00:03:21Come on, boys.
00:04:01Come here, Burke.
00:04:02I want to talk to you.
00:04:04Did anything happen, Chief?
00:04:06Plenty.
00:04:06Everything's working just as I planned.
00:04:10I met Cassidy on the trail, and I even directed him to the Gonzales Rancho.
00:04:15Get the men together and have them cover the pass from the south.
00:04:18We can be expecting Gonzales along any time now.
00:04:33Con su permiso, Señor Coronel.
00:04:35Is it your pleasure to stay here during the heat of the day?
00:04:37No.
00:04:38My father's rancho is still a long ride to the north.
00:04:40And when one receives a message from Hopalong Cassidy to meet him there on a certain day of this month,
00:04:45Chris, sin falta one meets him there.
00:04:48Especially when he says it is a matter of life and death.
00:04:51Vamanos.
00:04:58You men cover the pass.
00:04:59Whatever you do, take the Colonel alive.
00:05:19Let's go.
00:05:20Domingo, where will we find Senor Gonzales?
00:05:36Gentlemen, I am Carlos Gonzales.
00:05:39My name is Hopalong Cassidy.
00:05:41Welcome to the rancho Gonzales, Senor Cassidy.
00:05:43My son the Colonel has spoke of you so much that I feel I already know you.
00:05:47Thank you, sir.
00:05:48These are my friends, Wendy Halladay and Lucky Jenkins.
00:05:51Caballeros, my home is yours.
00:05:54Pancho, encárgate de los caballos.
00:05:56Well, you better not put those horses away till I have a talk with the Colonel
00:05:58and see why he sent for me.
00:06:00My son sent for you to come here?
00:06:02Yes.
00:06:04But I do not understand, Senor Cassidy.
00:06:06My son is on duty in San Luis.
00:06:08Many days ride to the sand from here.
00:06:10And he's been there for months.
00:06:12That's funny.
00:06:13I got a note from him at the bar 20 about a week ago,
00:06:16asking me to meet him here on the 15th.
00:06:18I said it was a matter of life or death.
00:06:24A matter of life or death indeed, Senor.
00:06:27This countryside for so many years has been so peaceful
00:06:30that one almost wishes the return of the good old days
00:06:33when there was fighting to be done.
00:06:34Maybe there will be.
00:06:36Senor Cassidy, I want you to meet Elena.
00:06:38How do you do?
00:06:40Elena is the self-appointed guardian of the Gonzales family.
00:06:43We greatly appreciate the very interesting issue.
00:06:46And your friends, please.
00:06:47This is Lucky.
00:06:49And where are you?
00:06:50Oh, this is Wendy.
00:06:52It's a pleasure.
00:06:54Senors.
00:07:03ığıill gauge
00:07:13Hi!
00:07:15Find them!
00:07:18Come on, Claudia.
00:07:22Come on, Claudia.
00:07:23Come on, Claudia.
00:07:26Elena, tobaccos.
00:07:28Uh, you will have a smoke, Senor Castillo.
00:07:30No, thanks, I never smoke.
00:07:32Senor Lucky?
00:07:32No, thank you.
00:07:33Well, you will a smoke, no?
00:07:34Yeah, I'll try one.
00:07:38Oh, stogie.
00:07:39Yeah.
00:07:41You know, my son is always speaking about this wonderful horse that you have.
00:07:45Yeah, would you like to see him now?
00:07:47Oh, I would very much.
00:07:48May I?
00:07:49Sure.
00:07:50Chalpipa.
00:07:51Yes, father?
00:07:53Oh, you call her Pugnose.
00:07:54Yes, my pet name.
00:07:56Her name is Anita, my daughter.
00:08:02Anita, I want you to meet the very good friend of your brother's, Senor Hopalong Casati.
00:08:07I am more than delighted to know you, Senor.
00:08:10For hours I have sat and listened while my brother talked of your exploits.
00:08:15He said you were wonderful.
00:08:17Oh.
00:08:20Never has he known such a man.
00:08:23Well, I'm afraid he'd give me a lot the best of it.
00:08:28Oh, no.
00:08:29Oh, yeah.
00:08:31Senora Leeds.
00:08:34And this is the Senora Janet Leeds, a companion of my daughter.
00:08:38She is an American like yourself.
00:08:40How do you do, Mr. Cassidy?
00:08:42How do you do, ma'am?
00:08:44These are my friends, uh, Wendy Halliday and Lucky Jenkins.
00:08:48How do you do, ma'am?
00:08:50How do you do?
00:08:54I don't know what we're down here for, miss, but I'm sure glad we came.
00:08:58He's starting again, Hoppy.
00:09:00Looks like we'll have to rope and hog tie him.
00:09:03Don't pay any attention to him, miss.
00:09:04Well, I mean, Hoppy just brought him along because there wasn't anyone to play nursemaid that can take her so
00:09:08cuss back on the ranch.
00:09:10Well, nursemaid you...
00:09:11Stop it, both of you.
00:09:14Please don't pay any attention to them.
00:09:16This goes on all the time.
00:09:19It don't mean anything, though.
00:09:21They're really the best of friends.
00:09:24Why, Wendy practically raised Lucky.
00:09:27Begins to look like I didn't do a very good job of another.
00:09:30We'd better go see the horse.
00:09:32Would you like to come?
00:09:33Oh, I would love to.
00:09:35Oh, but I'm exchanged for dinner.
00:09:37Perdonenme?
00:09:37Can you, Senora Leeds?
00:09:39Will you come with us?
00:09:40If you don't mind, I think I'll rest a while.
00:09:43I'm not used to strenuous riding.
00:09:46I'll see you all at dinner.
00:09:51Señores?
00:10:06You're wonderful, Elena.
00:10:08Most wonderful, Senorita.
