Key Discussion Points & Plot Highlights

1. A Mastermind’s Deception (02:26–06:04)

• The story opens with the introduction of Randolph Meeker, a notorious yet charming bank robber. He cunningly disguises his criminal intent by claiming to be a writer interested in learning about banks.

• Meeker manipulates his way into Silver City by befriending Mr. De Vincent and his daughter Jenny on the stagecoach.

  "Why, what would an officer be doing with a gun? I've never carried one in my life."
  — Meeker feigning innocence during the stagecoach hold-up (03:50)

• When the stagecoach is attacked, Meeker quickly negotiates with the bandits Yancy and Keefer, proposing a partnership for a much larger heist — the Silver City bank payroll of $25,000.

  "With that much money at stake, you can afford to take a chance."
  — Meeker to the bandits, cementing their alliance (05:21)

2. Cisco and Pancho Arrive on the Scene (06:04–07:54)

• Cisco and Pancho, aiming to visit their old friend (the town banker), encounter the runaway stagecoach and learn of the deadly robbery.

• Cisco vows justice for the slain driver and guard, setting out to track down the bandits.

  "Two hombres are dead. Two killers must pay for it."
  — Cisco affirming his resolve (07:54)

3. False Accusations and a Deadly Trap (09:23–13:40)

• Meeker cleverly plants suspicion on Cisco and Pancho, telling the sheriff they were the stage robbers, spurring a posse to pursue them.

• The real murderers lay an ambush for Cisco and Pancho at Lone Steer Pass, resulting in a fierce gunfight and near capture.

  "You mean you told the sheriff that Cisco and Poncho held up the stage and killed the driver and the guard?"
  — Bandit reacting to Meeker’s ruse (10:06)

  "This ambush got brains, Keefer. While Cisco's tracking us anyhow, he'll ride right smack dab into the middle of a dry gulch."
  — Yancy mapping out the trap (10:46)

4. The Law Turns – Plan for Redemption (15:55–18:24)

• Narrowly escaping death, Cisco convinces the sheriff that he and Pancho are innocent and sets up a counter-plan to outwit Meeker and his gang.

• The sheriff agrees to pretend Cisco and Pancho have been killed, baiting the criminals into proceeding with their heist plans.

  "You want me to pretend like I’m holding you two in jail so as we can find out what he’s up to?"
  — Sheriff negotiating with Cisco (18:00)

5. How to Rob a Bank—Accidentally Revealed (19:43–21:14)

• Meeker, still posing as a writer, persuades the banker and his daughter to show him around the bank. They innocently reveal both building layout and the best time and method for a robbery.

  "Getting the banker to tell you how to rob his own bank."
  — Keefer, amused by Meeker’s manipulation (21:35)

• Meeker refines the plan: two explosions at opposite ends of town will distract from the true target— the bank.

6. Double-Crossed and Foiled (22:32–24:38)

• The criminal gang executes their plan by setting off explosions at both ends of town. The town’s defenders split up, but Cisco and Pancho head to the bank, suspecting a trick.

• They arrive in time for a final confrontation. The bandits are caught, and Meeker is outwitted by Cisco’s detective work and quick thinking.

  "The trap you set was so clever, it caught you."
  — Cisco to Meeker, after the arrest (24:56)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

Plot Twists and Character Moments

• On Meeker’s Manipulation:
  "It’s the results that count, not the work you put into it."
  — Meeker, showing his calculating nature (21:04)

• Cisco on Justice:
  "Your bank will not be robbed, Señor Bill, if we can help it. And I think we can."
  — Cisco reassuring the banker (23:26)

• Pancho’s Comic Relief:
  "Pancho’s pantalones got caught on the saddle."
  — Pancho, after a wild horseback ride (26:29)

Satisfying Conclusion

• The townsfolk offer Cisco and Pancho jobs, but the heroes politely decline, staying true to their wandering ways.

  "Thanks, senores, for your offers, but Pancho and I would not be happy in one place."
  — Cisco, affirming his freedom-loving spirit (25:36)

Heartwarming Goodbye

• Jenny and Cisco’s Relationship:
  "You know, Cisco, this is the only time that you’ve ever visited us that we haven’t argued."

terms and conditions apply. And now, the Cisco Kid. In our exciting story, a trap of many teeth. Of all the bank robbers who plied

[Tyler Reddick]

their trade in the early days of

[Narrator/Announcer]

our west, by far the cleverest and most dangerous was Randolph Meacher. Instead of the evil face and sneaky eyes usually associated with men of his kind, Meeker's smile was pleasant and his manner friendly. It served him well in his chosen profession and he capitalized on it whenever he could. As our story opens, Meeker is a passenger on the stage to Silver City.

