Narrator
And now, the Cisco Kid in our exciting story, the Manhunt. This is the story of one of the greatest Manhunts known to the West. While the hunter and hunted were both men of cunning and courage. Both swift with the six gun and able to down another man with a single blow. The difference between the two was the side of the law each had chosen. One of them, the Cisco Kid, upheld and respected the law. While the other, scoff, Clemens defied and sneered at it. As our story opens, Scarfe and his henchmen Reed Larsen are behind the walls of the Arizona Territorial Penitentiary.
Scott Clemens
I swear I never saw a man in prison attack a rock the way you do, Scott. Breaking them up. Making little ones out of big ones. It's a good way to keep in condition till I get out of here, Reed. No way to get out of here, Scott. I do and I'm going to make my break. The next time that guard comes around, take me with you, Scott. I've been waiting for a chance to make a breakthrough. No, I'm playing a lone hand. I got a long awaited friend. I know you, Jack. I know how you feel about the man who's responsible for your being here. Then you know that I won't rest until I kill him. Sure, I know I'm a good man with a horse and a gun. I can help you get him. I don't need no help once I meet up with him. Let me go with you, please.
Flossie Osborne
Shut up. Shut up.
Scott Clemens
Here comes a guy. What are you doing?
Narrator
So, Gambia, want to spend a couple of days in solitary?
Scott Clemens
No, God, we don't. But how would you like to spend the rest of your week? You sure got that chin of your handcuffs around his neck in a hurry. Here, finish them off before any of the other guards come this way. There.
Narrator
Hey.
Flossie Osborne
Come on.
Scott Clemens
Let's get on the move. As soon as I get his rifle and six hand. There's some of the other prisoners are starting to come this way. All right, all right. Let's go. Hey, there's a commotion at the far end of the rock pile. Must have noticed the guard was missing. What do we do now, Scott? Get up these bushes. This underbrush will hide us. Couple of mounted guards are riding toward us. I'll head for the river. We'll never make it across.
Narrator
I'll see us.
Scott Clemens
How did we hide in those river weeds? Come on. Come on.
Narrator
Hurry.
Kachava Narrator
I am.
Scott Clemens
I've run this rest. I go faster. There's the river just ahead. Yeah, I sit hard. Here you go. Here you go. These weeds ain't going to hide us completely. Get behind this log. What is up to my neck? You can still please this log Will hide our faces. Yeah. Yeah, they'll work. We keep quiet, Us. We'll stay here till dark. Where are we going after that, Scott? When? My sister Klossy's ranch. Outside a gunlock. Didn't you tell me you killed her husband? She won't help you, will she? She'll help me all right. All she knows is that her husband was killed by the same man that put me in jail. I reckon you know what you're doing, Scott. I'm willing to do anything you tell me. I just keep thinking we'll soon be free. And I just keep thinking about the hombre that's responsible for me being here. And there's nothing will make a man stronger than hate. You sure do hate that hombre. I wouldn't want to be in his boots when you meet him. When I do, I'm gonna make him pay for what I've been through. Before I kill him, he's gonna suffer for every day I spent in these irons and for every rock I had to break. Who is he, Scarlet? Do I know him? You know his reputation even if you don't know him. He's the Cisco Kid. When I'm through with him, that reputation's gonna be on a to. We getting near the town of Gunlock, Cisco. Hey, Pancho. We should be able to see it very soon. Oh, that old why we slow down, Cisco. Give Diablo and Loco a breather. Poncho. That was a hard ride. We made hot iceberg. Not over jet. Nor will it be over until we catch up with that killer, Scott Clemens. Why, the name of the other one would escape with that Clemens hombre Reed Larson. He is also wanted for murder as well as prison bake. But all the sheriffs missed by the Colonel get passes out after the two bandidos. And they're not catch them yet. How's Cisco go to catch him, huh? That Clemens only hates me and will seek revenge. What do you mean, Cisco? What do you mean? He is looking for me even as I am looking for him. Maybe you better sit home, Pancho. Join one of the passes and look for those killers. Ah, Pancho. No.
Narrator
It's no good.
Scott Clemens
This is a personal matter between Clemens and myself. He has let it be known that he wants to meet me in a gunfight. And I intend that he will come to gunluck. I think Scott Clemens will try to get in touch with his sister, Seora Flossy Osborn. Daddy. Seora would think Cisco killed her. Say she refuses to believe anyone except her brother, Scott Panchin. I Think she tells you where to find her brother, Cisco? I do not expect her to, Pancho. But perhaps I can get a lead on him through her. Maybe she needed a draggles. We must take that chance if we hope to catch Clemens and Larson. I will not rest again until they are behind bars. Let us ride, Pop. Yellow.