00:10:10Muyo simpatico.
00:10:12He fuma el cigarrozo.
00:10:14Like my first husband.
00:10:15He's just like the Colonel said he was.
00:10:18Big and strong.
00:10:20And handsome.
00:10:22Fine.
00:10:23Strong.
00:10:25Handsome.
00:10:26Even the beard alike.
00:10:28So distinguished.
00:10:29Very beautiful.
00:10:32Very beautiful.
00:10:32Beard?
00:10:33Senor Cassidy has no beard.
00:10:36But Chiquita, I'm not talking a Senor Cassidy.
00:10:40It's a Singaporean.
00:10:42Oh, Elena, otra vez.
00:10:48He reminds me of my fourth husband, Jose.
00:10:53The same pig.
00:10:55See?
00:10:55The same crotch.
00:10:57El mismo valor.
00:11:01Oh, Elena.
00:11:02Oh, why don't you get to me?
00:11:06Michael, don't unsaddle my horse.
00:11:09I've got to ride out again.
00:11:10I, uh, I lost something on the trail.
00:11:28What makes you so sure this Mexican colonel's going to show up?
00:11:31Colonel Gonzales wouldn't ignore a message from Cassidy.
00:11:33And since this is the day of the meeting,
00:11:34we can expect Gonzales along any time.
00:11:36Who can that be?
00:11:39That's my sister.
00:11:58You've come to tell me that Cassidy's arrived at the rancho, haven't you?
00:12:03Yes, I...
00:12:03How did you know?
00:12:05Spoke to him on the trail hours ago.
00:12:06If he'd recognized you, he'd have killed you.
00:12:09My gun was covering him every minute.
00:12:10Well then, why didn't you shoot and get it over with?
00:12:12My dear sister, I refuse to go over that again.
00:12:15We're here because I have a personal score to settle with Cassidy and young Gonzales.
00:12:19And I intend doing it in my own way.
00:12:21Is that understood?
00:12:22Yes, my dear brother.
00:12:23But I do wish you wouldn't make me go through with this.
00:12:27So you're weakening?
00:12:28Please listen to me.
00:12:29What I asked you to do is only for your own good.
00:12:33Have you forgotten the last time you encountered Mr. Cassidy?
00:12:37Reminding me of how close it came to putting a noose around my neck seems to please you.
00:12:40You're mistaken and you know it.
00:12:43Just for revenge, you're willing to sacrifice not only your future but mine.
00:12:46This time I'm not making any mistakes.
00:12:49And while we're on the subject of advice,
00:12:51see that you don't fall for that manufactured smile of Cassidy's.
00:12:53My only interest in Mr. Cassidy is to help you.
00:12:56No, let's do what we have to as quickly as possible and get out of this country.
00:13:02I'm getting so I can't look the Gonzales family in the face.
00:13:05I'll start with young Gonzales first.
00:13:07If you're so anxious to get away, your job is to get Cassidy to my cabin.
00:13:11But don't whatever you do underestimate him.
00:13:13He's very, very smart.
00:13:14I was smart enough to help you escape from prison after he put you there.
00:13:19Just leave my part of the job to me.
00:13:32Let's go.
00:13:32Anything wrong?
00:13:33No.
00:13:34Step by step, I've been making my plans for a year.
00:13:37But suppose this Mr. Cassidy don't stick around?
00:13:39I know Cassidy.
00:13:41When he learns his friend Gonzales has been killed,
00:13:43he'll stay at the rancho until he finds the killer or dies himself.
00:13:46And I'm very sure it will be the latter.
00:13:48You got everything all figured out.
00:13:50You got him?
00:13:54Yeah.
00:13:58That's the Colonel.
00:13:59Come back here.
00:14:19That's the Colonel.
00:14:37Take him out.
00:14:43Take his gun.
00:14:52I've waited almost a year for this meeting, colonel.
00:14:57So, it is the fox who rides again, huh?
00:15:00But this time I hold the trump cards.
00:15:02See? See, it is the fortunes of war.
00:15:05Are you wondering why I didn't kill you when you first rode in?
00:15:08Perhaps I can guess, senor.
00:15:10It was because you wished me to know who was my executioner.
00:15:13Is it not so?
00:15:14Exactly.
00:15:15You see, you and Cassidy outsmarted me once,
00:15:17and I want you to know that I was the smartest after all.
00:15:20Well, who knows, my friend?
00:15:22Even though Gonzales died,
00:15:24there may be others who will prove more smart than you in the end.
00:15:28If there are, you won't be alive to see it happen.
00:15:30It's the luck.
00:15:32The Mexicans, my people, have a saying, senor.
00:15:37Every man he dies sometimes.
00:15:39What difference does it make when?
00:15:42Or where?
00:15:45Or how?
00:15:50Get it over with, senor.
00:16:04Al, come here.
00:16:08As soon as it's dark, you'll ride to the rancher.
00:16:18I'll see.
00:16:52You are divine, when the stars do shine.
00:17:13You are divine, when the stars do shine.
00:17:21You are divine, when the stars do shine.
00:17:33You are divine, when the stars do shine.
00:17:57Oh
00:18:13Oh
00:18:42That is really a beautiful
00:18:46And who is the man you're in love with?
00:18:49Oh, well, that is only in the song.
00:18:57Yes, Father?
00:18:58You must not hire a guest with these songs.
00:19:01Oh, but they're such nice songs, senor.
00:19:04Ah, Elena is calling it. Senora Leeds.
00:19:07Senor Cassidy, you please.
00:19:09It would be a pleasure to have you escort me to dinner.
00:19:12Oh, senora Leeds, oh, you're welcome.
00:19:14Father should have the honor of escorting you together.
00:19:17Senor Leeds, will you please do me the honor?
00:19:20Anita, my daughter.
