With the west of the 1870s overrun by outlaws and sadly lacking in law enforcement, the transportation of gold was a risky business. And many ways were conceived to disguise the shipments. It was while visiting the little town of Comanche Bluff that the Cisco Kid and the dependable Poncho found themselves involved in an episode of this kind. As our story opens, it is evening on the single street of the little town. Men are moving casually about. Then a man crosses the street hurriedly and speaks to another loitering on the curb. See that kid just going into the cafe over there? Sure. Well, that's old Man Bell's nephew you're fooling, love. No, this is straight. I just overheard the kid asking an hombre if he'd seen an old man driving a pair of gray mules coming to town. Said Old Man Bell was his uncle. That he, the kid had ridden down here from his ranch to meet him. That Old Bell was doing here today. That means we gotta change our plan. Come on. Right. Instead of waiting for old Bell here, we gotta go out and meet him. But even so, the kid may give us trouble afterwards. There's a way to fix that. I'll start a fight with him. Here's the cafe. Keep your eye peeled, Matt. The Zisco kids in there. He might start something. Yeah, I know. I'll see to it no one else wants in. Here we go then. Here comes the kiddler. Hey, what do you mean by tripping me, squirt? I sure didn't trip you, stranger. You fell over your own big feet. Why, you lying shrimp. Talk back to me, will you? Out of my way or I'll mash it. I'm not on your way. I don't like what you call me. No? Then why don't you do something about it? Or do you wear that gun because you think it makes you look like a man instead of a sick scotch? Why are you. Who did that? Who shot that gun out of my hand? I did, hombre. I saw you picked that fight. And I did not want to see the young senor killed. Look out, she's go behind you. Let go of that gun. Drop that gun or I'll break your arm. Now get over there with your partner where I can keep an eye on both of you. Good words. This goes. That only means they hit you from behind. So I noticed. Just in time. Put your gun Away, Cisco, and I'll hit you from the front. Here. Pancho, you hold the gun. Pleasure. Now, hombre, as you were saying, teach is the word. Ombre, not vern. You're very careless with your English. Now, I will teach you not to lead with your right. It goes like this. It's beautiful, Cisco. That don't make me look like a mule. Kick him, Cisco. You better be getting out of town, Prado. I'm warning you. I think I like this little town, hombre. All right, steak. But if you stay, I'll get you. Get you proper. Come on, Matt. You're the Cisco Kid, huh? See? That is right. May I ask your name, senor? My name is Allen. Steve Allen. Gosh, Cisco, you sure saved my gizzard that time. That ombre had his gun out. And you shot it out of his hand before my gun was even free of leather. I'm sure obliged to. It was a pleasure, senor. But why did he pick that fight with you? Golly, I wouldn't know. I never saw the man before. Don't you think he's just a plain, ugly hombre, a good one to fight? No. That is strange. You live here in town, Senor Steve? Shucks, no. I live on a ranch 60 miles north of here. Cattle. A large cattle spread. No small. We've been there only four years. We're just getting a good start. And then last spring, my father died. Yeah, I'm very sorry to hear that. That made it sort of tough for Mother and me. My Uncle Nat is coming to help us out. He was due in here today. He'll probably get here tomorrow. Be easier for us when he comes. I can understand that. And you are staying in town tonight? Oh, sure. I'm here to meet my uncle. I gotta wait until he comes. Well, keep out of that big Omry's way. Seems to be looking for trouble. You bet I'll keep out of his way when is not you singing, Steve? What? Is not you singing, Steve? Good night, and thanks again, Cisco. You've come a long way for this, Matt. All across two states. Lynn, you sure that's old Bell's outfit coming? Sure. Gray mules and that old wagon with a tarpaulin lashed over the sideboards. Same outfit he left Santa Fe with. Wish we could have pulled a job the other side of Comanche Bluff. Study here on the main trail. We could have if that kid