00:01:30Looks like nobody wrecks around here.
00:01:53Well, it's my guess the fork to the right is the one that leads to Gonzales Rancho.
00:01:57Yeah, trail to the right shows the most travel.
00:02:00A coffee? Ain't Wendy smart? He figured that out all by himself.
00:02:03You're darn tootin'. Why, I've been trailin' ever since I...
00:02:09Hey! Are you trying to be sarcastic?
00:02:12You long, lean, hungry-lookin' galoot.
00:02:16We left it for you to decide. We'd probably be ridin' around in circles.
00:02:19Ended up back in the States.
00:02:20Aw, stop it, both of ya.
00:02:23We'll ask this old Mexican woodcutter and make sure.
00:02:26All right, Windbag, here's a chance to show off some of that Mexican palaver you've been braggin' about knowin'.
00:02:31Oh, you think I can, eh? Then you listen.
00:02:35Hey, you! You talk Mexican?
00:02:38Mexican?
00:02:39Yeah, Mexican. Do you talk it?
00:02:41No, sir.
00:02:43That's the most ignorant cuss I ever seen in all my life.
00:02:47He don't even talk his own language.
00:02:49Wendy, you and your education.
00:02:50Well, if you're so darn smart, why don't you talk to him in Mexican?
00:02:53All right, I will. Hey, hombre.
00:02:56Uh, where is the El Rancho of Don Carlos Gonzalez?
00:03:00No sabe.
00:03:01You're right, Wendy. He not only doesn't speak his own language, but he doesn't understand it.
00:03:08Amigo.
00:03:09Que mundo usted, senor?
00:03:10Cual es el camino El Rancho de Don Carlos Gonzalez?
00:03:14Camino a la derecha, senor.
00:03:16Gracias.
00:03:17De nada, senor.
00:03:18He says it's the trail to the right.
00:03:21Come on, boys.
00:03:51Come here, Burke. I want to talk to you.
00:03:54Did anything happen, chief?
00:03:56Plenty. Everything's working just as I planned.
00:04:00I met Cassidy on the trail, and I even directed him to the Gonzalez Rancho.
00:04:05Get the men together and have them cover the pass from the south.
00:04:08We can be expecting Gonzalez along any time now.
00:04:11I'm afraid I can't do that, chief.
00:04:13I'm afraid I can't do that, chief.
00:04:15I'm afraid I can't do that, chief.
00:04:17I'm afraid I can't do that, chief.
00:04:19We'll expect Gonzalez along any time now.
00:04:33Con su permiso, senor coronel,
00:04:35is it your pleasure to stay here during the heat of the day?
00:04:37No, my father's ranch was still a long ride to the north,
00:04:40and when one receives a message from Hopalong Cassidy
00:04:43to meet him there on a certain day of this month,
00:04:45pues, sin falta, one meets him there,
00:04:48when he say 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.
00:05:19Nego, where do we find Senor Gonzales?
00:05:35Gentlemen, I am Carlos Gonzales.
00:05:38My name is Hopalong Cassidy.
00:05:40Welcome to the ranch of Gonzales, Senor Cassidy.
00:05:43My son the colonel has spoke of you so much that I feel I already know you.
00:05:46Thank you, sir.
00:05:47These are my friends, Wendy Halliday and Lucky Jenkins.
00:05:50Caballeros, my home is yours.
00:05:52Pancho, encargate de los caballos.
00:05:55You better not put those horses away till I have a talk with the colonel and see why he sent for me.
00:05:59My son sent for you to come here?
00:06:01Yes.
00:06:03But I do not understand, Senor Cassidy.
00:06:05My son is on duty in San Luis.
00:06:07Many days ride to the sand from here.
00:06:09And he's been there for months.
00:06:11That's funny.
00:06:13I got a note from him at the bar 20 about a week ago asking 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 and death indeed, Senor.
00:06:26This countryside for so many years has been so peaceful
00:06:29that one almost wishes the return of the good old days when there was fighting to be done.
00:06:33Maybe there will be.
00:06:35Senor Cassidy, I want you to meet Elena.
00:06:38How do you do?
00:06:39Elena is the self-appointed guardian of the Gonzales family.
00:06:42We greatly appreciate the very interesting issue.
00:06:45Your friends, please.
00:06:47This is Lucky, and where are you?
00:06:50Oh, this is Wendy.
00:06:51It's a pleasure.
00:06:53Senors.
00:07:02Que guapo eres.
00:07:13Ay, Pancho!
00:07:15Wendy!
00:07:21Muchachos.
00:07:24Elena.
00:07:25Tabacos.
00:07:28You will have a smoke, Senor Cassidy.
00:07:30No, thanks. I never smoke.
00:07:31Senor Lucky.