Andrew Rines
Come on.
Scott Clemens
This your sister's ranch?
Narrator
Stop.
Scott Clemens
Yeah. You sure she won't turn us in for no reward? Don't worry. I know how to handle her. Must have seen us. Someone's at the door. Let me do all the time.
Flossie Osborne
Scott. What are you doing here?
Scott Clemens
Howdy, Frosty. Well, that's no way to greet your only brother.
Flossie Osborne
The sheriff's been around here asking about you.
Scott Clemens
What'd you tell him?
Flossie Osborne
Told him the truth, that I hadn't seen or heard from you.
Scott Clemens
Good girl, huh? Aren't you gonna ask us in?
Flossie Osborne
No. I won't turn you in, but I won't help you.
Scott Clemens
Come on, Scott, we better get going. Not so fast. We need help, Flossie. And we ain't leaving here till we get it.
Flossie Osborne
What is it you need?
Scott Clemens
Ammunition and some food.
Flossie Osborne
You don't have any ammunition. But you can have whatever food I have in the house if you'll leave before Bobby comes home from school.
Scott Clemens
I clean forgot about him. How is my little nephew Bobby? Ever told him about his uncle's scarf?
Flossie Osborne
You know I haven't.
Scott Clemens
Not so proud of your big brother, eh? Well, we'll leave if you get us what we need. You better get inside, Rick. Yeah. I don't like standing on here. Somebody might ride by and see us. Tell you what, Flossie, read here. I'll rustle us some grub while you ride into town and buy that ammunition for us. I sure am hungry. And before you answer no, Flossy, you better think of Bobby. We ain't leaving without that ammunition. You better get going.
Flossie Osborne
There's nothing else I can do, Scott. But if any harm comes to Bobby because of you, those posses won't have to catch you. I'll kill you myself.
Scott Clemens
Set your mind to rest, sister. Nothing will happen to your son. We'll leave when we get that ammunition. Son's mad. We going to leave? Of course not. I ain't leaving here till I get the Cisco Kid. And though she don't know it, my sister Flossy's going to help me. We getting near to the ranch with a scar bomber, sister. We should be close to it by now, Pancho. Right in the back of us, we have a boy and a pony. Hey, Looks like he's coming from school. I see the lunch pail.
Flossie Osborne
The books.
Scott Clemens
Where is this little Nino? Where is this young
Flossie Osborne
girl? Howdy. Do you mind if I ride with you? I'm going the same way.
Scott Clemens
Well, we are glad to have your company, young senor. And glad they had the combat. A little nino.
Flossie Osborne
Someday I want to get me a brace of guns just like yours. And I want to learn to shoot them just like my dad used to.
Scott Clemens
Well, I hope you will get a pair as good as these, young senor. Little Nino's father, he'll give him the buns when he grow up.
Flossie Osborne
My father's dead. I'll get him for myself. I want to kill the man that murdered him.
Scott Clemens
So, Santos, that is violent talk for such a young seor.
Flossie Osborne
You bet I do. I saw him do it.
Scott Clemens
Tell me, young senor, do you know this hombre's name?
Flossie Osborne
Dry Goats. And Maverick is called the Cisco Kid.
Scott Clemens
The Cisco Kid? What you say? You say you saw the Cisco Kid kill your father?
Flossie Osborne
Young senor, I saw him with my own two eyes.
Scott Clemens
What is your name, young?
Flossie Osborne
My name's Bobby Osborne.
Scott Clemens
Your father's name was also Bob Osborne.
Flossie Osborne
Did you know my dad?
Scott Clemens
See, I did, young senor Bobby. And I can tell you your father was not killed by the Cisco Kid.
Flossie Osborne
I don't care what you say. I know what I saw. That's what my mother told Senor Bobby.
Scott Clemens
Pancho tells you this? One momento, Pancho. Tell me, Senor Bobby, what did the Homri who killed your father look like?
Flossie Osborne
No. He was as big as you are, mister. Four two six guns like you do. His face wasn't like yours. He was mean looking. I'll never forget it.
Scott Clemens
Aren't you know that all the time?
Flossie Osborne
I killed your padre, you keep saying that. I know he did.
Scott Clemens
Perhaps we can help you find your father's murderer, Senor Bobby. We are going to see your mother.
Flossie Osborne
Mom didn't tell me we were having company.
Scott Clemens
What you need, you will soon find out. Come on, let us ride up. Yamaha, As soon as you finish cooking on that stove. Reed, I'm gonna burn these prison clothes. I'll be glad to see the last of them. Hey, if someone just wrote up Scott. Silly Flossy. Maybe she's come back from town with that ammunition. No, no. She ain't had time to get there and back. What brings you back so soon, Flossie?