[Tyler Reddick]

I had no idea this trip to Silver City would be so pleasant, Mr. Vincent.

[Mr. De Vincent]

We'll be there soon, Mr. Meeker. Then you can see for yourself how a small town bank is run.

[Tyler Reddick]

Well, are you sure your father won't mind you showing it to me?

[Mr. De Vincent]

Well, I'm sure he won't. And I tell him that you're an author and Won't to use the banker's atmosphere for your next story.

[Tyler Reddick]

Well, I like to know about a thing before I write it. That way I can make it sound true.

[Mr. De Vincent]

I'll explain that to dad. Besides, he's so proud of that bank of his. Who want to show it to you himself.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Get up, Richie. Get up in it. Hey, driver, what's the trouble? Take it easy on this road. You have a lady for a passenger. I don't have any passengers at all. Don't get out of here, Bruno. There's a couple of rooneys you. Jesus.

[Mr. De Vincent]

They are behind. Do you have a gun?

[Tyler Reddick]

Why, what would an officer be doing with a gun? I've never carried one in my life.

[Mr. De Vincent]

All I have is a little bend in the purse. It won't shoot fine if you eat them.

[Tyler Reddick]

Well, if you'll permit me to borrow it, I'll do the best I can.

[Mr. De Vincent]

They're gaining on us.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Oh, you could have. Now they've killed the driver, got in the way.

[Mr. De Vincent]

The stage will turn over that curb up ahead.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Take up the lead. Gene fever. I'll have. Stop. It's just gotta be. I see to get your guns and the passengers out of stage. Don't you worry nothing about them. There's only two, a cow and a deuce.

[Tyler Reddick]

Give me that gun, Mr. Dinkins.

[Mr. De Vincent]

No. I may get a better chance to

[Narrator/Announcer]

use it than you. Where are you coming out or do I have to break you out of there? Don't be impatient.

[Tyler Reddick]

We're getting out.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Dad and driver or dead good too, Gancy. You won't come to no harm, miss, if you do like you told. Same goes for you, Dude.

[Tyler Reddick]

Turn on your wallet and anything else of value.

[Narrator/Announcer]

You too, miss. Empty your purse.

[Mr. De Vincent]

Sure, I'll do just like you say. But this.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Be careful. Your horse will slip on her. Sure knocked her down to her Yancy. What about that, Dude?

[Tyler Reddick]

Well, I think you'll be all right. She must have hit her head on the stagecoach when your horse knocked her down. She'll come to you before long.

[Narrator/Announcer]

We ought to kill these two, Yancy. Yeah, maybe we ought to.

[Tyler Reddick]

Maybe you two ought to quiet down and listen.

[Narrator/Announcer]

You. Well, I do. Wait a minute, Keeper. What you got to say?

[Tyler Reddick]

It's worth listening at a method of obtaining $25,000.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Oh, and he's lying. Yes. He's just stolen so he won't kill him. How we know you ain't lying, Dude?

[Tyler Reddick]

The name is Meeker, and you don't. But with that much money at stake, you can afford to take a chance.

[Narrator/Announcer]

What's your proposition?

[Tyler Reddick]

I haven't time to tell you now. Mr. Vincent might wake up. I don't believe him. Yancy. I've been looking for two men who are handy with guns. Could shoot straight and didn't care who they hit.

[Narrator/Announcer]

I'll take a chance maker. Cause a dude like you ain't gonna be hard to find in this part of the country. You double cross us and I'll find you.

[Tyler Reddick]

I'll rent a horse in Silver City and meet you right here at 3 o' clock this afternoon.

[Narrator/Announcer]

You better be here.