00:19:30Don Carlos tells me you're from the east.
00:19:33I was raised there. I came down here for my help.
00:19:37You like it here?
00:19:39After six months, I don't think I ever want to go back again.
00:19:42Oh, this part of the country does kind of get under your skin.
00:19:46That's an odd ring you're wearing.
00:19:50It is rather unusual.
00:19:53It's an heirloom.
00:19:54It's been in my family for generations.
00:19:57I've never seen another quite like it.
00:19:59Oh, it is pretty.
00:20:07Senor Leeds.
00:20:09Senor Leeds.
00:20:12I hope my guests will forgive the dinner, the poor dinner we're about to serve.
00:20:17Well, if you will forgive us for the clothes we're wearing, we certainly forgive you.
00:20:21Oh, very well.
00:20:22Then we meet on a 50-50 basis, as you Americanas say.
00:20:25Friendship.
00:20:28Where is your friend, senor Leeds?
00:20:31Why, he's...
00:20:33He's coming.
00:20:36What are you doing?
00:20:37What have you been up to?
00:20:38Who, me?
00:20:38I haven't done anything.
00:20:40Someone took his clothes while he was taking a bath and forgot to bring back his pants.
00:20:47Looks like Wendy's gonna have to eat his dinner in his room.
00:20:51That's what you think.
00:20:51If he says pants or no pants, he's coming down here to find out who took his clothes.
00:20:55Oh, Lucky.
00:20:56Go on, stop him before he...
00:20:59Oh, it's too late now.
00:21:00Here he comes.
00:21:11Look at him, Hoppy.
00:21:12I'm afraid to.
00:21:13Wait a minute.
00:21:14Excuse me, senor.
00:21:15Please.
00:21:21Bless you, Wendy.
00:21:23Do not bless the ears.
00:21:25I'm the guilty one.
00:21:27It was I who took your hands.
00:21:28You took them?
00:21:29Where for?
00:21:30To clean them.
00:21:32I thought it would be nice.
00:21:33They were so dirty, so dusty.
00:21:38Well, bring them back.
00:21:40That is impossible, senor.
00:21:41That I can not do.
00:21:43While I was washing, they fell in the creek.
00:21:46Senor Blowy.
00:21:48Look.
00:21:48My name is Blowy.
00:21:50It's Windy.
00:21:51Windy Holiday Esquart.
00:21:54Senor Windy.
00:21:56You look nice with those clothes.
00:21:58They have a pillow.
00:21:59To my adult husband, Pedro.
00:22:02Pedro, look nice.
00:22:04I feel like a blasted idiot.
00:22:08What did he use this shawl for?
00:22:10A cold night.
00:22:12A mirror.
00:22:14A cold night.
00:22:14Oh, a mother.
00:22:16Why didn't he say so?
00:22:18Senor Windy.
00:22:20You must not feel this way.
00:22:21Oh, look at yourself in the mirror.
00:22:24Oh, I don't want to look in no looking glass.
00:22:31See?
00:22:32This close your arms, Watson.
00:22:40Hey, I look pretty slick, don't I?
00:22:43Just like the Grand Caiero.
00:22:45Yes, sir.
00:22:46You give me a guitar, and I'll be a regular Don Juani,
00:22:50or whatever you call it.
00:22:52A regular Don Juani.
00:22:54Yes, Elena?
00:22:54Yes, sir.
00:22:56Looks more like something that goes with an organ grinder.
00:22:59Hey, are you trying to incinerate nothing?
00:23:01Oh, come on, sit down and eat your dinner.
00:23:04Come on.
00:23:15And now, my American friends, to you I dedicate this toast.
00:23:20May we all know each other a long time, in peace and in happiness.
00:23:27To your health and happiness, sir.
00:23:29Gracias, senor.
00:23:55Windy!
00:23:55Lucky, get on the horse's saddle.
00:23:57And call out Don Carlos' men.
00:23:58Well, what's the matter, senor?
00:23:59What is wrong?
00:24:00I don't know.
00:24:00It might have something to do with the note I got.
00:24:04Ah, senor Cassidy.
00:24:07Well, I do not understand.
00:24:08What is the matter?
00:24:09That's what we're going to find out.
00:24:20I'm all ready for you, happy.
00:24:21All right.
00:24:26Let's go.
00:25:19Now, let's go.
00:25:40My son, he's dead, Senor Cassidy.
00:25:49My son, he's dead, Senor Cassidy.
00:25:51Don Carlos?
00:25:53I'll never rest till I find the man that did this.
00:25:59Wendy?
00:25:59Yes?
00:26:01You ride back to the ranch over Don Carlos?
00:26:03Yes, honey.
00:26:05Lucky.
00:26:06You and some of the boys come with me.
00:26:07We'll see if we can pick up a trail.
00:26:10I think it is useless tonight, Senor Cassidy.
00:26:13In the nearby mountains, there are many places
00:26:15an army could hide from once.
00:26:19It won't work to have a look around anyhow.
00:26:47You only had a little bit of a trail.
00:26:50What a lot of me!
00:26:51We had a little bit of a very good night.
00:26:52They were really good.
00:26:55They were really good.
00:27:05You, Captain.
00:27:07Hoppy?
00:27:08You go ahead, I'm going to pick my saddle.
00:27:10All right.
00:27:31Mr. Gargioli, I'm going to take a look at him.
00:27:38Mr. Gargioli...
00:27:44You have found the trail?
00:27:47No, senor.
00:27:50The work that lived up was too smart to leave in the tracks.
00:27:53But we're not beaten yet.
00:27:56I found a note to the colonel, like the one I got,
00:27:59telling him to meet me here.
00:28:02I didn't send that.
00:28:03Oh, but they can tell you nothing.
00:28:06They know it.
00:28:12It tells me this.