00:07:32No, thank you.
00:07:33But you will smoke, no?
00:07:34Yeah, I'll try one.
00:07:37Oh, Stewie.
00:07:40You know, my son is always speaking about this wonderful horse that you have.
00:07:44Yeah.
00:07:45Would you like to see him now?
00:07:46Oh, I would very much.
00:07:47May I?
00:07:48Sure.
00:07:49Chatita.
00:07:50Yes, Father?
00:07:52Oh, you call her Pugnol.
00:07:54Yes, my pet name.
00:07:55Her name is Anita, my daughter.
00:08:01Anita, I want you to meet the very good friend of your brothers,
00:08:05Senor Hopalong Cassidy.
00:08:07I am more than delighted to know you, Senor.
00:08:09For hours I have sat and listened while my brother talked of your exploits.
00:08:14He said you were wonderful.
00:08:19Never has he known such a man.
00:08:23Well, I'm afraid he gave me a lot the best of it.
00:08:27Oh, no.
00:08:28Oh, yeah.
00:08:30Senora Leeds.
00:08:33And this is the Senora Janet Leeds,
00:08:35a companion of my daughter.
00:08:37She is an American like yourself.
00:08:39How do you do, Mr. Cassidy?
00:08:41How do you do, ma'am?
00:08:44These are my friends, Wendy Halliday and Lucky Jenkins.
00:08:47How do you do, ma'am?
00:08:50How do you do?
00:08:53I don't know what we're down here for, miss, but I'm sure glad we came.
00:08:57He's starting again, Hoppy.
00:08:59Looks like we'll have to rope him, hogtie him.
00:09:02Don'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
00:09:07that can tank her soul cuss back on the ranch.
00:09:09I'll nursemaid you.
00:09:10Stop it.
00:09:11Both of you.
00:09:14Please don't pay any attention to them.
00:09:16This goes on all the time.
00:09:18It don't mean anything, though.
00:09:20They're really the best of friends.
00:09:23Why, Wendy practically raised Lucky.
00:09:26Begins to look like I didn't do a very good job of it, neither.
00:09:29We'd better go see the horse.
00:09:31Would you like to come?
00:09:32Oh, I would love to.
00:09:34Oh, but I must change for dinner.
00:09:36And you, Senora Leeds, would you come with us?
00:09:39If you don't mind, I think I'll rest a while.
00:09:42I'm not used to strenuous riding.
00:09:45I'll see you all at dinner.
00:09:50Senores.
00:10:05Isn't he wonderful, Elena?
00:10:07Most wonderful, Senorita.
00:10:09Muy simpatico.
00:10:10El fumo, el cigarros.
00:10:12Like my first husband.
00:10:14He's just like the colonel said he was.
00:10:17Big and strong.
00:10:19And handsome.
00:10:21Fine.
00:10:22Strong.
00:10:23Handsome.
00:10:25Even the beard alike.
00:10:27So distinguished.
00:10:29Muy hermoso.
00:10:31Beard?
00:10:32Senor Cassidy has no beard.
00:10:35But, chiquita, I'm not talking to Senor Cassidy.
00:10:39It's a Singaporean.
00:10:41Oh, Elena, otra vez.
00:10:45Chiquita.
00:10:47He reminds me of my fourth husband, Jose.
00:10:52The same beard.
00:10:54The same crotch.
00:10:56El mismo valor.
00:10:58El mismo valor.
00:11:01Ay, Elena.
00:11:02Oh, chiquita.
00:11:06Marcio, don't unsaddle my horse.
00:11:08I've got to ride out again.
00:11:10I lost something on the trail.
00:11:13Bye.
00:11:14What makes you so sure this Mexican colonel is going to show up?
00:11:30Colonel Gonzales wouldn't ignore a message from Cassidy.
00:11:32And since this is the day of the meeting, we can expect Gonzales along anytime.
00:11:35Who can that be?
00:11:37That's my sister.
00:11:44You've come to tell me that Cassidy's arrived at the ranch, haven't you?
00:12:01Yes, I...
00:12:03How did you know?
00:12:04Spoke to him on the trail hours ago.
00:12:06If he'd recognized you, he'd have killed you.
00:12:08My gun was covering him every minute.
00:12:10Why 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 my own way. Is that understood?
00:12:21Yes, my dear brother.
00:12:23But I do wish you wouldn't make me go through with this.
00:12:26So you're weakening?
00:12:28Please listen to me.
00:12:29What I asked you to do is only for your own good.
00:12:32Have you forgotten the last time you encountered Mr. Cassidy?
00:12:36Reminding 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.
00:12:42Just for revenge, you're willing to sacrifice not only your future, but mine.
00:12:46This time I'm not making any mistakes.