[Tyler Reddick]

Set your mind to rest. Without a couple of men like you, I can't do business in these parts. Yeah, and with it with you, the three of us are going to get $25,000.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Is there a road sign up for Francisco? What it say? Ho ho ho. Logo. Slow down. Logo. Here is a road sign. What the sign status. What did it say? What did it say? Well, the sign says Cottonwood Gulch in this direction and Silver City in that direction. We near Silver City, Cisco? Si, Poncho, we are. Then we arrive to see our friend the banker and Senor Bill to Vincent. That is a good idea, Chico. We have not seen Senor Bill for a long time. Up, Diablo. Come on. Not so long. But I don't know why Cisco say it a long time. Why do you say that, Pancho? Cisco say it a long time. Cause Cisco like to see Senor Bill's billy daughter. Sangrita jelly? Si, Poncho. She's a very pretty senorita. But she has a quick temper. That is why we always have an argument. That's not the reason the senorita got an argument with Cisco. What do you think the reason is, Chico? I should think the same. Likes Cisco to be the banker's son in the Lord. Be as glad to see Cisco as the sheriff. Fernie not be glad. This time we will give Sheriff Ferdy no cause to bother us. Well, that Shenny find a reason. He always find a reason to arrest Cisco and Pancho. Hey Pancho. Look how fast that stagecoach is coming. Hold on. Hold on. Horses look like they run away, Seasco. That driver does not seem to be able to hold them in regular drivers. We'll stop that team, Pancho. Watcha. This is the burner will stand. Pull back on the range driver. Throw those horses down. I'm trying for the crab. Never mind, I'll pull them up. You are not the regular driver, senor. Where is he?

[Tyler Reddick]

The driver and the guard were killed by a couple of road agents several miles down Back the road.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Back came the stagecoach here. She hurt?

[Tyler Reddick]

Say, off she was knocked out by one of the bandits. I took a chance driving this team, but I wanted to get her into town.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Silver City is just ahead. Pancho, you drive this coach into town. Get things a Jenny to adopt her right away. What'd you do, Cisco? I am going after those bandiros, Pancho. Two hombres are dead. Two killers must pay for it. You feeling better now, Jenny?

[Mr. De Vincent]

Yes, dad. I'm all right.

[Narrator/Announcer]

A bad bump on the head to say you really get in your bills. Dirty sneaking sidewinders. Only wish I had been there with a six gun.

[Tyler Reddick]

I'm sorry, Mr. Dinsent. I wasn't able to do anything.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Well, I'm not blaming you, Mr. Meeker. You Easterners will just have to learn to carry a gun when you're in this part of the country. If you say you need to go right now in time to go back to Francisco, I think I ought to

[Tyler Reddick]

report this to the sheriff, don't you?

[Narrator/Announcer]

Yeah, you better go ahead, Mr. Meeker. Jenny, you stay here and rest up.

[Mr. De Vincent]

All right, dad.

[Narrator/Announcer]

If I could leave the bank, I'd ride with you, Poncho. But I got that mine payroll money here. And Najee, what do you think of this? Come, Pine, you'll find Achilles.

[Tyler Reddick]

I'll be back to see you, Mr. De Vincent, after I report this to the sheriff. By that time, possibly Miss Jenny will be well enough to tell you why I came out here.

[Narrator/Announcer]

She already did tell me, Mr. Meeker, seeing as how you're a writin man, I'll be glad to show you through the bank and give you whatever information you're after.

[Tyler Reddick]

Well, that's very kind of you, Mr. Da Vincent. I'm sure that with your help I'll be able to get exactly what I'm after.

[Narrator/Announcer]

I told you that dude wouldn't show up. Yancey. It ain't three o' clock yet. Well, I don't like it. Might have set a trap for us. How's anybody gonna ambush us here? We can see in every direction. There's a rider coming up the trail from Silver City. I told you to stop worrying. Keefer is meager. Are you sure it's the Dude? Can't you tell from the way he's bouncing on that horse? Well, keep your eyes peeled just in case. Oh, you keep fretting like a old cow over a calf timer. You're right on time. I had a hard time getting away from Tom.

[Tyler Reddick]

What do you mean? I had to tell the Sheriff, about the Cisco Kid and Poncho holding up the stage.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Cisco and Poncho? What do you know about them two?

[Tyler Reddick]

While I was driving the stage into town, after I left here, the horses ran away and Cisco stopped them.

[Narrator/Announcer]

You mean you told the sheriff that Cisco and Poncho held up the stage and killed the driver and the guard?

[Tyler Reddick]

Well, not exactly.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Well, what did you tell him? It's not so much what I told

[Tyler Reddick]

him as the way I worded it. When I mentioned the names of Cisco and Poncho. You jumped at the chance to get up a posse and go after them.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Well, now, that was right smart of you, Maker. Me and Kiefer ain't got no love for them two. Nothing I'd like better than to see Cisco's other sights of my Winchester.