Flossie Osborne
I saw Bobby coming home as I was on my way into town.
Scott Clemens
And you didn't get the ammunition?
Flossie Osborne
No, Scott, you've got to leave here right now.
Scott Clemens
You know I can't do that, sis. Besides, I'd like to see my nephew. I ain't seen him since he was a year old.
Flossie Osborne
But Bobby isn't alone. There are two hombres with him.
Scott Clemens
Maybe it's the sheriff's father. Is it possible?
Flossie Osborne
No. Cisco Kid and his partner. Now you know why you have to leave here, Cisco.
Scott Clemens
I've been waiting to kill him. And you come back without the ammunition.
Flossie Osborne
You're not gonna kill anybody while Bobby's here.
Scott Clemens
You're forgetting that Cisco's a sidewinder that killed your husband.
Flossie Osborne
I'm not forgetting anything. There's not going to be any more shooting on this ranch.
Scott Clemens
We can't do no shooting. We ain't got no ammunition. Are you sure you ain't got some fussy. We can't fight Cisco off. He'll take us back to prison. Fossil, you got to help us get away from here.
Flossie Osborne
What do you want me to do?
Scott Clemens
Put on these prison clothes of Reeds. They'll just about fit you. Then get on your horse and ride away from here. Yeah, Cisco chases you. That'll give us a chance to escape.
Flossie Osborne
Why don't you leave right now?
Scott Clemens
Cuz we'll get caught. Do it for Bobby. You said you didn't want to see him. Have him see no shooting.
Flossie Osborne
All right, I'll do it. But only for Bobby's sake.
Scott Clemens
Get those prison clothes, Reed. Put them over your riding clothes and get going.
Flossie Osborne
All right. When I get back, I don't want either of you to be here.
Scott Clemens
Let's get our gear together and make plants. Scott, we ain't going nowhere. But you told your sister and I told you. I was gonna use my sister to trap Cisco. How you gonna do it? When Cisco's chasing Flossy, you won't be thinking of what's behind him. You mean you're going after him? I'm going after him. Kill him with his own guns. If you can get close enough to Cisco, you can bust him in half with your bare hands. You ain't been breaking those rocks for nothing. In the excitement of the chase, I'll get close enough. Ain't your sister liable to get hurt? That's her lookout. I only got one thought in my head to kill the Cisco Kid.
Narrator
And if Scott Clemens succeeds in executing his vicious plan. Cisco will be dead. In just a moment. We'll return to the Cisco Kid.

Narrator
And now back to the Cisco Kid in our gripping story the Manhunt. When the killer Scott Clemens escaped from prison, the greatest manhunt the west had ever known began. However, Scarf and his henchmen Reed Larson succeed in making their way to the ranch of Scarf's sister, Flossie Osborne. Scarf knows that his sworn enemy, the Cisco Kid, will come there to look for him. Trailing Scarf, Cisco and Poncho meet Flossie's young son Bobby, who is under the mistaken impression that Cisco has killed his father. When Flossie sees Cisco on the road, she warns Scarf, who sets up an ambush whereby Cisco will be killed.
Flossie Osborne
Now there's a ranch house.
Scott Clemens
Now Cisco.
Flossie Osborne
Look.
Scott Clemens
Normally the prison clothes ride away from the ranch house and a horse. That is one of the Banderas we are after. Come, Poncho. Hop Yabba.
Flossie Osborne
What a part you leave by calling you Sisco.
Scott Clemens
I have no time to explain now, young singer Bobby. Faster the album, faster the move.
Flossie Osborne
Go, go, go. Hey, wait for me, Jovino.
Scott Clemens
Bobby and I can keep up with our Chico. It is just as well, Poncho. I do not want him around when the fighting begins.
Flossie Osborne
Ned.
Scott Clemens
Scott.
Flossie Osborne
Pantino. Cisco.
Scott Clemens
Oh, it's not big enough for Scott. Must be the one that called Ray Larson. We getting closer, Cisco. Watch out for that gully up ahead, Pancho. We'll have to jump it. That Bandido boat just dropped the guarding Nice Santos. Bandido's horse did not make the jump.
Flossie Osborne
The horse pulled down in the gully. Cisco.
Scott Clemens
That bandito hurt. Somebody was thrown clear. Did I think he was finally hurt. Poncho. Senora Husband. Senora. Senora. Are you hurt?
Flossie Osborne
No, I'm not hurt.