00:28:14That whoever got the colonel is out to get me too.
00:28:19Your boy was trying to tell us something last night
00:28:22when he wrote those letters Z-O-R in the sand.
00:28:27Did you ever know anyone whose name started with Z-O-R?
00:28:32No.
00:28:35Are there a lot of Spanish words that start with Z-O-R?
00:28:39Z-O-R?
00:28:40Yeah, I know that one.
00:28:43Some kind of a bird, like a thrush.
00:28:46But I don't see whether they have anything to do with that kid.
00:28:49Z-O-R and G-O-R is meaning heavy and lazy.
00:28:54And there's Z-O-R, meaning fox.
00:28:57Wait a minute.
00:29:00Z-O-R.
00:29:02Fox.
00:29:06I wonder...
00:29:09Have you seen any strangers in this part of the country lately?
00:29:12No.
00:29:21How well do you know the people in your household?
00:29:24That is, I mean, all of them.
00:29:26Oh, as well as I know myself.
00:29:28They've been with me for years.
00:29:33This Mrs. Leeds, uh...
00:29:37Oh, Senora Leeds, no.
00:29:39She can well recommend it.
00:29:41Good letters.
00:29:42But about a year ago,
00:29:43while your boy was still working for the Mexican Secret Service,
00:29:48he came north across the border.
00:29:50And between the two of us, we tracked down a killer called the Fox.
00:29:59And the Fox had a sister.
00:30:16And the Fox had a sister.
00:30:26There's a girl who came out of school,
00:30:27Oh, hello.
00:30:31These flowers are lovely.
00:30:35Your being here this time is such a blessing for these poor people.
00:30:43How is Miss Anita?
00:30:45I haven't seen her lately.
00:30:47The poor Char is heartbroken.
00:30:50But she's sure you'll bring in the man who killed her brother.
00:30:53I do hope you can do something about it.
00:30:56I don't know.
00:30:58So far, I haven't a single lead to follow.
00:31:02I guess about the only thing to do is to investigate the people that work for Don Carlos.
00:31:07One of them might have had a personal grudge against the colonel.
00:31:11The colonel might have had enemies in some other part of Mexico.
00:31:15Maybe they trailed him as he rode north.
00:31:17That's an idea to work on.
00:31:21You know, sometimes you women have funny hunches at that.
00:31:25We women call it intuition.
00:31:27If I can help you in any way, Mr. Cassidy, I'll be glad to do so.
00:31:31I might call on you at that.
00:31:33I like the way you figure things out.
00:31:36You can depend on me if you need me.
00:31:39Thanks.
00:31:41Maybe between the two of us, we can figure a way to get a rope around the neck of the
00:31:46man that killed the colonel.
00:31:50I'll do all that I can.
00:31:54I'd bet on that.
00:31:57And, uh, if you'll excuse me now, I think I'll go and see how neat it is.
00:32:17I'll go and see how you feel.
00:32:18Now then, Senora Cassidy, that you have spoken with the Senora Leeds,
00:32:21are you not convinced that she had nothing to do with the killing of my son?
00:32:24I'm not convinced one way or the other yet.
00:32:27But I've got a hunch that she knows more about this than any of us.
00:32:30Well, then let's go and make a talk.
00:32:31Just a minute.
00:32:33He promised to let me handle this my way.
00:32:36Now, she is the fox assistant.
00:32:38He's hiding around here someplace.
00:32:40You'd only be sending him a warning if you started anything with her.
00:32:43I'm beginning to see where you are right.
00:32:46But how then do you expect to drag down the fox?
00:32:48In this country, it's almost impossible.
00:32:49I know that.
00:32:50That's why I've got to play a waiting game and watch every move she makes.
00:32:54And if my guess isn't too far wrong,
00:32:56sooner or later, she'll play me right into the hands of the fox.
00:33:10I've kept a lookout across from the ranch for the last four days.
00:33:14And nobody's left the place.
00:33:15Better get back.
00:33:21Watch ten days if you must.
00:33:22Something will happen.
00:33:26Say, you don't think this sister of yours has slipped up in some way?
00:33:29Slip up?
00:33:30Janet?
00:33:31Maybe she's sweet on him.
00:33:33She's smarter than any of us.
00:33:35You just get back on your horse and keep your eye on the ranch house.
00:33:38When Janet's sure the time's ripe, you'll get the signal.
00:33:51Now, my advice is to do like we've always done.
00:33:54Get a bunch together, comb the country, and find out who done it.
00:33:58But, Wendy, we're playing a different kind of a game this time.
00:34:07Don't let anybody have a horse with that ass can be first.
00:34:10That goes for everybody.
00:34:12Understand?
00:34:12Si, senor.
00:34:13Of course, he means everybody but me, Pancho.
00:34:15Yeah, and me.
00:34:17That goes for everybody.
00:34:19Oh, yeah.
00:34:20Especially you two.
00:34:23Since when can I take a horse without asking somebody if I can?
00:34:26Since right now.
00:34:27How do we know that what the man that got the colonel is still hiding out there in the brush
00:34:31waiting to take a pot shot at us?
00:34:33Now, think that over.
00:34:38Yeah, well, I can take care of myself.
00:34:41I'm afraid of nobody taking a pot shot at me.
00:34:43Now, let me tell you something, you young squirt.
00:34:45When Hoppy starts to get worried about something, it's time for everybody to get worried.
00:35:17Elena, I do not understand this Americano Cassidy.
00:35:20First, he tells me no one must have a horse without first telling him.
00:35:24Then, tonight, he tells me if the senora Liz wishes a horse, I should let her have a horse.
00:35:30Maybe he wishes to ride with her alone in the moonlight.
00:35:36Perhaps, great love comes to him.
00:35:39He thinks I don't see.
