?
05:29I think he should tell you that himself.
05:32I'll send for him.
05:33You'll excuse me, please.
05:34Surely.
05:39I did my best for the patient, but he died.
05:42They accused me of malpractice.
05:44I hadn't yet received my doctor's degree.
05:47And so they issued a warrant for my arrest.
05:50Then I fled across the border.
05:52It's not a very nice picture, is it, gentlemen?
05:56Senor Forrester!
05:58Senor Forrester!
05:59El niño está muy malo.
06:01Venga pronto, por favor!
06:02Si, si.
06:03No tenga miedo.
06:05Excuse me, gentlemen.
06:06I'm going with you.
06:12Her little son was taken suddenly ill.
06:19Oh, I see.
06:20Well, senor, are you convinced he's not the man you seek?
06:23Ah, it looks that way.
06:25Well, it's been a pleasure.
06:26The pleasure is mine.
06:27But you mustn't think of leaving yet.
06:30There will be a fiesta the day after tomorrow,
06:32when we honor the patron saint of San Pablo.
06:35You stay as my guest and join in the celebration.
06:37A fiesta?
06:38So we could do with a little fun.
06:40I guess we could at that, Red.
06:41Thank you very much.
06:43Then come.
06:43I'll show you where to stay with your horses.
06:52I hadn't planned on leaving San Pablo yet,
06:55and Dawn Miguel's invitation fitted in nicely with what I had in mind,
06:58to check up a little further on the man who called himself Forrester.
07:02Maybe he was Forrester.
07:05Maybe it was coincidental that he and Chapman had identical scars.
07:09Maybe.
07:10But I wasn't sold.
07:13And what happened the next day while Red and I were riding to town
07:16convinced me that I wasn't just daydreaming.
07:18I had no reason to suspect the two riders heading up the road.
07:44They waved a friendly hand as they passed us.
07:48But something in the way they averted their heads
07:50caused me to glance back at them.
07:52I just came.
07:54Hey, come on!
07:55Yes!
07:57Hey!
07:58Hey!
08:06Hey!
08:07Yay!
08:08Hey!
08:09Hey!
08:09Now hey!
09:11Did you notice they weren't Mexicans?
09:12Yeah.
09:13What do you make of it?
09:14I think Chapman sent them out here to get rid of us.
09:17Chapman?
09:18Yeah, or maybe I should say Forrester.
09:21Forrester?
09:22Well, that doesn't make sense.
09:23I know it doesn't on the face of it.
09:26Well, if Forrester's Chapman, what's he doing in San Pablo?
09:30He's got a reason.
09:31I'm just as sure of that as I am that he's our man.
09:35Come on, let's go.
09:36The streets of San Pablo were transformed in the scenes of rejoicing and celebrating,
09:53all in honor of their patron saint.
09:55Soon they would be dancing, singing, and playing their instruments
09:58as if it would be their last chance of a lifetime.
10:02Red had never seen anything like this.
10:10Many came from outer communities.
10:13All work stopped.
10:14The poor revelers mixed with the townspeople in the marketplace.
10:17Don Miguel told me no fiesta would be complete without contest for the young men.
10:27Skilled horsemen pitting their skill and muscles against the bulls.
10:36A contestant had to rope the animal by its feet and then ride it.
10:40From the untamed mountain regions came the various bands.
10:56Each had their own way of paying homage to the patron saint.
11:00Their dances were handed down over the years.
11:03The weird turns and jumps hadn't changed.
11:05Only the meaning was different.
11:07Now they were no longer worshiping a sun god, fire, a tree, or a rock.
11:13The聞こ lotta Gudruncy will beIST COLONCE.
11:15Seven showers who lived on the moon whoiam near the tower,
11:16the mais hallowed hallowed beheld even while their Kernel well.
11:18It's so unfortunate the ball the darkness illeve.
11:20It has never been given.
11:22Once will land and land.
11:24The three side are known as if it sounds like the old a rock.
11:27A spirit has never been produced and is not taken.
11:28Now the UK is almost taken.
11:33Now the country is looked different based on the world near the moon conocせ room.
11:35What's theworcel are Talibanative?
11:38For those who wouldn't go in for the riding and roping contest,
11:56Don McGill arranged to give the best dancers cash prizes.
12:00Everyone seemed determined to win first money.
12:08The End
12:38But these dancers were not interested in prizes.
13:00They swayed back and forth in rhythm with the music,
13:03giving out messages and a meaning for their people.
13:05A message of prayers and hopes for good crops in the coming year,
13:10just as it hath been in the past.
13:35As darkness came, Don Miguel's hacienda was alive with friends.
13:58His party was the climax of the first day's festivities.
14:01The following morning, all the excitement had left the hacienda.
14:17Servants, children, and guests went into town for the religious procession.
14:22Then one of the servants told us Don Miguel wanted to show us something in the family shrine.
14:26The shrine was a small, windowless room with thick walls and a bolted door.
14:49I can't explain it, but as I looked around, I felt a sudden sense of peace.
14:56And I could see that red, too, was affected by the same feeling.
15:00I could see that red, too, was affected by the other people,
15:01and I was afraid of the same feeling.
15:02I could see that red, too, was affected by the other people.
15:05I could see that red is a keen eye.
15:06I could see that red, too, was theRight of the Shrine closed.