00:12:48And while we're on the subject of advice,
00:12:50see that you don't fall for that manufactured smile of Cassidy's.
00:12:53My only interest in Mr. Cassidy is to help you.
00:12:56Now, let's do what we have to as quickly as possible and...
00:12:59and get out of this country.
00:13:01I'm getting so I can't look the Gonzales family in the face.
00:13:05I'll settle 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'll 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.
00:13:31Anything wrong?
00:13:32No.
00:13:33Step by step I've been making my plans for a year.
00:13:36But suppose this Mr. Cassidy don't stick around.
00:13:39I know Cassidy.
00:13:40When he learns his friend Gonzales has been killed,
00:13:42he'll stay at the ranch until he finds the killer or dies himself.
00:13:45And I'm very sure it will be the latter.
00:13:47You got everything all figured out?
00:13:57That's the colonel.
00:13:58I'm back here.
00:14:06Let's go.
00:14:37Pick him up.
00:14:43Take his gun.
00:14:51I've waited almost a year for this meeting, colonel.
00:14:55So, it is the fox who rides again, huh?
00:14:59But this time I hold the trump cards.
00:15:01See?
00:15:02See, it is the fortunes of war.
00:15:05Are you wondering why I didn't kill you when you first rode in?
00:15:07Perhaps I can guess, senor.
00:15:09It was because you wish me to know who was my executioner.
00:15:12Is it not so?
00:15:13Exactly.
00:15:14You see, you and Cassidy outsmarted me once,
00:15:16and I want you to know that I was the smartest after all.
00:15:19Pues, who knows, my friend.
00:15:21Even though Gonzales die,
00:15:23there may be others who will prove more smart than you in the end.
00:15:27If there are, you won't be alive to see it happen.
00:15:30Es la suerte.
00:15:32Los Mexicanos, my people, have a saying, senor.
00:15:36Every man, he dies sometime.
00:15:39What difference does it make when?
00:15:42Or where?
00:15:44Or how?
00:15:50Get it over with, senor.
00:16:02Al, come here.
00:16:07As soon as it's dark, you'll ride to the ranch.
00:16:32Oye, mi negra linda,
00:16:40Escucha mi canto.
00:16:47Lindy, you are divine,
00:16:53When the stars they do shine.
00:16:59Oye, mi negra linda,
00:17:07Escucha mi canto.
00:17:15Bloy, oh men of my dreams,
00:17:21You should be my fifth husband, it seems.
00:17:28Oye, amor de mi vida,
00:17:36Escucha mi canto.
00:17:44Escucha mi canto.
00:17:58Muchachita, vamos bailar,
00:18:00Hoy el ritmo tiene que estar,
00:18:03En esta clave mar,
00:18:05El tiempo, el bongos, bailar sin cesar.
00:18:08Muchachita, vamos bailar,
00:18:10Mira, negro, no puede estar,
00:18:13La gorrión no está rumbita,
00:18:15Muchachita, vente bailar.
00:18:20Las marrazas, chisquichis.
00:18:25El bongos bailar sin cesar.
00:18:27Muchachita, vamos bailar,
00:18:30Hoy el ritmo tiene que estar,
00:18:32En esta clave mar,
00:18:34El tiempo, el bongos, bailar sin cesar.
00:18:39Bravo, negra.
00:18:41That is really a beautiful love song.
00:18:44Oh, thank you.
00:18:45And who is the man you're in love with?
00:18:48Oh, well, that is only in the song.
00:18:56Anita.
00:18:57Yes, father.
00:18:58You must not hire a guest with these songs.
00:19:00Oh, but they're such nice songs, senor.
00:19:03Ah, Elena is calling us.
00:19:05Senora Leeds.
00:19:06Senora Cassidy, you please.
00:19:08It will be a pleasure to have you escort me to dinner.
00:19:11Oh, senor Leeds,
00:19:13Father should have the honor of escorting you to dinner.
00:19:16Senor Lucky,
00:19:17will you please do me the honor?
00:19:19Anita, my daughter.
00:19:29Don Carlos tells me you're from the east.
00:19:32I was raised there.
00:19:33I came down here for my health.
00:19:36You like it here?
00:19:38After six months, I don't think I ever want to go back again.
00:19:41Ah, this part of the country does kind of get under your skin.
00:19:45That's an odd ring you're wearing.
00:19:49It is rather unusual.
00:19:52It's an heirloom.
00:19:53It's been in my family for generations.
00:19:56I've never seen another quite like it.
00:19:58Oh, it is pretty.
00:20:06Senora Leeds.
00:20:08Senora Cassidy.
00:20:11I hope my guest will forgive the dinner,
00:20:14the poor dinner we're about to serve.
00:20:16Well, if he will forgive us for the clothes we're wearing,
00:20:19we certainly forgive you.