00:35:40But all night is there where he can watch the window of senora Liz.
00:35:47My love is so nice, and no one knows more than me.
00:35:52Maybe so, Bedwin, but when one is out to revenge the murder of one's friend, love must be forgotten.
00:35:59Si, seguro, Panchito, but the love is much better.
00:36:10Why not, Panchito?
00:36:49It's all very pleasant having you with me so much.
00:36:52It's not helping your reputation around here, Hoppy.
00:36:55Maybe I find it more interesting being here with you
00:36:57than running around the country on a wild goose chase.
00:37:00Is that supposed to be a compliment?
00:37:01You can take it any way you'd like.
00:37:08Siento en mi corazón, lilla de umbranquiereo.
00:37:19Oye mi nebra linda, escúchame cantar.
00:37:32Oye mi corazón, lilla de umbranquiereo.
00:37:42Oye mi corazón.
00:37:42Your friend Cassidy is a far better Romeo than a hunter of men.
00:37:50I feel just like a bull in a china closet.
00:37:53You look more like a lamb doing this.
00:37:55Don't ever say that to a cattleman.
00:37:57Oh, I forgot.
00:38:00Hoppy, I've got something I want to say to you.
00:38:02Go right ahead and say it.
00:38:05All right, I will.
00:38:08How much longer are we going to sit around here without doing anything?
00:38:11What are you trying to say?
00:38:13Well, just us people on this ranch are talking about it.
00:38:16They say we're quitters. We're laying down on the job.
00:38:18Yeah, so I've heard.
00:38:20What do they expect me to do? I've done about everything I can.
00:38:23Well, you could at least be out trying instead of sitting around here talking to her.
00:38:26You'll shed your little piece now.
00:38:27No, I ain't, Hoppy.
00:38:29If you ain't willing to try, I'll see what me and Wendy can do.
00:38:32Lucky, come here.
00:38:36You'll do nothing of the kind.
00:38:37You're going to stick right with me until I tell you different.
00:38:40We're giving up and heading back for home.
00:38:44Hoppy, you don't mean that.
00:38:45I mean just that.
00:38:47That's the trouble with you, kid.
00:38:48You never know when you're up against something that's got you beat.
00:38:51Well, if you think I'm going to stay here...
00:38:52That's enough. Now get.
00:38:58Kids are so excitable.
00:39:00I say they're all alike.
00:39:02And you don't think it's worthwhile continuing the search?
00:39:05Is that it, Hoppy?
00:39:06Well, it amounts to about that.
00:39:08I hate to admit it, but I know when I'm beat.
00:39:10You're not admitting that, are you, Hoppy?
00:39:12Just like I told Lucky.
00:39:13No sense in me sitting around pounding my head up against a blank wall.
00:39:17We might just as well head for home.
00:39:20Get back, get back, get back, get back.
00:39:23Oh, it's those Americans, maybe my little homing-e-purgerset.
00:39:27Oh, the senor...
00:39:27Ah, pobrecita.
00:39:29Los americanos están malos, están perversos.
00:39:31The senor Cassidy doesn't know to...
00:39:43Now you tell me.
00:39:44The senor Cassidy does not care whether I sing or not.
00:39:48Or whether he finds a man who killed my brother or not.
00:39:52But the coroner was very fond of the senor Cassidy.
00:39:56And you must not lose the confidence on him.
00:40:01I'm afraid it's too late.
00:40:04Marquis.
00:40:11Now, go wash your little face and be a fruity again.
00:40:16All right, Elena.
00:40:18I remember, the world was not made for one man alone.
00:40:23All right.
00:40:24But I'm still afraid it's too late.
00:40:28Well, maybe we could, uh,
00:40:31take a last ride together and talk things over.
00:40:33I was hoping you'd say something like that.
00:40:36We'll leave right off to lunch.
00:40:38Good.
00:40:38You know, I think I'll change into my riding clothes now,
00:40:40and then I'll be ready.
00:40:41All right.
00:40:42Goodbye.
00:40:48Get a saddle on your horse, Wendy.
00:40:49They talk about Hoppy if they want to,
00:40:51but they're not going to talk about me.
00:40:52We'll do a little trailing of our own.
00:40:54Take it easy, son.
00:40:55Hoppy give orders.
00:40:56Yeah, well, orders are no orders.
00:40:57Just because he's laying down on his job,
00:40:59it's no sign I'm going through.
00:41:00Oh, he knows what he's doing.
00:41:02He's smarter than we are.
00:41:03Yeah, well, maybe so.
00:41:05But I never saw a man yet that was so smart
00:41:06that some woman couldn't make a fool out of him.
00:41:08Well, I hate to admit it,
00:41:10but it looks like you're right for once in your life.
00:41:14Senor Cazari!
00:41:17Senor Cazari!
00:41:25What is it, Pancho?
00:41:26Senor Lucky is standing in the horse.
00:41:35Senor Cazari!
00:41:35Well, he's not telling me what to do.
00:41:42Where do you think you're going?
00:41:43I don't know past where they got the colonel.
00:41:45I might be able to pick up a trail.
00:41:47I got my own reasons for not wanting you to go out there.
00:41:49Why don't you stick with me and play the game my way?
00:41:51We have seen how you play the game your way, Senor Cazari.
00:41:55It is fortunate for my family there is one man among you.
00:41:59That's just what I was thinking.
00:42:01I don't care what you think.
00:42:02You're not going out there.
00:42:03Who says I'm not?
00:42:04I say you're not.
00:42:05Now get off of that horse.
00:42:07Senor Cazari is very brave.
00:42:09When he comes to ordering his own men around.
00:42:11Well, he's not ordering me.
00:42:13I said you're not going.
00:42:14Now get off of that horse.
00:42:15Try and make me.
00:42:19You try that again.