[Tyler Reddick]

You may get that chance. Cisco's on your trail right now. From what I've heard of Sisko, we've got to get rid of him in order to successfully carry out my plan.

[Narrator/Announcer]

How do you aim to do that, Meeker?

[Tyler Reddick]

Now, if I were plotting this for a story, I'd send the two of you back along your own trail. What for? So you could find a convenient spot to ambush Cisco.

[Narrator/Announcer]

This ambush got brains, Keith. Where Cisco's tracking us anyhow. She'll ride right smack dab into the middle of a drag. Ox. We could get him back at her own steer path. That's where we'll do it. Throw steer paint.

[Tyler Reddick]

Suppose when that posse's already caught up with them. I don't think they will. I saw to it that Cisco and Poncho had a big enough head start.

[Narrator/Announcer]

We still don't know your proposition, Meeker. Why should we go through with this?

[Tyler Reddick]

For the mine payroll. Money in the bank at Silver City. $25,000. That's the prize that's waiting for us after you've gunned down the Cisco Kid.

[Narrator/Announcer]

KO Wait for Poncho. I am waiting. Poncho, Slow down. Slow down. Well, I'm glad to see you on myo. Is the 10 years of Jenny all right? How did you find me? Pancho? Pancho, go back to the place where the stageco's held up and follow Cisco's tracks from there to here. You would have saved yourself a lot of trouble, Poncho, had you remained where these tracks began. Pancho would find Cisco that way. Well, I would have found you, Chico, because those bandidos backtracked. Cisco. Mean to go back again to where they hold up the stage coach? Yeah. We will soon find out, amigo. Lone steer Pass is just up ahead and right beyond it is the spot where the stagecoach was held up. Cisco. Look, look, look. Check there. Rhyme. Oh, see it is that sheriff's purdy. Yeah, and a posse. They got to be after those bomb dealers what killed the driver and the stagecoach. God too. I arrest you for the murder of the guard and the driver of the stage. Hey, that little sheriff. I do not know Pancho. But from past experience with him, we are not going to wait to find out. Come on, Pancho. Pancho. In the name of the Lord. Faster. Dia. I think we can outrun their horses. Pancho. Faster. Over. Faster. Cut him down. Shot us. Those bullets were close. We can lose them as soon as we get too loose. They're fast here. The fast pass. He's gone. Come on, Fato. Through the pass. All right, keeper. They're close enough. Now gun them down. Blast away. En was his bullet that killed him. It is an ambush hold of a hold of us. And it seems that the ambush Cisco was driven into will be the cause of his death. In just a moment, we'll return to the Cisco Kid.

[Narrator/Announcer]

And now back to the in our gripping story, a trap of many teeth While Randolph Meeker was driving the stage

[Tyler Reddick]

into Silver City, the horses ran away

[Narrator/Announcer]

and were stopped by Cisco and Pancho. Finding out that the stage had been held up and the garden driver killed, they took out after the two killers in town. Meeker falsely informed the sheriff that Cisco

[Tyler Reddick]

and Poncho were the killers.

[Narrator/Announcer]