00:20:20Oh, very well.
00:20:21Then we meet on a 50-50 basis,
00:20:23as you Americanas say.
00:20:24Friendship.
00:20:27But, where is your friend, senor Windy?
00:20:30Why, he's...
00:20:31Oh, he's coming.
00:20:36What have you been up to?
00:20:37Who, me?
00:20:38I haven't done anything.
00:20:40Someone took his clothes while he was taking a bath
00:20:42and forgot to bring back his pants.
00:20:47Looks like Windy's going to have to eat his dinner in his room.
00:20:50It's what you think.
00:20:51He says, pants or no pants,
00:20:52he's coming down here to find out who took his clothes.
00:20:55Oh, looky.
00:20:56Go on, stop him before he...
00:20:59Oh, it's too late now.
00:21:00Here he comes.
00:21:01Oh, my foot.
00:21:02I didn't find anything on him since I was five, ten years old.
00:21:05Any man that take a man's pants and leave something like this
00:21:07ought to be hung.
00:21:10Look at him, Hoppy.
00:21:11I'm afraid to.
00:21:12Where do I sit?
00:21:13Uh, here, senor.
00:21:14Please.
00:21:21Please, senor Windy,
00:21:22do not place the ears down.
00:21:24I'm the guilty one.
00:21:26It was I who took your pants.
00:21:27You took them?
00:21:28What for?
00:21:29To clean them.
00:21:30I thought it would be nice.
00:21:32They were so dirty, so dusty.
00:21:36Well, bring them back.
00:21:38That is impossible, senor, that I cannot do.
00:21:41While I was washing, they fell in the creek.
00:21:44Senor Blowey.
00:21:46Look, my name ain't Blowey.
00:21:48It's Windy.
00:21:49Windy Holiday Esquire.
00:21:52Oh, senor Windy,
00:21:54you look nice with those clothes.
00:21:56They ever belong to my daughter.
00:21:59My third husband, Pedro.
00:22:02Pedro.
00:22:03Look nice.
00:22:04I feel like a blasted idiot.
00:22:08What did he use this shawl for?
00:22:10For cold nights.
00:22:12Mira.
00:22:13Shake you up.
00:22:14Oh, to muffle her away.
00:22:16Why didn't you say so?
00:22:18Senor Windy, you must not feel this way.
00:22:21Oh, look at yourself in the mirror.
00:22:23Oh, I don't want to look in no looking glass.
00:22:30See?
00:22:32In these clothes, you are most handsome.
00:22:39Hey, I look pretty slick, don't I?
00:22:42Just like the grand guy you're over there.
00:22:45Yes, sir.
00:22:46You give me a guitar and I'll be a regular Don Giovanni,
00:22:49or whatever you call him.
00:22:51A regular Don Juan.
00:22:53Yes, Elena?
00:22:54Si, senorita.
00:22:55Looks more like something that goes with an organ grinder.
00:22:58Hey, are you trying to incinerate something?
00:23:01Oh, come on, sit down, eat your dinner.
00:23:03Come on.
00:23:14And now, my American friends,
00:23:16to you I dedicate this toast.
00:23:19May we all know each other a long time,
00:23:22in peace and in happiness.
00:23:26To your health and happiness, sir.
00:23:28Gracias, senor.
00:23:30Here.
00:23:54Wendy, Lucky, get our horses saddled
00:23:56and call out Don Carlos' men.
00:23:58What is the matter, senor? What is wrong?
00:23:59I don't know.
00:24:00It might have something to do with the note I got.
00:24:04Senor Cassidy.
00:24:06But I do not understand. What is the matter?
00:24:08That's what we're going to find out.
00:24:19I'm all ready for you, Happy.
00:24:21All right.
00:24:22Vamanos, muchachos.
00:24:52Let's go.
00:25:23No.
00:25:40My son.
00:25:42He's dead, senor Cassidy.
00:25:44Don Corliss. I'll never rest till I find the man that did this.
00:25:59Wendy. Yes?
00:26:00Are you right back to the ranch with Don Corliss? Yes, I am.
00:26:05Lucky. You and some of the boys come with me. We'll see if we can pick up a trail.
00:26:10I think it is useless to match a new custody. In the nearby mountains there are many places
00:26:15an army could hide from once. It won't hurt to have a look around anyhow.
00:26:40Copy? You go ahead. I'm going to fix my saddle.
00:27:08All right.
00:27:14Signor Casualty.
00:27:38You have found the trail? No, signor. Whoever did that was too smart
00:27:52to leave any tracks. But we're not beaten yet. I found a note to the colonel like the
00:27:58one I got, telling him to meet me here. I didn't send that.