Scott Clemens
What is senora doing those clothes. Here, let me help you up. Senora. Why are you wearing those prison clothes? The senor did not tell us his clothes could only be for one reason. She was sent out to decoy us. So that Scott Clemens and Reed Larson could escape. Get out yourself that cop ombre and
Flossie Osborne
jump down at you.
Scott Clemens
You're wrong, sir. No, we didn't escape. You are right, Omri. You did not escape. You are going back to jail. You ain't going to put here, cuz you're going to be a dead man. Take care of him. You'll take care of nothing but a punch of a jaw. Fight one I'm sure you hook that punch.
Flossie Osborne
Stop it. Stop it all. You stop this fighting. This gun in my hand means business.
Scott Clemens
Well, thanks. I wasn't figuring on your help, but I'm sure glad to get it. Where'd she get that gun, Scott? This you ought to grab the gun from Pinterest holster, Cisco. Yeah, boy. It's not your fault, Chico. We could not help it. I'll relieve you that young Fosse. I told you. You're gonna be a dead man, Cisco.
Flossie Osborne
I'm not giving this gun to you. Stop. Or to anyone else.
Scott Clemens
You mean you'd shoot your own brother?
Flossie Osborne
I will if I have to. Ho. Ho. Chi. Hey, Mom. What happened? Are you all right? Don't come down into this belly, Bobby. I'm all right. I'm gonna help you. I mustn't. That's the man who killed dad. The Cisco King. Bobby. Bobby, go back to the house.
Scott Clemens
I could tell the young Sadie that Cisco not kill nobody.
Flossie Osborne
I'll tell me that again. I saw him do it.
Scott Clemens
But Senor Bobby. You are pointing at Scott Clemens. I am the Cisco Kid.
Flossie Osborne
I don't care what name he uses. He's the man I saw gun down my father. I can't believe it. My own brother Bobby. Are you sure? I never lie to you, Mom. She's a killer. You told me it was the Cisco kids cop. And I believed you.
Scott Clemens
Bobby's making a mistake, Flossy. He don't know what he saw. I think Bobby knows what he saw. My dear me that Scott coyote and kill his own sister's old one.
Flossie Osborne
Give me that gun, Mom. I said I'd shoot Dad's cure and I'm going. Bobby, no. Ow.
Scott Clemens
Let me Go and steal you or I'll choke the life of ya. You sneaking coyote. If you heard that boy do what
Flossie Osborne
he tells you to. Bobby.
Scott Clemens
That you hurt that young Nino Juban dilled you. That's quick thinking, Scar. Hang on to that kid. That's what I'm doing now, Flossy. Give me that gun.
Flossie Osborne
Let Bobby go, Scar. Please let him go.
Scott Clemens
He don't mean nothing to me. If you want him alive, give me that gun.
Flossie Osborne
What are you gonna do with it?
Scott Clemens
Nothing to you or Bobby. I came here to get Cisco. Hombre. You have been making big talk about fighting and killing. I will give you the chance to back up your words. That's what I've been waiting for, you yellow livered toad. What you do, Seascore?
Narrator
What you do?
Scott Clemens
What you do? There's a big flat rock at the top of this gully. First I will go up and lay my two guns on that rock. Sounds like a trick, Scott. What are you gonna do that for, Sisko? To give your prison mate that gun battle he's looking for. If he is not yellow. I'll take that gun battle. How we gonna do it? I will leave the guns on the rock and come back to the bottom of the gully. We will start the same distance from that rock and make a dash for it. Whoever gets to that rock first gets hold of the six gun first. You got yourself a deal, Cisco.
Flossie Osborne
Cisco.
Scott Clemens
Cisco not do this. Too dangerous.
Flossie Osborne
What about Bobby? What are you gonna do with Bobby? I ain't afraid, Mom.
Scott Clemens
I'll let Bobby go, sister. After Cisco gets rid of those six guns and you get rid of the one you're holding on us. Make her get rid of her gun first.
Narrator
Stop.
Flossie Osborne
All right. There.
Scott Clemens
Now it's your turn, Cisco. For I don't let go of Bobby very well. Only, aren't you a king? You should not do this, Cisco. You think you can beat him, Scott? Sure I can. Now, Clemens. I lay these two guns on the rock. The grip of this one toward you and the other one toward the place I will be. That's all right. Now come back down here, Cisco. Take your hands off young singer.
Narrator
Bobby Clemens.
Scott Clemens
Not till you get to the bottom of this gully. I'm almost to the bottom, hombre. So you are, Cisco. And here's Bobby is a prisoner.
Flossie Osborne
Hey, don't shove me around.
Scott Clemens
Going after the guns. Good work, Scott. Get them guns out of the way, Young fear.