15:11I could see that red and white, too, was the right.
15:22And it's an image of a patron saint carved from a solid hat,
15:26It's an image of a patron saint, carved from a solid piece of emerald.
15:30It has been in the family for centuries. It is believed to have strange powers.
15:35Strange powers?
15:37Yes, of healing the mind.
15:40And it's recorded in our family Bible that two men and a woman saw it come to life.
15:45Happened in Spain many years ago.
15:48Gee, Josefet, that must be worth millions.
15:51It's priceless, my friend. A sacred heirloom.
15:54Only once a year is this shrine entered to remove the image so it can play its part in the fiesta processional.
16:02A bell suddenly rang in my head and I knew why the man who called himself Forrester had remained in San Pablo.
16:10He had heard of the emerald saint and the door that was opened only once a year.
16:15But before I could say anything...
16:17Don't move. Anyone.
16:20What's the meaning of this, senor Forrester?
16:24His name isn't Forrester. It's Chapman. And he's after this emerald saint.
16:28You're right, Cassidy.
16:30I'm sorry, my friends. But I have waited a long time for this day.
16:33Surely you don't think I've hung around this boring town because I liked it.
16:36Or just a doctor. You're poor.
16:38No, don't. Don't take the image. I beg you. If it's money you want, I'll give you 50,000 pesos. I promise.
16:45You're very generous, Don Miguel.
16:47But I think this image, when cut up, will bring close to a half a million dollars.
16:51You would cut it up? Desecrate our patron saint?
16:55I'm sorry, senorita, but I cannot afford to be sentimental.
16:58You will be punished for this. Swifter than you think. I warned you.
17:01I have been warned before, senorita. And now, with your very kind permission, my friends and I will leave you.
17:18You'll never open it. There's a heavy bolt on the outside.
17:22Well, we can try it.
17:27Step back, please. Way back.
17:31Let's go.
17:33Let's go.
17:41Listen to that.
17:43Let's go.
17:44Let's go.
17:48Come on.
17:53Come on, Rich. Let's get our horses.
18:01We picked up Chapman's trail not far from the Hacienda.
18:18Trailing him this time wasn't so easy because he knew we would follow.
18:22He tried every trick in the book.
18:25He ducked back across the border.
18:27In a way, I was glad of that, for on our soil I had full authority.
18:31We spotted their horses near a cabin.
19:01Hey, Hoppy.
19:07What is it?
19:08I told you to see who gets Chapman.
19:10We'll let the law take care of him.
19:13Oh, let me have just one little shot in the leg.
19:16Oh, shucks.
19:25I never have any fun.
19:26We'll...
19:29We're...
19:35We're...
19:36THE END
20:06Hello, Chapman.
20:29It would seem that I underestimated you, Cassidy.
20:32How did you get out?
20:34Where's your other friend?
20:35Don't turn around.
20:41Well, well.
20:42The tables are turned again.
20:44Tie them up.
20:45What's the matter with you?
21:11That voice.
21:14Voice?
21:15What voice?
21:16You have the faith of the people of this community.
21:23Do not destroy that faith.
21:25Sam, what's wrong?
21:27Return this image to its rightful moment.
21:37Overcome evil with good.
21:39I'm taking the image back to Don Miguel.
21:45You're doing what?
21:47Taking it back.
21:49And leave Wilkes and me empty-handed?
21:50Not on your life.
21:51You promise an equal split when you send for us, and I'm going to get mine if...
21:54Why don't you be quiet?
21:56You annoy me.
22:05Look out, Chapman!
22:06Let's get out of here.
22:16What?
22:17Payson!
22:30Go away.
22:33Go away.
22:35Go away.
22:35Go away.
22:36Go away.
22:37Go away.
22:38Go away.
22:40Give me your handkerchief.
23:10Take my gun.
23:22I won't need it now.
23:26I forgot about Cassidy and his pal.
23:28Go back in there and finish him.
23:40How do you like it broken, mister?
23:48One or two places.
24:08Inside.
24:10Red and I had returned the Emerald Saint to Don Miguel,
24:25handed over our prisoners to the nearest sheriff,
24:27and we were now heading back home.
24:30But as we rode along, I couldn't help wondering
24:32what it was that Chapman saw and heard.
24:35Hi there, little partners.
24:41I think you know your mummy is the nicest and the most beautiful woman in the world
24:45and that she loves you very dearly.
24:48So when she asks you to do anything,
24:50don't fuss about it.
24:52Just do it.
24:53For instance,
24:54when she asks you to have a glass of milk,
24:57drink it
24:58and then surprise her by asking for another one.
25:01You try that
25:02and see how much better you both feel.
25:05Now until next week,
25:07so long,
25:08and in the meantime,
25:10watch yourself at the crosswalks, will you?
25:12There goes on his way
25:18Down the moon that trails to where cowboys ran
25:22Hop along, Cassidy
25:26Hop along, Cassidy
25:30He'll return soon again
25:33There's no use to say goodbye until then
25:38Hop along, Cassidy
25:41So long, hop along
25:44Hop along
25:45Hop along
25:49Ha !
25:49Yeah !
25:53Yeah.
25:54Yeah !
25:55Yeah.
25:56Yeah.
25:56Yeah !
25:59Yeah !
26:05Yeah !