hadn't showed up in town. We could have even then if that coyote, Cisco, hadn't horned in last night. But here we're only Six miles out of town. Six miles is far enough. Old Bell is getting close. I'll get to the heads of the mules. When you stop them, stop your team. Belle. You're covered. Belle. We know you left Santa Fe with better than 9,000 in gold in that wagon. Hand it over. Where would an old blacksmith like me get that much gold? I ain't going to argue with you. You killed him, Lurk. Yeah. No sense in wasting time. The gold is in this outfit and we know it. Let's get busy and find it then. Right. We'll go through this wagon with a fine tooth comb. And for crossing two states and waiting for old Bell and Comanche Bluff, all we get is 30 odd dollars in silver. Fine business. But I don't understand it, Matt. In my own ears. Back there in Santa Fe, I overheard Bell tell his lawyer that he was taking better than 9,000 in gold to his sister and her son to help them finish paying for their ranch. We couldn't have missed it if it had been there. All there was in that wagon was a bellows, a couple of anvils and the old man's blacksmith tools. Just that and his bed roll and oats for the mules. Looks like we're licked. Then why are we heading back to Comanche Bluff? For two reasons. First, to make this look right, we got a ride back to town and report we found a man killed. Second, I don't aim to leave that place till I've squared accounts with that meddling sidewinder of a. Cisco. You sent for me, senor Sheriff? Yeah, have yourself a chair. You too. Gracious. What have you on your mind? Senor, I called you here to warn you, Cisco. You have the reputation of causing trouble wherever you go. Last evening you fought with this Lurton army. We could not start a fice of your sherry. I want no more fighting in this town. If Bell killing and everything, I got trouble enough. I saw that you brought Senor Bell's wagon into town this morning. Yeah, wagon and most of the other stuff that the killers threw away. Tell us. Couple of anvils, more blacksmiths, tools. Steve figured they'd come in handy on his ranch. Daddy didn't get the gold, but what will Steve do? Lose his ranch, no doubt. Goldmy couldn't possibly meet that note. No, he probably cannot. Now on the other hand. Well, we will wait and see what a pair of fools we are. Matt had that gold plum in our hands and then threw it away. Yeah. How'd we know the old man had melt the gold down and cast it into an anvil. Should have figured it out, old man Bell being a blacksmith and all. We'd have used our heads. We'd have known he'd have cooked up some scheme instead of carrying all that gold and dust and nuggets. It's simple enough. When you stop to think him doing all his blacksmithing in mining camps where he'd be paid in dust and nuggets. That anvil's a pretty slick trick at that. Then him painting it black like his regular anvil. We ain't lost it yet. It's in the wagon right across the street by the livery station. Sure, we ain't lost it. Even of a hundred men have looked at that wagon since the sheriff hauled it in. Nobody but you and me know that anvil's made out of gold. Yeah, and a good thing you noticed that little scratch on the end. It sure was. I sure got a jolt when I saw that yellow gold shining through the black paint. And I wasn't long smearing some auto with a scratch. Must have got scratched on the rocks when he tossed it out of the wagon. They could. But how we gonna get it, Lurk? Oh, he can't just walk over there in broad daylight. We gotta wait for dark and the right chance. And maybe the right chance to get that Cisco Kid. Hey, it's getting dark, Poncho. And young Singer Steve should be 10 miles on his way home by now. Why Senor Steve start this afternoon and drive all night? Why not wait till the morning? After the trouble of this morning? He was worried about his mother being at the rancho alone. Cisco? Sie, amigo. Did Cisco see what that hombre Lurton and the other hombres do all day? You mean how they watched that wagon of senor Steve all day? They said it was asleep. And look, look, look, look. Look at the old wagon. What they say? What they say? I do not know. But they certainly did a lot of looking. Hey, Poncho, some riders are coming to town. So