Transcript

[Pancho]

Foreign.

[Andrew Rines]

Welcome to the Old Time Radio Westerns. I'm your host, Andrew Rines, and I'm excited to bring you another episode absolutely free. This is one of over 80 episodes released monthly for your enjoyment. Now, let's get into this episode.

[Narrator]

Here's adventure, here's romance. Here's the famous Robin Hood of the Old West.

[Pancho]

Cisco. He's sheriff. He's getting closer this way. Pancho Famano, the Cisco Kid.

[Narrator]

Now, the Cisco Kid and are exciting story. Stampede on the Chisholm Trail. It was well nigh impossible for a trail boss to drive a big herd of cattle up the Chisholm Trail to Abilene without losing a few head. Eventually, with hundreds of these sprays at large, it was only natural that someone would think of rounding up the sprays, herding them on to Abilene and turning them over to their brand owners for pay. It was only natural, too, that unscrupulous men would think of a way to profit from this work. As our story opens, a number of men are sitting their horses some miles southwest of Avalanche. Two of the men are talking.

[Luke]

You see that dust? It's a small herd coming in now, Chris.

[Cisco Kid]

Hurt us strays?

[Luke]

I don't know yet. Let me take them. Field license?

[Cisco Kid]

Yeah.

[Narrator]

Look.

[Luke]

Yeah. Now we'll see. Yeah, this stray's all right. I can make out several different brands. Three men herding.

[Cisco Kid]

How big a herd?

[Luke]

Oh, 200 odd head. This will be easy, Chris. We'll gun down them cowhands, take over that herd and collect the money for bringing them in.

[Cisco Kid]

Now, wait a minute, Luke. How do we know about what? The owners of the cattle made arrangements with them particular boys to round up their strays.

[Luke]

There ain't any monopoly on rounding up strays. Anybody can do it. The owners ask any questions, we'll tell them we rounded up these cattle ourselves. They won't ask questions. They'll be glad enough to buy back this trade. Look to your guns, boys. Joe, you take the army riding point. Sam, you get that glued on the swing. Me and Chris will ride back and gun down the drag.

[Cisco Kid]

Man, hit that.

[Narrator]

Right up to him.

[Luke]

Friendly bike now, Chris. And that cut loose.

[Cisco Kid]

Right. Howdy, stranger. Howdy.

[Luke]

Yeah. Them hombres made you ride back here in the dust all the way from Texas?

[Pancho]

Yes, bro.

[Luke]

Well, maybe we can fix that.

[Cisco Kid]

Let him have it, Chris.

[Luke]

Let the boys get the other two hombres.

[Cisco Kid]

Yeah, I've got them both, Luke.

[Luke]

Good. Chris, you tend to get in the bodies off the trail and up into the brush. Take Sam to help you Rest of us will haze in these here longhorns. Here's a mighty easy way to make money. I call it.

[Cisco Kid]

Ya there. Abilene, the lively cow. She's cool. Yeah, Pancho. Abilene is the shipping point for cattle that come up the Chisholm Trail. When the cowhands get to Abile. After spending weeks on the trail with Carol. They helped to make the town lively bust loose. No, that is just what they do, amigo. But now we have left Ablane behind us. Sing a slim run, Cisco. Yeah. This is senor's first trip for his trail boss. He is anxious to make good because he's a friend of our sponsor. We are anxious for him to make good. Why say your ran not up here now? According to my calculations, he should have been here a week ago. Calculations? It may be that he needs help.

[Sheriff]

Wait.

[Cisco Kid]

Hold up. There's a herd ahead of us. Coming this way. No, that cannot be, Senor Slim. That is a small herd. Senior Slim got 2000 heads. No, about that many. Chico, let us go talk with these hands. Pancho, come on. Go.

[Pancho]

Noble, double the hand.

[Cisco Kid]

Go now. Go.

[Pancho]

Go.

[Cisco Kid]

They may have word of Senor Schlim for us. Somebody's not been on the trail long, Pancho. Not long. Their gear is thick and span, either worn or dusty. We will talk with these two hombres. A word with your senores.

[Luke]

What do you want?