00:42:20Hop in, I'll knock you down.
00:42:34And I'll get the saddle off of that horse.
00:42:40So the great Cassidy has made a coward even of you.
00:42:44Well, he can tell everybody else what not to do,
00:42:46but he can't tell me.
00:42:49If there's no one else to find a man who killed my brother,
00:42:52I will do it myself.
00:42:55Anita, stop!
00:43:03I'm sorry.
00:43:03I'm sorry.
00:43:10I just got in.
00:43:15I'm sorry.
00:43:17I am sorry.
00:43:17I'm sorry.
00:43:18I'll go ok.
00:43:18You can't go out there.
00:43:24I'll go down there.
00:43:31That's the Gonzales girl.
00:43:34And that's Cassidy riding after him.
00:43:37What's up?
00:43:38I don't know yet.
00:43:47Well, I had to go away like this.
00:43:49You're riding into danger.
00:43:50The man we're looking for is hiding out here somewhere.
00:43:58Come on, sit down here.
00:44:04Sit down.
00:44:12Never mind that.
00:44:16I'm doing the best I can, but I've got to do it in my own way.
00:44:20How?
00:44:20By waiting and making love to the Signora Leeds?
00:44:24If it were you who had been killed,
00:44:26my brother would not sit idly by letting a woman make a fool of him.
00:44:30Oh, I... I hate you.
00:44:34I'm not letting your brother down.
00:44:36I got an idea we're gonna have the man we're looking for before the day is over.
00:44:39How?
00:44:40By sitting on the veranda with the Signora Leeds until it is time to leave for your home?
00:44:44Listen, Anita, I know the way I'm handling this job don't look right to anybody.
00:44:48But the Colonel trusted me to do my best.
00:44:51Won't you?
00:44:53Please.
00:44:55Oh, oh, I do trust... I want to trust you.
00:44:58But I'm... I'm all mixed up.
00:45:00You tell the Signora Leeds one thing and you tell me another.
00:45:03Well, never mind what I say or what I do.
00:45:05You keep right on trusting me.
00:45:07And don't you say anything to anybody.
00:45:09You have an idea it was someone at the rancho?
00:45:12No, we won't find him there.
00:45:13I got an idea he's hiding out someplace around the past here.
00:45:16Then why don't you take my father's men and hunt him down?
00:45:20But he's too smart to be taken that way.
00:45:22He'd only burrow in deeper here and we'd never find him.
00:45:24That's why I got to play a lone hand.
00:45:27I do trust you.
00:45:29I'm sorry for all those things I said to you, Signor.
00:45:33Signor Hopi, please forgive me.
00:45:37Oh, forget it.
00:45:38Now what did I tell you to remember?
00:45:39Oh, you told me to forget to say... not to...
00:45:42What to say? Nothing to anybody.
00:45:44That's right. Come on.
00:45:47Hey, what about your horse?
00:45:49Oh, he's gone, but he'll come back.
00:45:51I go with you.
00:45:52Oh, no. Is that what you said?
00:45:54Oh, it's well done. Come on up.
00:45:57I can pick him off without any trouble, Chief.
00:46:00It'd be safer all around.
00:46:02I can't miss from here.
00:46:03Yes, it would be safer.
00:46:06But there's a few things I want to say to Cassidy before I settle with him.
00:46:10And I won't even let's go this way unless I have to.
00:46:19I told you there's no use riding all over the country for nothing.
00:46:22If I couldn't pick up a trail, it's a sure thing you couldn't.
00:46:26I will never forgive you for making me come back this way. Never.
00:46:42You've turned that child against you, Hoppy.
00:46:45Why didn't you let her go if she wanted to?
00:46:48Well, I gave orders that nobody was to do any riding without my permission.
00:46:52And no one's heard me change that order.
00:46:55Then do you still think that the killer might be hiding nearby?
00:46:59No, it's not that.
00:47:01It's just that when I give orders, I like to have him obeyed.
00:47:04Now that everybody understands that, they can do all the riding they want, wherever they want.
00:47:09You always insist on having your own way, Hoppy?
00:47:12Well, mostly.
00:47:14You know, I'm beginning to understand why you always accomplish whatever you set out to do.
00:47:20Fine.
00:47:21And don't forget we're going riding right after lunch.
00:47:23Are we ready whenever you are?
00:47:25You know, if I had my way, I'd like to go right now.
00:47:28All right.
00:47:29I'll go get my riding clothes on.
00:47:31Fine.
00:47:35Come on.
00:47:36Where are you going, Signor Locky?
00:47:38Back home.
00:47:39He'll think I'm going to stay here and let Hoppy treat me the way he's doing.
00:47:42Come.
00:47:44Come.
00:47:46We're both the same kind of food, Locky, you and I.
00:47:50What are you doing? Siding in with Hoppy now?
00:47:52Well, you can if you want to. I'm through.
00:47:55Listen to me.
00:47:56We promised not to tell, but Signor Cassidy is playing a game.
00:48:01I should not tell you this.
00:48:03Well, I mustn't let you leave this way.
00:48:06What do you mean?
00:48:09Signor Cassidy told me what he's doing.
00:48:11Now I understand.
00:48:13You see, it's this way.
00:48:18It's this way.
00:48:23It's this way.
00:48:26It's this way.
00:48:26Gosh, Anita, I feel like a darn fool.
00:48:29I should have known Hoppy was doing the right thing.
00:48:31I'm going with him.
00:48:33Oh, no.
00:48:33Senor Cassidy says he must go alone.
00:48:36Yeah.
00:48:37Maybe so.
00:48:39But I'm going to keep an eye on him.
00:48:40Back him up just in case he needs me.
00:48:43Oh.
00:48:44There's an old Adobe overlooking the past.
00:48:47We can hide there and watch in case he needs us.