the box circle riders coming in for a good time. Poncho. Hear those Box arrival is to. I've heard the same, Chico. Sheriff may get some fighting in time tonight after all. Uhhuh. But we will keep out of trouble with them. We have other things to do. Look like the box struggle hombres. They go with this cafe Cisco and that lurking hombre and his partner with them. Lurton seems to be taking charge of their celebration. Pancho not like that Lurton coyote. He slinked like a coyote. He got a face like a Toad, we'll sit at this table here. Pancho. Oh, that lerton hombre watching Wasisko. Pay no attention to him, Pancho. Hey, look, boys. Look over there. There's a Cisco Kid and his fat partner squatting at that table over there. Looks like they're too uppity to join us in a little fun. We stand for that. Oh, good, good. What'd we do, Cisco? What'd we do, huh? Sit tight and pay no attention. I guess they're hard of hearing. Go over and talk with her. Guess you hombres didn't hear me invite you to join us, did you, Cisco? So you are looking for trouble again, are you, Lurton? Get all that, hombre look for Cisco's troubles. Listen, boys, they say I'm looking for trouble. And all I do is ask him to join us in a little fun. Oh, Lert, why bother with him? Bancho and I do not mind joining you for a good time, amigos, but we want nothing to do with this. Lurch Noborine, his partner. We saw them try to kill a boy last night. He lies. I'll knock your teeth in for that, Cisco. Whose team get knocked, you know. Look out, Cisco. He go for the gun. Yeah. Bueno to keep the gun off of his hand, Cisco. Come on, boys, give me a hand. That's the stuff. Grab him. Grab him. Now you've got him now, boys. You got the great Cisco Kit. Hold his arms. And I ought to. Ah, you buzzard. Luton. These hombres will let me go. I'll beat you to a pulp. Let Pancho go to. And Pancho help hold him in. Now, Cisco, this is to square that little deal of last night. That fixes Mr. Sisko. And now for the fat one. Yeah, we got him knocked out too late. Drag him over the side door over there and throw him out. Me and Matt will tend to him. All right, heave him on. Thanks, boys. I'll go back and have your fun. See you in a few minutes. Where we putting them, Lou? That old shed out there. Damn. Hold. I'll get something to really clip him with. Matt, we gotta get after that gold. Young Allen's got a long start on us already. Here's an old axe handle, Luth. Good enough. Now you run for the horses. I'll finish this job and we'll ride. It looks as if Cisco has at last reached the end of his rope. In just a moment, we'll return to the Cisco Kid. Foreign hey, it's Ryan Seacrest.

Now back to the Cisco Kid in our gripping story the Golden Anvil, young Steve Allen, driving by night to his distant branch, is wholly unaware that the gold he thinks he has lost is in his wagon, disguised in the shape of a small anvil. Neither can Steve know that the murderous Lerton, having disposed of Cisco and Poncho to his own satisfaction, is riding to overtake and rob him. While back in the town of Comanche Bluff. Pancho. Pancho, amigo, wake up. Is run over by a stampede. No, no, no. We've taken a very bad beating. Cafe, remember? See? Big, big fight. Ooh. Bite your head like a balloon. We're locked in this old shed back of the cafe, I think. Let nobody put as he is going, say. And I've learned that the gold young Senior Steve thought he had lost is still in his wagon. And that Lerton and his partner have ridden to overtake Steve and get it. When they dragged us here, I was partly conscious. I heard Lerton talking about it. Lurton killed Senior Steve. No, you must not let that happen. Pancho. Will you help me with the door, amico? Oh, Pancho got hummus in his head. Pancho, help. Brace now. Try to break this door down. Now, Gigo. Hit it hard. The door too strong, Cisco. What about the window? There is no window. Again, Poncho. Put all your weight into it. Now. Bu. We are out. Wait, Poncho. Somebody's coming. So you're the cause of all this noise, Cisco. Well, I'm looking for you two. I hear you've been fighting again. Now, you come with me. Not made the troubles. So you are. The gold that young Senor Steve thought he had lost is still in his wagon. That's a likely story. It's a true story. And