00:28:04Oh, but that can tell you nothing. The notes. It tells me this, that whoever got the colonel
00:28:17is out to get me too. Your boy was trying to tell us something last night when he wrote
00:28:24those letters Z.O.R. in the sand. Did you ever know anyone whose name started with Z.O.R.?
00:28:32No. Are there a lot of Spanish words that start
00:28:37with Z.O.R.? Yeah. There's sorsal.
00:28:41Yeah, I know that one. Some kind of a bird, like a thrush. But I don't see why that would
00:28:48have anything to do with that case. Soronglon, it means heavy and lazy. And there's
00:28:55sorrow, meaning fox. Wait a minute. Sorrow. Fox. I wonder. Have you seen any strangers
00:29:10in this part of the country lately? No. How well do you know the people in your household
00:29:24that is, I mean, all of them? Oh, as well as I know myself. They've been with me for
00:29:30years. Does Mrs. Leeds...? No, Senora Leeds, no. She comes well-recommended.
00:29:41Good letters. But about a year ago, while your boy was still
00:29:45working for the Mexican Secret Service, he came north across the border. And between
00:29:52the two of us, we tracked down a killer called the Fox. And the Fox had a sister.
00:30:22Oh, hello. These flowers are lovely. Your being here at this time is such a blessing
00:30:39for these poor people. How is Miss Anita? I haven't seen her lately.
00:30:47The poor child is heartbroken. But she's sure you'll bring in the man who killed her
00:30:52brother. I do hope you can do something about it.
00:30:56I don't know. So far, I haven't a single lead to follow. I guess about the only thing to
00:31:03do is to investigate the people that worked for Don Carlos. One of them might have had
00:31:08a personal grudge against the colonel. The colonel might have had enemies in some
00:31:13other part of Mexico. Maybe they trailed him as he rode north.
00:31:18That's an idea to work on. You know, sometimes you women have funny hunches at that.
00:31:25We women call it intuition. If I can help you in any way, Mr. Cassidy, I'll be glad
00:31:30to do so. I might call on you at that. I like the way
00:31:34you figure things out. You can depend on me if you need me.
00:31:39Thanks. Maybe between the two of us, we can figure
00:31:44a way to get a rope around the neck of the man that killed the colonel.
00:31:51I'll do all that I can. I'd bet on that.
00:31:57And if you'll excuse me now, I think I'll go and see how Anita is.
00:32:10Now then, Senor Cassidy, that you have spoken with Senora Leach, are you not convinced that
00:32:23she had nothing to do with the killing of my son?
00:32:25I am not convinced one way or the other yet. But I've got a hunch that she knows more about
00:32:30this than any of us. Well, then let's go and make a talk.
00:32:32Just a minute. You promised to let me handle this my way.
00:32:36Now, she is the fox's assistant. He'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. But how then do you expect to track down the
00:32:48fox? In this country, it is almost impossible. I know that. That's why I've got to play a
00:32:52waiting game and watch every move she makes. And if my guess isn't too far wrong, sooner
00:32:57or later, she'll play me right into the hands of the fox.
00:33:06I've kept a lookout across from the ranch for the last four days, and nobody's left
00:33:15the place. Better get back. Watch ten days if you must. Something will happen.
00:33:24Say, you don't think that sister of yours has slipped up in some way?
00:33:30Slip up? Janet? Maybe she's sweet on him.
00:33:33She's smarter than any of us. You just get back on your horse and keep your eye on the
00:33:37ranch house. When Janet's sure the time's right, you'll get the signal.
00:33:51Now, my advice is to do like we've always done. Get a bunch together, comb the country,
00:33:56and find out who done it. But Wendy, we're playing a different kind of a game this time.
00:34:03Poncho.
00:34:04Si, senor.
00:34:07Don't let anybody have a horse without asking me first. That goes for everybody. Understand?
00:34:12Si, senor.
00:34:13Of course, he means everybody but me, Poncho.
00:34:15Yeah, and me.
00:34:16That goes for everybody.
00:34:18Muy bien.
00:34:19Especially you two.
00:34:22Since when can I take a horse without asking somebody if I can?
00:34:25Since right now. How do we know that what the man that got the kernel is still hiding
00:34:30out there in the brush waiting to take a pot shot at us? Now, think that over.
00:34:38Yeah, well, I can take care of myself. Ain't afraid of nobody taking a pot shot at me.
00:34:43Now, let me tell you something, you young squirt. When Hoppy starts to getting worried
00:34:47about something, it's time for everybody to get worried.
00:34:59Muchos platos, muchas cacerolas, tortilla. Oh, comÃa cansada.
00:35:17Elena, I do not understand this Americano Cassidy. First, he tells me no one must have a horse
00:35:23without first telling him. Then tonight, he tells me if the Senora Leeds wishes a horse,
00:35:28I should let her have one.