Flossie Osborne
Bobby. Bobby. Drop to the ground.
Scott Clemens
Can I get my hands on those guns? You will not obey and grab your feet while I Can kick your face in.
Andrew Rines
Cisco.
Scott Clemens
Business car.
Narrator
Go after.
Scott Clemens
Those do not go after nothing, you coyote. Look out.
Flossie Osborne
Scott broke away. He's got one of those guns.
Scott Clemens
I've got the gun. And you will not get the chance to use it. Om. I'm going to blow your head off. Not well. I can hold your hand in the air like this. Hang on, Cisco. It ain't going to do you nothing.
Flossie Osborne
Look.
Scott Clemens
That we shall see. I'm stronger than you are, Cisco. I ain't breaking them nuts for nothing. I. And when I get my hand down to your face, I'm going to pull the trigger. You are strong. Nobody but that's strong enough.
Flossie Osborne
There.
Scott Clemens
Twist that Maverick's hand, Cisco.
Flossie Osborne
Twist the gun at his hand.
Scott Clemens
Quiet, sis. Go ahead, D. But you coyote that shot miss. But the next one my fist will not miss either. And this. Get rid of that gun. I'll tear you apart with my bare faces.
Flossie Osborne
Go.
Scott Clemens
I've heard all the talk from you, Aubrey, that I want to hear for you. Any maverick that hides behind a child deserves one in the face, one in the body, one the jaw.
Flossie Osborne
Golly, I never saw such a fight in my life.
Scott Clemens
Cisco, you give that Jelly what he got coming. He not half what he deserves. So the law will take care of him and his partner. And they will not escape again. So good like those. Chicken dumpling.
Flossie Osborne
Thank you, Poncho. Pleasure to cook for a man who eats the way you do.
Scott Clemens
Do not encourage him, senor, or you will have Poncho for a steady border.
Flossie Osborne
I'd like that. Why don't you insist? Go stay with us, Poncho.
Scott Clemens
Oh, I'm afraid we cannot do that, Senor Bobby. Much as we would like it. I am glad that your opinion of the Cisco Kita has changed.
Flossie Osborne
I never met you in the first place, Cisco. I connected your name with Scott Clemons Face. I never would have shot you. Because I was really looking for Scott.
Scott Clemens
Yes, you will have to look no longer, Senor Bobby, because Scott Clemens will never bother you again. Bulldoz, bandidos. Never bother nobody again.
Flossie Osborne
When I grow up, I'm going after Bannon just like Cisco and Pancho. That's what my dad would like me to do. You think he's going to shoot Cisco?
Scott Clemens
When you are old enough, I'll be glad to.
Flossie Osborne
Talking about growing up, a grown boy needs his sleep. How about it, Bobby?
Scott Clemens
Young Senor Bobby like Pancho to tell him the story before he goes to sleep.
Flossie Osborne
I like that. Swell. Pancho.
Scott Clemens
Bueno, Pancho.
Flossie Osborne
Pancho do this.
Scott Clemens
What story? Are you going to tell Pancho? Let me see. What story, Pancho? Pancho tells the story of the three bears.
Flossie Osborne
The three bears.
Scott Clemens
See the three bears. Once upon a time there were three bears. Uncle Fernando bear and Aunt Mariana bear. And little Maria bear. Only little Maria bear. She not so little. She weigh between 400 pounds.
Flossie Osborne
But that's not right, Poncho. It goes. There was a mama bear, a papa bear and a baby bear. That's what Poncho say.
Scott Clemens
And Uncle Fernando bear say, Aunt Maria bear, why do not cook? The good is very fine.
Flossie Osborne
No, Pancho. It was porridge. And the porridge was too hot. So the bears decided to go out for a walk till it got cool. And while they were gone, Goldilocks came along and ate the porridge,
Scott Clemens
ate the pudding.
Flossie Osborne
Goldilocks went upstairs and went to bed. Bobby, you put Pancho to sleep.
Scott Clemens
I guess Pancho is just a growing boy too. Senora Frosty,
Flossie Osborne
I'm too late to go
Scott Clemens
back to Gunlock someday to see that young single Bobby. Oh, we will do that, Poncho. Very soon. Very soon. You and Bobby certainly had a long conversation before we left. Tell me, what did you two talk about? Well, I told you, Barn to say to Bobby, young senor Bobby, how you like school? And what did Bobby answer when you asked him how he liked school? I asked Bobby, how do you like school?
Flossie Osborne
You know what Bobby said to Francisco? Do you know what he say?
Scott Clemens
What did he say? Bobby say, I like school. When it closed.
Flossie Osborne
Oh.