00:48:50We?
00:48:51Of course.
00:48:52You and I.
00:48:53I guess you'd have gone.
00:48:56I just didn't have you back me up as anybody.
00:48:58But, but, suppose Hoppy finds out.
00:49:00Oh, he need not know.
00:49:01We can sneak into the barn and get the horses and sneak out the back way.
00:49:05Come on.
00:49:05Let's go.
00:49:09Come on.
00:49:09So you think that scar from the window is the signal, eh?
00:49:13Yeah.
00:49:14Let us get started.
00:49:15You follow it.
00:49:16I'll keep out of sight.
00:49:18I'll be hearing a shooting, come or running.
00:49:20You can depend on me, Hoppy.
00:49:22I know I can, old timer.
00:49:24That's why I left this part of the job for you.
00:49:30There's the signal.
00:49:34Hurry back the cabin, tell the men to take up their positions.
00:49:37Warn them I want Cassidy taken alive.
00:50:10Let's go.
00:50:11You know more about this part of the country than I do.
00:50:13Is there any particular place you'd like to ride?
00:50:15You won't think I'm foolish, Hoppy, if I ask you to do something, will you?
00:50:18Anything you say is all right with me.
00:50:20Go ahead and ask.
00:50:21If only for appearance sake.
00:50:23I wish you'd have one more look around and see if you can pick up some clues.
00:50:26I don't want the people at the rancho looking down on you.
00:50:29And, uh, they think you're giving us a chance.
00:50:31I don't think you're getting up too easily.
00:50:32Well, so long as you feel that way about it, I'm willing.
00:50:35Say, maybe if you'd use some of that intuition stuff you've been telling me about,
00:50:39I might be able to pick up a trail.
00:50:41Where do you suggest I start looking?
00:50:43Well, you can laugh at woman's intuition if you want to.
00:50:46But if I were you, I'd head south through the pass.
00:50:49Well, it's south through the pass we go.
00:50:51I'm not banking on finding anything, yet, uh, maybe you're right.
00:50:55Maybe we will find something.
00:51:10uh, .
00:51:10Um, I, , seems loose, hoppy.
00:51:13Would you pick the piece?
00:51:14Oh, sure.
00:51:29Hoppy.
00:51:30Yeah.
00:51:31Look, what might have made a good hideout for the killer?
00:51:34Did you ever investigate it?
00:51:36Why, of course not.
00:51:37You don't think anybody be fooling up to hide there.
00:51:41Why not have a look at it now?
00:51:43Perhaps we can pick up some crew.
00:51:46I'm going to, as soon as I take you back to the rancho.
00:51:49Oh, I'm not afraid of danger, as long as you're with me.
00:51:55Well, it's not just that.
00:51:57It's, uh, well, it's just that I'm
00:52:00not hankering to get down there.
00:52:03The fox's sister holding a gun at my back.
00:52:05Get your hands up.
00:52:09You're clever, Cassidy.
00:52:11Almost as clever as my brother said you were.
00:52:14How did you know I was the fox's sister?
00:52:16That ring you're wearing belongs to the wife of a friend of mine
00:52:20whose ranch was raided with a fox a couple of years back.
00:52:23You never overlook a bet, do you?
00:52:26Not if I can help it.
00:52:28That's why I didn't chance this thing alone.
00:52:31All right, boys.
00:52:32Keep her covered and grab that gun.
00:52:39Can I put him down now?
00:52:41All right, Cassidy.
00:52:42You win.
00:52:44What's your next move?
00:52:46Well, I'm going to take you back to the rancho,
00:52:48then I'm coming back and have a look at that adobe.
00:52:50I feel quite sure that the fox is down there waiting for me.
00:52:54And I suppose you'll fix it so that I'll spend the rest of my life in a Mexican prison.
00:52:58Oh, no.
00:53:00I never make war on women.
00:53:03Then you'll give me a chance?
00:53:06Well, maybe if you made up your mind to head back north across the border,
00:53:11that is, after everything is settled,
00:53:13I'd be looking the other way.
00:53:15If you'd been anybody else, Cassidy, I...
00:53:19Yes.
00:53:21I might have taken a great liking to you.
00:53:24But all your courage and your cleverness...
00:53:27won't help you any.
00:53:31Now my brother has a gun aimed at your back.
00:53:34You wouldn't expect me to fall for the same trick, did you?
00:53:37This is not a trick, Cassidy.
00:53:38Don't move.
00:53:40Why didn't you shoot while you had the chance, Fox?
00:53:42I wanted to be sure you knew it was I who was evening things between us.
00:53:46Well, now that I know, you might as well get it over with.
00:53:48It won't be as simple as all that.
00:53:51Once you almost put a rope around my neck,
00:53:53this time I'm going to put one around yours.
00:53:56Johnnett, get down and take his guns.
00:54:14I'm looking the other way.
00:54:15You better head for the border.
00:54:24All right, get up on your feet.
00:54:31Take your time, Fox.
00:54:34I hear the shot, Hoppy, and I've come running.
00:54:37So you got him, eh?
00:54:38Yeah.
00:54:39And look what I got him with.
00:54:45Well, I'll be doggone if it ain't the Fox.
00:54:48I thought they hung you up in Arizona a year ago.
00:54:51Well, you got away from him, Wendy,
00:54:52but we'll get a rope around his neck this time.
00:54:55Eh, it's better late than never.
00:54:57Get a rope.
00:54:58He's going back to the ranch.
00:55:00Yeah, if he makes one false move,
00:55:01he ain't going to live to hang.
00:55:03Get going.
00:55:16Put down that gun.
00:55:17Cassidy will be heading this way in a minute,
00:55:18and the shot would warn him that something's wrong.
00:55:22We can watch the pass from that old adobe.