00:35:30Maybe he wishes to ride with her alone in the moonlight. Perhaps great love comes to him.
00:35:38He thinks I don't see, but all night he's there where he can watch the window of Senora Leeds.
00:35:47Love is so nice, and no one knows more than me.
00:35:52Maybe so, Edwin, but when one is out to revenge the murder of one's friend, love must be forgotten.
00:35:59Si, seguro, Panchito, but love is much better.
00:36:10Buon appetito.
00:36:16Buon appetito.
00:36:47It's all very pleasant having you with me so much. It's not helping your reputation around here, Hoppy.
00:36:54Maybe I find it more interesting being here with you than running around the country on a wild goose chase.
00:36:59Is that supposed to be a compliment?
00:37:01You can take it any way you'd like.
00:37:16I don't want to.
00:37:20Listen, my beautiful blackbird.
00:37:26Listen to my song.
00:37:33I feel it in my heart.
00:37:40You're afraid Cassidy is a far better Romeo than he is a hunter of men.
00:37:48I feel just like a bull in a china closet.
00:37:51You look more like a lamb doing this.
00:37:53Don't ever say that to a cattleman.
00:37:55Oh, I forgot.
00:37:58Hoppy, I've got something I want to say to you.
00:38:00Go right ahead and say it.
00:38:03All right, I will.
00:38:06All right, I will.
00:38:09How much longer are we going to sit around here without doing anything?
00:38:12What are you trying to say?
00:38:14Just us people on this ranch are talking about it.
00:38:16They say we're quitters. We're laying down on the job.
00:38:19Yeah, so I've heard.
00:38:21What do they expect me to do? I've done about everything I can.
00:38:24Well, you could at least be out trying instead of sitting around here talking...
00:38:27You said your little piece now.
00:38:29No, I ain't, Hoppy. If 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.
00:38:38You're going to stick right with me until I tell you different.
00:38:41We're giving up and heading back for home.
00:38:44Hoppy, you don't mean that.
00:38:46I mean just that. That's the trouble with you kids.
00:38:49You 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...
00:38:53That's enough. Now get.
00:38:58Kids are so excitable.
00:39:01Aren't they? They're all alike.
00:39:03And you don't think it's worthwhile continuing the search?
00:39:06Is that it, Hoppy?
00:39:07Well, it amounts to about that. I hate to admit it, but I know when I'm beat.
00:39:11You're not admitting that, are you, Hoppy?
00:39:13Just like I told Lucky.
00:39:14No sense in me sitting around pounding my head up against a blank wall.
00:39:18I might just as well head for home.
00:39:21¿Qué pasa? ¿Qué pasa? ¿Qué pasa?
00:39:24It's those Americans, Mary, my little...
00:39:26How many birds is that?
00:39:28Pobrecita. Los americanos son tan malos, tan perversos.
00:39:32This señor Cassidy does not...
00:39:35Pobrecita.
00:39:44Now you tell me.
00:39:46This señor Cassidy does not care whether I sing or not...
00:39:49Or whether he'll find a man who killed my brother or not.
00:39:53But the colonel was very fond of the señor Cassidy.
00:39:57And you must not lose the confidence in him.
00:40:01I'm afraid it's too late.
00:40:09Chiquita.
00:40:11Now, go wash your little face and be a prudy again.
00:40:16All right, Liliana.
00:40:19And remember, the world was not made for one man alone.
00:40:23All right.
00:40:25But I'm still afraid it's too late.
00:40:29Well, maybe we could take a last ride together and talk things over.
00:40:34I was hoping you'd say something like that.
00:40:37We'll leave right after lunch.
00:40:38Good.
00:40:39You know, I think I'll change into my riding clothes now and then I'll be ready.
00:40:42All right.
00:40:43Goodbye.
00:40:45Get a saddle on your horse, Wendy.
00:40:47They talk about Hoppy if they want to, but they're not going to talk about me.
00:40:50We'll do a little trailing of our own.
00:40:51Take it easy, son.
00:40:52Hoppy give orders.
00:40:53Yeah, well, orders are no orders.
00:40:55Just because he's laying down on the job, it's no sign I'm going to.
00:40:58He knows what he's doing.
00:41:00He's smarter than we are.
00:41:01Yeah, well, maybe so.
00:41:02But I never saw a man yet that was so smart that some woman couldn't make a fool out of him.
00:41:06Well, I hate to admit it, but it looks like you're right for once in your life.
00:41:12Senor Cassidy!
00:41:13Senor Cassidy!
00:41:14What is it, Pancho?
00:41:15Senor Locke is sanding your horse.
00:41:24Yeah, well, he's not telling me what to do.