Lerton and his partner are riding to overtake it. You can't talk your way out of this, Cisco. What I have heard Lerton say, I am sure that it was Lerton that killed. Say your best. I've listened to enough of this. Now, you two come along. Senor Sheriff, suppose we promise to leave town in 10 minutes. Will you let us go? You'll bet I'll let you go. And mighty glad to get shot of you. I'm sticking around to make sure you do go. Gracias, senor. We'll go straight to the livery stable for our horses. But first, one question. Yeah? Is there a shortcut to Senor Steve's rancho? Come on, Cisco. You act serious about it. Yeah. There's the old Commanche trail through the hills. Comes into the main trail about 10 miles this side of Steve's land. Gracias, Again? S you, sheriff. Come, Poncho. We ride. This is a bad trail to ride at night, Pancho. See, Cisco is dangerous. I think I will stop and have a look at the trail. Oh, loco. Lo, Cisco. Loco. Now that looks like a match. See the tracks of two horses come this way soon, huh? I am almost sure of it. Lerton knows that Senor Steve will travel slowly with the wagon. And no doubt he plans to ride in ahead of Steve and ambush him. Pancho, we must get there first. Up there sun come up, Cisco. It's light now. Can see. Look, Pancho. On that ridge ahead. Right, Cisco. You think it's alerting hombre, See? And they have seen us. They start to ride past. Look, look. They use the spoil up here. We'll help you out. Go look up. Go. Look, look, look. We must get that Lurton ombre before he gets to the junction of the two trails. I think the main trail, the big, big valley far below must be. Perhaps we can see it after we swing around the shoulder of this bluff. Look, Cisco. Again we are gaining on them, Pancho. But now they stop. Did you know of the horses, Cisco? They're running back this way. I can see. No sense to that Fortunate, no, Unless the hombres like to run. Ah, they're climbing the steep slope above the trail. Look. They're all a big big boggy down Madremeer. They're trying to start a landslide to block the trail hump. Yeah. Help ya. Go, Logo. Go, go, go. Santa. We are too late. There it goes. Ho, ho, ho. Ho. Ho. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. Diablo and Loco not get over that part of the rock, Cisco. No, they cannot. We are not letting Lurton block us this way. Come on up your horse, Pancho. What we do is not a big landslide, amigo. No. By moving some of those pop rocks, we may be able to get the horses over it. Pancho, look. That far down the valley there. Oh, Steve. See? He's so far away we cannot warn him. Maybe he shots. No, I will try. No, he does not hear. Noise of his wagon is too loud. Come, Pancho. Grab hold of this big rock. Now. Lift, Pancho. It not move. We must move it. Lift it harder, Pancho. Put your back into it now. Come on. It moves. Hey, Pancho, keep it moving. Deal. We did it, Poncho. Now to get the horses over Logo. That landslide sure fixed this. Goes clock Bat. Now we'll turn back on the main trail and ambush young Allen. We won't miss getting that goal this time. Now hold it, Lurt. Hold it. Ain't that the kids team just breaking out of the cottonwoods? The other side of this long plant. Oh, boy. Whoa there. Whoa. Yeah, that's him. Quick, Matt. Right in behind this spur of ledge. Hurry, before he sees us. Wait for him here. Look. Learn. Kid has stopped his team. He's getting down off the wagon seat. No one? Looks like. One of his mules has picked up a stone on his hoof. The kid's prying it out. He learned. Listen. Back on the trail behind us. Ain't that running horses I hear? Sure is. Horses coming fast. Think it's that Cisco critter? Maybe you got around that landslide somehow. Wherever it is, we can't stay here. We gotta work fast. What do we do? Liz, ride down on young Allen. Gun him down. Grab that golden anvil and dig out fast. Get going, horse. Get out of there. There they go, Cisco. They're learning. And far beyond them cross the long flat. See you, Steve. Right, Poncho. Hook Yellow. Hip Steve is standing them off. Hump Yellow. Ha. Your gun, Pancho. Have it ready. Gun is ready. She's so he go down. Hurry, Pancho. We're almost there. I will take Lurton. Poncho, you take the other one. The ace is called pass. And fix the