The sheriff and his posse went after Cisco and Pancho, who rode into a dry gulch set up by the killers Yancy and Keeper, who are in lead with Meeker. Several shots rang out and Diablo goes down. Now what Puncher can do? I'm all right, Poncho. The albaba stumbled in the go for horn. Better we get behind those locks and shoot us. Circle around try to get them, Poncho. Ho there. You're under arrest under the name of the law. Ho. You take another step, Cisco, and I'll put a bullet through you. Those two killers were ambushed. Cisco and Pancho. Either way, the sheriff not stopped talking. They are the coyotes you are after, Sheriff. That birdie. I have been trailing them from the spot where the stagecoach was held up. Your fancy talk don't fool me, non Cisco. I got an eyewitness that you're the ones that done it. Who is this eyewitness? Sheriff Birdie one hombre that you didn't kill the easterner Randolph Meeker. Dad homily tell you Cisco and Pine to do the killing. Yeah, you'll find out in good time. Now get going. So Meeker told you, eh? Do you not want my guns before I mount, Sheriff? Yeah, that's right. Hand them over. Very well with a gun. But caught me see Sheriff, here they are. Flip of the hand. Now the bears are tortured. Fire you now audio. Do not move. This gun is pointed at the sheriff's head. Take it easy, boys. Do like Cisco says. Now listen to me, senor Sheriff Bancho and I stopped the runaway horses of that stagecoach after the killings had already happened. And those bandidos had no way of knowing we were on their trail. So what? Unless they were warned. Why don't you think that Nicarombre is the only one that could wound them? They're telling the truth about an ambush, Sheriff. There's footprints and empty Cochrane shells over at the sides of these rafts. Well, I never know what to believe about you two. This should prove we have done nothing wrong. Senior sheriff. Here are my guns. This time there will be no reverse roll. Well, I reckon you wouldn't give me your guns if you was really guilty. Nah, the sheriff uses head. Well, I better see if we and the posse can pick up them two bandits that tried to dry Vulture. You know, Sheriff, I think they and Mika are in some deal together. And that you can catch all three of them at the same time if you are willing to take a chance. Whatever it is Mika wants to do, he will not do it until Poncho and I are out of the way. You want me to pretend like I'm holding you two in jail so as we can find out what he's up to? Better yet, that everyone in Silver City think you and your posse had to kill Pancho and me because we would not surrender. And that gives Cisco and P The chance to catch up with those homies when they not know it. All right, Cisco, I'll do what you say. I'll take the chance. But if you go to make a fool of me, the only ones to be fooled, Sheriff Pie, are those bandidos. If my plan works, they will fall into their own trap. Of all the kinds hardest things I ever heard. What do you mean you had to shoot Cisco and Poncho? Sheriff Ferdy? Well, Bill, give him warning. They wouldn't stop, so I just naturally had to shoot him.

[Tyler Reddick]

Well, I'm sorry to hear that, Sheriff. It's a regrettable error.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Well, if you told me the whole story, meet her, it might not happen. I'm sure gonna hate to tell Jenny about it. Well, I gotta be going. See you soon, Bill. You too, Meeker.

[Mr. De Vincent]

Hello, Terrace birdie.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Howdy, Jenny. Hope you're feeling better. Don't mention anything to Jenny about Cisco and Pancho being dead. Mika. I'll tell her later. I won't.

[Tyler Reddick]

Mr. Dimitri.

[Mr. De Vincent]

Why, Mr. Meeker, hasn't dad shown you through the bank yet?

[Narrator/Announcer]

No, Ginny, I haven't had the time. Why don't you do it.

[Mr. De Vincent]

I'll be glad to, dad. You know, Mr. Meeker is writing a story about a bank robbery and he wants to make everything authentic.

[Tyler Reddick]

In my story, the characters who rob the bank do it in the dead of night and escape completely undetected.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Well, now, right there's your first mistake, maker. You don't want to. You don't want to do that robbery in the dead of night. Everything's so quiet, the least sound will be heard.

[Tyler Reddick]

Yes, I hadn't thought of that. Well, when should the robbery be?

[Narrator/Announcer]

Well, best time would be about 10 o'.

[Tyler Reddick]

Clock.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Folks still ain't going to sleep, but all the business places are closed.

[Tyler Reddick]

Yes, that's very true. Now, in my story, one of the bank robbers is an expert at opening safe.

[Narrator/Announcer]

That's your second mistake. No bank robber could ever open that safe of mine without dynamite.

[Mr. De Vincent]

Dad, Mr. Meeker doesn't want you to write a story for him. He only wants to show him through the bank.

[Tyler Reddick]

Well, from the plot errors I've made, I think your father could write a better story than I can. Tell me, Mr. Davincent, how could my bank robber get away after he blew his safe? The noise would attract everyone in town.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Well, now, if I was that bank robber, I'd have me a partner. And while I was using the dynamite to rob the bank, I'd have that partner of mine set off a real big explosion at the other end of town so everybody'd be drawn to it.

[Tyler Reddick]

Well, you've certainly shown me the right way for my characters around that bank, Mr. To Vincent.

[Mr. De Vincent]

I hope what dad's told you won't cause you too much rewriting.

[Tyler Reddick]

Now, that's the one thing I really don't mind. It's the results that count, not the work you put into it.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Jenny, you show Mr. Meeker the bank so we'll have a good idea of what he's writing about.

[Tyler Reddick]

Fine, fine. That's just the information I need to ensure the success of this job between you and your father. You've made it the easiest one I have ever tackled.