00:41:27is finding a horse yeah well he's not telling me what to do where do you think
00:41:43you're going I don't know pass where they got the colonel I might be able to
00:41:47pick up a trail I got my own reasons but not wanting you to go out there why
00:41:50don't you stick with me and play the game my way we have seen how you play
00:41:54the game your way senior Cassidy it is fortunate for my family there is one man
00:41:59among you that's just what I was thinking I don't care what you think
00:42:03you're not going out there who says I'm not I say you're not I'll get off of
00:42:07that horse the senior Cassidy is very brave when he comes to ordering his own
00:42:11man around well he's not ordering me I said you're not going now get off of
00:42:16that horse try and make me you try that again hop in I'll knock you down
00:42:35I'll get the saddle off that horse
00:42:39so the great Cassidy has made a coward even of you well he can tell everybody
00:42:46else what not to do but he can't tell me if there's no one else to find a man
00:42:51who killed my brother I will do it myself
00:43:09what's the Gonzales girl that's Cassidy riding after
00:43:37what's that I don't know yet
00:43:42I guess you're riding into danger the man we're looking for is hiding out here
00:43:53somewhere never mind I'm doing the best I can but I've got to do it my own way
00:44:20how by waiting and making love to the Senora Leeds if it were you who had
00:44:26been killed my brother would not sit idly by letting a woman make a fool of
00:44:31him oh I I hate you I'm not letting your brother down I got an idea we're gonna
00:44:38have the man we're looking for before the day is over how by sitting on the
00:44:42veranda with the Senora Leeds until it is time to leave for your home listen
00:44:46Anita I know the way I'm handling this job don't look right to anybody but the
00:44:50colonel that trusted me to do my best won't you please oh oh I do I want to
00:44:58trust you but I'm all mixed up you tell the Senora Leeds one thing and you tell
00:45:03me another well never mind what I say or what I do you keep right on trusting me
00:45:07and don't you say anything to anybody you have an idea it was someone at the
00:45:12rancho no we won't find him there I got an idea he's hiding out someplace around
00:45:16the pasture then why don't you take my father's men and hunt him down but he's
00:45:21too smart to be taken that way he'd only burrow in deeper here and we'd never
00:45:25find him that's why I got to play a lone hand I do trust you I'm sorry for all
00:45:31those things I said to you senor senor Hopi please forgive me oh forget it now
00:45:39what did I tell you to remember oh you told me forget to say not what to say
00:45:44nothing to anybody that's right come on hey what about your horse oh he's gone
00:45:51but he'll come back I go with you oh no I can pick them off without any trouble
00:46:00chief it'd be safer all around I can't mess from here yes it would be safer
00:46:06but there are few things I want to say to Cassidy before I settle with him and
00:46:11I won't even the score this way unless I have to I told you there's no use
00:46:21riding all over the country for nothing if I couldn't pick up a trail it's a
00:46:24sure thing you couldn't I will never forgive you for making me come back this
00:46:30way never
00:46:42you've turned that child against you Hoppy why didn't you let her go if she
00:46:47wanted to then I gave orders that nobody was to do any riding without my
00:46:51permission and no one's heard me change that order then do you still think that
00:46:58the killer might be hiding nearby no it's not that it's just that when I give
00:47:02orders I like to have them obeyed now that everybody understands that they can
00:47:07do all the riding they want wherever they want always insist on having your
00:47:12own way Hoppy well mostly you know I'm beginning to understand why you always
00:47:18accomplish whatever you set out to do I don't forget we're going riding right
00:47:23after lunch are we ready whenever you are you know if I had my way I'd like to
00:47:28go right now all right I'll go get my riding clothes on
00:47:32fine
00:47:36where are you going senor Lockie?
00:47:38back home you don't think I'm gonna stay here and let Hoppy treat me the way he's doing
00:47:43come
00:47:45come
00:47:47we're both the same kind of fools Lockie you and I
00:47:51what are you doing side in with Hoppy now?
00:47:53well you can if you want I'm through
00:47:55listen to me
00:47:57he was promised not to tell
00:47:59but senor Cassidy is playing a game
00:48:01I should not tell you this
00:48:03but I mustn't let you leave this way
00:48:07what do you mean?
00:48:09senor Cassidy told me what he's doing
00:48:11now I understand
00:48:13you see it's this way
00:48:27gosh Anita I feel like a darn fool
00:48:30I should have known Hoppy was doing the right thing
00:48:32I'm going with him
00:48:34oh no senor Cassidy says he must go alone
00:48:37yeah maybe so
00:48:39but I'm gonna keep an eye on him
00:48:41back him up just in case he needs me
00:48:43oh
00:48:45there's an old adobe overlooking the pass
00:48:48we can hide there and watch in case he needs us
00:48:51we?