[Cisco Kid]

We ain't got time to stop and talk. We'll keep you only a moment. I'm hoping you can give me some word of my friend seoran.

[Luke]

Who's he?

[Cisco Kid]

He's coming up the trail with a big herd of Double Bar Excalibur. Seoran, the trail boy?

[Luke]

No, we don't know nothing about him.

[Cisco Kid]

Have you been on the trail long? That's none of your plastic business.

[Luke]

That's right, it ain't.

[Sheriff]

Come on, Chris.

[Cisco Kid]

Hit those hombres. Not nice, hombre, Cisco. Anything but. You're shifty eyed and quarrelsome. But then that is none of our business. So what? What, Cisco? What? Why'd you stop? Why'd you stop looking at those buzzards circling over the trail back there? Of course, there may be no connection. But the hombres look guilty about something. I think we'll find out why those buzzards are circling there. Up there. Come on.

[Pancho]

Find out why.

[Cisco Kid]

Here's the place, Pancho. For the abajo. First we'll look at the trailer Migo kids cannot see nothing in the clear but colored hoops. Not so sure. Not so sure neither. Right here is where Two riders stop riding from the same direction we just did, Cisco. Say, look over here, Chico. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Another hombre was riding toward Abilene, following the Carlos dragon. The Carlos. And here is where his body struck the ground. His horse plunged to us. He's go. Come this way, amigo. Here are the marks of a body being dragged on the ground. Now I'm beginning to understand the reason for those buzzards. This body was dragged up into the bush. Follow this trail, Pancho. Follow. As I suspected. See, we can do nothing for him, amigo, except to ride after those hombres and talk to them. They kill him, huh? There is no doubt but what they did. Let us cover the body with brush poncho. We'll ride after them. And perhaps we will take them to the sheriff.

[Luke]

You know who that big hombre was, Chris?

[Narrator]

No.

[Luke]

He was a Cisco Kid.

[Cisco Kid]

Oh, him. Never happened to meet up with him before. Heard plenty about him, though.

[Luke]

Yeah, that umbre lines himself right plumb up with the law always. Oh, there's lots of sheriffs don't know that. Lots of them think he's an outlaw.

[Cisco Kid]

Yeah, but Cisco's rode down the trail, Luke. We ain't gotta worry about him.

[Luke]

Yeah, I ain't so sure. Look this over mighty careful. Another thing. Don't forget this. Any trail sign is just like an open book to Cisco.

[Cisco Kid]

Ain't no sense asking for trouble before it gets to it.

[Luke]

No, but it's the same. I don't. Hey, who are these zombies riding toward us out of Abilene?

[Cisco Kid]

Maybe a couple of cattle owners and their men out to buy back this cat.

[Luke]

Yeah. Yeah, that's probably it.

[Cisco Kid]

Yeah.

[Luke]

Yeah, that's who we are.

[Cisco Kid]

I'm George Wallace of the Circle R. I see you got some of my strays there, boys.

[Luke]

Yeah, we got some. Who's this gent?

[Narrator]

Adam's my name. I own the Quarter D. Yeah, well.

[Luke]

We got some Quarter D stairs too.

[Cisco Kid]

All right. If our boys cut out our cattle so we can count them up. And then we'll pay you for it.

[Luke]

Yeah, go right ahead. Help yourselves.

[Narrator]

Mighty glad you boys got this idea. Rounding up strays and herding them in. Saves us money.

[Pancho]

You're busy, boys.

[Cisco Kid]

Tell her.

[Pancho]

I see it. You sickle. Our hands get busy too. How about you and your boys lending us a hand?

[Cisco Kid]

Yeah, sure, sure.

[Luke]

Just a minute. Look to your guns, Chris. Here comes that Cisco Kid again. We may have trouble with him.

[Cisco Kid]

I got a better idea. Look, maybe we can get these hands to help us. If we can, then we'll write for the sheriff's office and tell them Cisco.

[Sheriff]

Killed the herd riders.

[Luke]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good. Yeah, that's just what we'll do.

[Cisco Kid]

I would like to talk to you two hombres for a moment.