00:55:24And if anything happens, we can warn Hoppy by shooting.
00:55:27We'd better leave our horses here.
00:55:29You think you'd make it?
00:55:31Ha!
00:55:31You just try and beat me.
00:55:40We'll grab them when they get down here.
00:55:45Somebody lives here.
00:55:46No, no, it's just the place for my father's work.
00:55:49My niece, no.
00:55:49What is it?
00:55:50There's somebody in that brush.
00:55:52Come out of there, you with your hands up.
00:55:54Steve, with your hands up.
00:55:56Mike!
00:56:05Wait a minute.
00:56:11But you need unlucky.
00:56:12So you haven't won yet, Cassidy.
00:56:15It's my life against that of Miss Gonzales and your friend.
00:56:18Oh, no, it ain't.
00:56:19Come on, Winnie.
00:56:20We've got to help them.
00:56:21And you're coming with her.
00:56:37Winnie!
00:56:38Oh, I'm all right, Hoppy.
00:56:40Just pick me a little.
00:56:41Keep on going.
00:56:44This is another one added to your score.
00:56:47You've got to get that thing tended to.
00:56:48You think you can make it back to the ranch, all right?
00:56:50Are you worried about this?
00:56:51I'm going around with you.
00:56:53You're doing nothing of the kind.
00:56:54You're riding back and going to Don Carlos.
00:56:56Now, get.
00:56:56Listen, Hoppy, I don't...
00:56:58Wendy, you've got to do this for me.
00:56:59Get back and tell Don Carlos we need help.
00:57:02Come on.
00:57:15Hold it.
00:57:16Until you get a better shot at Cassidy, you might hit the boss.
00:57:22Say, how about the old man that whispers?
00:57:46We better make a run for him.
00:58:06Go on, it's plenty of your own flesh, you ought to like them.
00:58:32I'm sorry for the way I acted, Hoppy, now I know why you didn't want me riding out here.
00:58:37Oh, forget it, we all make mistakes once in a while.
00:59:03Hoppy, they've got us almost surrounded.
00:59:04This time, your number's up.
00:59:07Don't go betting on it.
00:59:22Don Carlos, Don Carlos.
00:59:29Don Carlos, Don Carlos!
00:59:37You're wounded, you are wounded.
00:59:39Never mind me, Cassidy surrounded in them hills up to the old Adobe.
00:59:44Get your men and ride.
00:59:45Uh, Pancho.
00:59:47Well, that's all the men.
00:59:51Now, guys, let's go!
01:00:07It's just a scratchy thing.
01:00:17Let's go!
01:00:40Oh, I hit him!
01:00:47Let's go!
01:01:0144.
01:01:02Why don't you give up? You've only four shots left.
01:01:07I'm willing to drive a bargain.
01:01:09If you surrender, I promise to let Miss Gonzales and your friend go safely back to the ranch.
01:01:13And as you already know, I keep my promises.
01:01:15Keep quiet, you or I'll let you have it.
01:01:18All right, Fox, it's a deal.
01:01:20Call up your men and I'll untie you.
01:01:22No, you don't, Hoppy.
01:01:23This time I'm not taking orders from anybody.
01:01:25I'm sticking right with you.
01:01:27Might as well go down fighting.
01:01:30I know you want to stick with me, Lucky.
01:01:33If there's somebody else, then I'll miss the deal.
01:01:34I'm staying here with you, Senior Cassidy.
01:01:38Nothing could make me leave you here alone.
01:01:40That makes everything worthwhile, Anita.
01:01:42But just the same, you're both going back.
01:01:48All right, Fox, tell your men to quit firing.
01:01:51Hoppy, look!
01:01:59Hold it, Lucky.
01:02:17Hold it,worth.
01:02:18Customers!
01:02:23Move people.
01:02:30The End
01:02:54The End
01:03:22The End
01:03:29The End
01:03:31The End
01:03:42The End
01:03:50The End
01:04:04The End
01:04:06You are men
01:04:07And we certainly owe Wendy a vote of thanks too
01:04:09It hasn't been for him getting through
01:04:10To the game old cuss
01:04:11They will get through bragging about this
01:04:13As far as I'm concerned
01:04:14He can brag all he wants to
01:04:15I'm afraid, Senor Lucky
01:04:17He may not live long enough to tell of this
01:04:19What?
01:04:20Has he hurt that bad?
01:04:21When we left the rancho
01:04:23He was more dead than alive, Senor
01:04:25Lucky, come on!
01:04:40Please be quiet in three weeks, you'll be all right
01:04:44Oh, be quiet, nothing
01:04:46I've got to find out what happened to Hoppy and Lucky
01:05:15I'm glad to see you
01:05:18I'm glad to see you
01:05:26Oh, I've seen you worse off than this, and you pulled through all right.
01:05:29Oh, shucks, Hoppy.
01:05:32They call them scratchy wounds?
01:05:34Why you seen the time when I was a darn full of lead that didn't dare win swimming?
01:05:41Well, Hoppy, as long as he can talk like that, I guess he's worried about him dying.
01:05:46What's the matter? You disappointed?
01:05:48Yeah.
01:05:49Kind of hope maybe I wouldn't have to look after you anymore.
01:05:51You look after me?
01:05:53Why, you young...
01:05:57Just as spiky, I wouldn't die now if it's the last thing I ever do.
01:06:03That's telling him, ain't it, Hoppy?
01:06:05Yeah, that's telling him, old-timer.
01:06:08But it's going an awful long way to get even with him.
01:06:28Now I'm not.
01:06:30Rest, Marcus, let me see you, Andrew.
01:06:30Ha toccy!
01:06:40Ha toccy!
01:06:43Ya toccy!
01:06:47Hey, boy!
01:06:47Hey, Ghana!
01:06:48Yeh, because you bought me it!