other hom and fix him good. Look out for the fat ones. Rope ass. Gotcha, hom. Come up this horse like a sack of San Francisco. Back blow. Keep your rope tight. Bueno, loca. Bueno. Keep away from that wagon, Lurkon. Try this, Cisco. Yeah, you are a poor shot, Lurkon. Now you're coming off that horse. Who's taking me off this horse? Come on into it. Just the moment I've been waiting for, hombre. Now this is going to be a pleasure Omry fight with our fist. You measly skunk. I'll show you. So you missed the gold when you killed Senor Bell. Then you found gold was still in the wagon you followed to kill and rob young Senior Steve. You lied. You are going to hang first. You are going to take some of the treatment you gave Poncho and me in the cafe last night. Hey, thanks, you scold. Show him how it feel to be hit on the eye. He lands the jones. See how he like it. See, Pancho? I will right now. Bueno, Cisco. Parto. Think nombre is all finished. So the other hombre imparto still got him roped. Tie him up, Amigo. I must go to Senor Steve. Senior Steve is all right. Bullet grazed his skull and knocked him Out. Well, and I think that he is even badly hurt. Buenos Cisco. I shall come as soon as he goes. Big senior Steve is coming out of it. Senor. Senor. Oh, Cisco. See? Why did that sideliner Lerton jump me again? Sisko. Lerton killed your uncle. But somehow he missed finding the gold your uncle carried. Later he discovered it was still in the wagon, so he followed you to get it. The gold in the wagon? Oh, it can't be, Sisko. It just can't be. Let me help you up, Steve. And we will look. Come on. Tell you the gold ain't there, Cisco. Hey, look. All there is just Uncle Nat's blacksmith tools and a few groceries I brought to take back to the ranch. But Lerton said it was there. I heard him. Wait, let me climb into the wagon and look more carefully. It's no use, Cisco. It's gone. Santo. Look, Steve. Look at this small anvil. Just a little yellow spot is all I see, Cisco. See? Just the yellow spot where the black paint is chipped off. Steel is not yellow, Senor Steve. No, it can't be, Cisco. Senor, this small anvil is solid gold. Your Uncle Nat's gold. Your gold. Now look, Cisco Ryers. Ah, see? This is Sheriff El Cisco. You were telling the truth, huh? Sisayor Sheriff Cisco not lie, Senor Sheriff Cisco always tell the truth. Yeah, so I found out when a couple of them box sucker lombers come to me scared, plumb limber. Thought they'd mix themselves up in a murder. Thought Lurkin had killed you two. Then you began to believe my story about Senor Bell and the gold. Yeah, you bet. And I rounded up a couple of deputies and took out after the wagon got here just in time to take them murdering coyotes back to jail, I reckon. And jail, senior Sheriff, is exactly where they belong. But listen, listen, Cisco. After all you two have done for me, you can't walk out like this. Senior Steve, everything is all right now. You have your goal and it's time for Pancho and me to rise. Your time to eat and p your un hungry, hombre. Oh, that settles it, Poncho. You and Cisco are coming to the ranch with me. It isn't far, and my mother's the world's best cook for a long time. Pancho. Look for the world's best cook. We go, Cisco. N. Pancho, I cannot disappoint. You see, Senor Steve? We will accept your invitation. Cisco. Eh, Pancho? That's a fine big meal we get to say you're steamed, Poncho. See, it was. But you ate much too much. Amigo, you realize you are greatly overweight. You should reduce. Pancho try hard to reduce long time. Poncho try hard. Oh, now Poncho. That is hard to believe. After eating that tremendous meal, you tell me you are trying to lose weight? That how Pancho lose the weight. Keep chico you reduce by eating big meals. Strange way to reduce chico. How does it work? Well, if the arms you punch, you work hard, they get thin. No, that is true. And if the legs are punch you work hard, they get thin too. No, see, that also is true. But still I do not understand. No, it's very simple. Cisco work make the arms thin. Work make the legs thin. And much food make poncho stomach work hard. So pontic stomach get thin too. No. Oh, Poncho. Oh. And so ends another exciting adventure with O. Henry's famous Robin Hood of the west, the Cisco Kid.