[Luke]

Yeah, we got nothing to talk to you about. Cisco, I want to know how long.

[Cisco Kid]

You'Ve been hurting these cattle along the trail. Guess, hombre, I could guess you've been hurting them not more than a mile or two. Also, what about those bodies back there in the brush?

[Luke]

Why, you get down off that horse, Cisco.

[Cisco Kid]

You'll be careful, hombre? Just go pick jewels. Ah, what are you going to do?

[Pancho]

Hey, what's going on over there? And these hombres playing?

[Cisco Kid]

These are their cattle, Mr. Wall. I'll show you what I'm gonna do.

[Pancho]

Foodies, you want to come in with.

[Cisco Kid]

[Pancho]

Hey, give us a hand here, Mr. O.

[Cisco Kid]

You miss your hand.

[Pancho]

All right, boys, never mind those tranners for now. Watch down. What are you thinking? Let me explain.

[Cisco Kid]

Let's get out here fast, Chris.

[Pancho]

Right.

[Luke]

Come on, get our boys.

[Cisco Kid]

Yeah. Oh, blast it all. We didn't get our money. We can get her later. Right now we got to get to that sheriff's office in a hurry. Yes. Nothing much going on around this office today.

[Sheriff]

They might just well stayed home.

[Cisco Kid]

Hey.

[Sheriff]

Hey, Deputy.

[Cisco Kid]

Yes, sir.

[Sheriff]

Old man Abbott been in again?

[Cisco Kid]

Not today.

[Sheriff]

It's a wonder. He's been in here for the past three days. Want to know if I've heard anything about them Double Bar ex cattle of his and Sunday? Should I know anything about him?

[Cisco Kid]

I don't know, Sheriff.

[Sheriff]

Well, neither do I. Keeps saying he shouldn't have made some hand named Slim Rand his trail boss. What in time do I care who his trail boss is? Now who's this?

[Cisco Kid]

Sheriff, you better get busy. Hey, you sure had been some murders out in the trail.

[Luke]

Murders? Me and Chris here and a couple of the boys was herding some strays up the trail a couple miles southwest of here. We saw that Cisco Kid, the one that rides with him, come out of the brush and get on their horses and ride away fast.

[Cisco Kid]

When we investigated, we found the bodies.

[Sheriff]

That Cisco Kid, huh?

[Luke]

That's right, sheriff.

[Sheriff]

I get that pussy out right away. You boys better ride back there with me and show me the place.

[Luke]

Yeah, well, we'll tell you where it is, Sheriff. But me, I ain't got any hankering to mix with that Cisco Kid.

[Cisco Kid]

Me neither. He gun a man down, quits he'd look at him.

[Sheriff]

All right, all right, you're scared. You can tell me where it is. I'll be right back. Hey, Deputy. Deputy. Go out and round up a posse.

[Luke]

Yeah, that'll take care of the disco kid.

[Cisco Kid]

And what about our money?

[Luke]

And we'll go collect from that Wallace and Shannon. They'll pay us and then. You know, I got an idea, Chris.

[Cisco Kid]

What is it?

[Luke]

You remember Cisco asked about a friend who has come up the trail with a big herd of cattle?

[Cisco Kid]

Yeah.

[Luke]

Well, if you and me and the boys was to ride to meet that herd and stampeded it, it'll leave a lot of stray.

[Cisco Kid]

She would. I couldn't round up more say 3/4 of them cattle.

[Luke]

Yeah, and then we could round up the rest and bring them on in.

[Cisco Kid]

That's a good ide.

[Luke]

After we finish with the sheriff, we'll go meet that herd and stampeded at night.

[Cisco Kid]

Oh, it's not too bad, Poncho. We're both lucky to get away as we did. Cowhand's not listen to explanation. What you say, what you say. No, they would not. No, we had no reason to stay there and fight with them any longer. Right till the sheriff's rovers. Now she's cold. And speaking of the sheriff is the sheriff. Well, they're posse I would say. Oh, they have a hole. What is there? Singer Sheriff.

[Pancho]

What is there?

[Cisco Kid]

Singer Sheriff? Well, it's a Cisco Clear me comp and I were on our way to your office, sheriff.