00:48:52of course you and I
00:48:54I can shoot a gun
00:48:57I'd as soon have you back me up as anybody
00:48:59but what do you suppose Hoppy finds out?
00:49:01oh he need not know
00:49:03we can sneak in the barn get the horses and sneak out the back way
00:49:06come on let's go
00:49:10so you think that scarf in the window is a signal eh?
00:49:14yeah
00:49:16let us get started and you follow us
00:49:18keep out of sight
00:49:19if you hear any shooting come or running
00:49:21you can depend on me Hoppy
00:49:23I know I can old timer
00:49:25that's why I left this part of the job for you
00:49:31there's the signal
00:49:35hurry back to the cabin tell the men to take up their positions
00:49:38warn them I want Cassidy taken alive
00:49:55let's go
00:50:12you know more about this part of the country than I do
00:50:14is there any particular place you'd like to ride?
00:50:16you won't think I'm foolish Hoppy if I ask you to do something will you?
00:50:19anything you say is alright with me
00:50:21go ahead and ask
00:50:23for appearance sake I wish you'd have one more look around
00:50:26and see if you can pick up some clue
00:50:28I don't want the people at the ranch looking down on you
00:50:31and they think you're giving up too easily
00:50:33so long as you feel that way about it I'm willing
00:50:36say maybe if you'd use some of that intuition stuff you've been telling me about
00:50:40I might be able to pick up a trail
00:50:42where do you suggest I start looking?
00:50:44well you can laugh at woman's intuition if you want to
00:50:48but if I were you I'd head south through the pass
00:50:51head south through the pass we go
00:50:53I'm not banking on finding anything yet
00:50:55maybe you're right
00:50:57maybe we will find something
00:51:11my saddle seems loose Hoppy
00:51:14will you fix it please?
00:51:16oh sure
00:51:21here
00:51:30Hoppy
00:51:31yeah
00:51:32look
00:51:33that might have made a good hideout for the killer
00:51:36did you ever investigate it?
00:51:37why of course not
00:51:39you don't think anybody would be fool enough to hide there
00:51:42why not have a look at it now?
00:51:44perhaps we can pick up some clue
00:51:47I'm going to as soon as I take you back to the ranch oh
00:51:50I'm not afraid of danger
00:51:53as long as you're with me
00:51:56well it's not just that it's
00:52:00well it's just that I'm not hankering to get down there
00:52:04the fox's sister holding a gun at my back
00:52:06get your hands up
00:52:10you're clever Cassidy
00:52:12almost as clever as my brother said you were
00:52:15how did you know I was the fox's sister?
00:52:17that ring you're wearing
00:52:19belongs to the wife of a friend of mine
00:52:21whose ranch was raided by the fox a couple of years back
00:52:24you never overlook a bet do you?
00:52:27not if I can help it
00:52:29that's why I didn't chance this thing alone
00:52:32all right boys keep her covered and grab that gun
00:52:40can I put him down now?
00:52:42all right Cassidy
00:52:44you win
00:52:45what's your next move?
00:52:47well I'm going to take you back to the ranch oh
00:52:49then I'm coming back and have a look at that adobe
00:52:51I feel quite sure that the fox is down there waiting for me
00:52:55and I suppose you'll fix it so that I'll spend the rest of my life in a Mexican prison
00:52:59oh no
00:53:01I never make war on women
00:53:04then you'll give me a chance?
00:53:07well maybe if you made up your mind to head back north across the border
00:53:12that is after everything is settled
00:53:14I'd be looking the other way
00:53:16if you'd been anybody else Cassidy I
00:53:19yes
00:53:21I might have taken a great liking to you
00:53:25but all your courage and your cleverness
00:53:28won't help you any
00:53:32now my brother has a gun aimed at your back
00:53:35you wouldn't expect me to fall for the same trick would you?
00:53:38this is not a trick Cassidy don't move
00:53:41why didn't you shoot while you had the chance Fox?
00:53:43I wanted to be sure you knew it was I who was evening things between us
00:53:47well now that I know you might as well get it over with
00:53:50it won't be as simple as all that
00:53:52once you almost put a rope around my neck this time I'm going to put one around yours
00:53:56Janet get down and take his guns
00:54:14I'm looking the other way you better head for the border
00:54:24all right get up on your feet
00:54:31take your time Fox
00:54:34I hear you shot Hoppy and I come a running

00:54:51well he got away from them didn't he but we'll get a rope around his neck this time
00:54:55eh it's better late than never

00:55:03get going
00:55:14put down that gun Cassidy will be heading this way in a minute
00:55:17and a shot would warn him that something's wrong
00:55:20we can watch the pass from that old adobe
00:55:22then if anything happens we can warn Hoppy by shooting
00:55:26we'd better leave our horses here