[Narrator/Announcer]

That's the best one I ever heard, Maker. Getting the banker to tell you how to rob his own bank. Yeah, and getting the sheriff to kill with Cisco Kid and Poncho tops even. That dynamite in that bank will be a pushover.

[Tyler Reddick]

Well, not so fast, boys. The true test of good plotting is to expect the unexpected.

[Narrator/Announcer]

What you mean, Major?

[Tyler Reddick]

In the event the banker and his daughter are not as gullible as I think, we'll safeguard ourselves.

[Narrator/Announcer]

How do we do it we'll have

[Tyler Reddick]

two explosions just as the Vincent described. But neither of them will be in the bank.

[Narrator/Announcer]

What? Where'll they be at?

[Tyler Reddick]

Fiance, you set off a dynamite explosion at one end of town. And Kiefer, you set off another at the other end of town. Yeah, but what about the bank? We'll get to it. If anyone's suspicious and is watching the bank when the explosions go off, they'll see that nothing's happened there.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Yeah, yeah, and after seeing that everything's all right, they'll go to one end of town or the other to see what the explosions is about.

[Tyler Reddick]

That's when we'll blow the safe. As soon as you boys set off your dynamite charges, meet me at the bank. We got nothing to worry about. Robin, this bank's going to be as easy as hog tying a cat.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Why, it sure is. And the only umbrel that might have stopped us is the Cisco Kid. And he's dead. Oh, now stop your threaten, Bill. Everything's going to turn out all right. Well, you should have told me, Sheriff. Let's just go and panto. We're only playing part that they weren't really dead. Now you worry. Say you, Bill. Cisco, kiss those bandidos when they go to use the trick. You tell them with the dynamite, shrimp. It sure was dumb of me, Pacho, telling me how to rob my own bank. Your bank will not be robbed, Senor Bill, if we can help it. And I think we can. Sheriff Purdy, is your posse ready to ride? As soon as we hear the explosion? They're ready, Cisco. I divided them up in two groups. There goes that dynamite. Now, Flim, you and your men get to the south end of town after him. All right, Sheriff, let us ride to the bank. There's another explosion at the north end of the town. That ain't what I told Mika to do. The rest of you men follow me to the north side of town. Let's go. Get up. I'm going with you. Come on. She's go. Why we not go and send your ability to shave that second explosion does not make sense, Poncho. That must be it. That must be it. Let us run to the bank. Come on. Go. Go to the bank. Go down. Go. I only hope we can get there in time. Let your me there. What? I mean, that last explosion came from the bank. Bandidos f everyone. Mao. Look, Poncho, the door of the bank is wide open. Bandos leave it like that so they can make they shoot it at his throat. Right him down, Pancho. Right into the bank. It's a Cisco Kid. I thought she said he was dead. Give it a. You will end up behind the bars of a deer. Now for you, Meeker. Ah.

[Tyler Reddick]

I don't want to fight, Cisco. I'm no match for you.

[Narrator/Announcer]

And this was no match for Fo. Sit on him. He not can get up. Cisco. This time you outsmarted yourself, Nicker. The trap you set was so clever, it caught you. And the bars at the jail will hold you and those two killers from now on. Cisco, I'd sure like to have you and Poncho settled in Silver City and take jobs as my deputies. Say you Deputy Pancho. Maybe Poncho like that. Nothing I'd like better than to see you and Pancho settled down here, Cisco. Now if you don't want to be deputies, you can have any job you want in my bank. Gracias, senores for your offers, but Bancho and I would not be happy in one place.

[Mr. De Vincent]

Oh, that's what I was afraid of. You know, Cisco, this is the only time that you've ever visited us that we haven't argued.

[Narrator/Announcer]

So you think that Jenny and Cisco not seeing each other long enough this time to argue? That's true.

[Mr. De Vincent]

Every other time we've said goodbye, it's just been after an argument. But this time I'm gonna say goodbye. Like this.

[Narrator/Announcer]

He was a very spirited horse. You gave him a good ride. Very spirited horse. Cisco, see that horse start to buck? Say, I saw it, Pancho. You know, I did not think you would stay on him. Pancho got to stay on that horse. He's good. But why did you have to stay on that horse? Chico, aren't you going to stay on that horse? Because Pancho's pantalones got caught on the saddle. Oh, Pancho. Oh, is he? And so ends another exciting adventure with O. Henry's famous Robin Hood of the west, the Cisco Kid.