[Sheriff]

Well, that's fine Cisco. Come on, I'll go back with you.

[Cisco Kid]

But you have an earl to perform. Have you now?

[Sheriff]

Oh, not exactly. Not now.

[Cisco Kid]

That is its most performed.

[Sheriff]

Turn your horses around boys. We'll we'll escort Cisco back.

[Cisco Kid]

Well, that is kind of your sheriff to give all your attention to us.

[Sheriff]

Oh, not at all Cisco. You and your partner ride right in the middle. It may kind of circle round boy.

[Cisco Kid]

Quite like this, Cisco. Neither do I you. But for now we will go along with the sheriff.

[Sheriff]

And one thing more, Cisco. If you get no objections, I'll relieve you and this other one of your guns.

[Cisco Kid]

And if we have objection, then we'll relieve you of them anyway.

[Sheriff]

I'm taking you to on suspicion of murder.

[Narrator]

And ringed as they are by the guns of the posse, it looks as if Cisco and Poncho would have to obey the sheriff. In just a moment we'll return to the Cisco Kid. Now back to the Cisco Kid and our exciting story. Stampede on the Chisholm Trail. Worried because their friend Slim Rand in his first Jabba's trail boss has not yet arrived at Abilene with the herd of cattle. Cisco and Pancho start out of Abilene to investigate. Meanwhile, some outlaws killed three cowhands. And took over the small herd of strays they were driving to Abilene. Then the outlaws reported to the sheriff that Cisco had committed the murders. At once the sheriff started out with a posse. And met and surrounded Cisco and Pancho. Who were on their way to the sheriff's office.

[Luke]

No.

[Sheriff]

That's what I said, Cisco. I'm taking you two in on suspicion of murder.

[Cisco Kid]

So that is it. What murder are you talking about, Senor Sheriff?

[Sheriff]

You know blame well. Three cowhands with a herd of strays.

[Cisco Kid]

And who told you I killed them?

[Sheriff]

That ain't important right now.

[Cisco Kid]

It is very important. This cannot kill nobody. Never should not kill nobody. Never.

[Sheriff]

You two are bad hombres. Wouldn't surprise me to hear you killed old man Abbott's trail boss and stole the whole horse.

[Cisco Kid]

Whose trail boss?

[Sheriff]

Old man Abbott. The double bar X.

[Cisco Kid]

Did you tell that to the Ombre who accused us?

[Sheriff]

I don't know whether I did or not. Come on now, Cisco. Hand over them guns of yours.

[Cisco Kid]

You too. Me too? No, Senor Sheriff. We are not going to hand over our guns. Through the middle of them pot you up there with.

[Pancho]

Open up on them boys. Let them have it. Keep fast that thing we get out of that one.

[Cisco Kid]

We took them by surprise. And they go up.

[Pancho]

Where we ride. Now, Cheese.

[Cisco Kid]

We're riding for Texas on the Chisholm Trail. Pancho, as fast as we can. Those bandidos rustle this small herd of cattle. They will soon get the idea of rusting a large herd.

[Pancho]

They may have the idea now.

[Cisco Kid]

That is what I'm afraid of. Those bandidos are the ones who accused us of murder. If that sheriff told them about Singer Slim's big herd of cattle coming up to trail our friend may be in trouble.

[Pancho]

Troubles?

[Luke]

Look ahead, Chris.

[Cisco Kid]

That's a big herd of cattle down there, Luke.

[Luke]

Yeah, a couple thousand head at a. I guess getting late in the day. We'll be bedding them down and night hurting any minute now.

[Cisco Kid]

Big plateau down there. My guess is that's where they'll night herd them.

[Luke]

Yeah. Plenty of water there. Yeah. Let's go over behind the bluff. We don't want to be seen.

[Sheriff]

Get out.

[Cisco Kid]

See? We're going to stampede them, cataloo.

[Luke]

Yeah, we sure are. Come night, we'll spread them all over this here country. And after they round up what they can and drive them on. We'll round up the rest.

[Cisco Kid]

We can't drive Double Bar X cattle right into Abilene. Somebody'd be sure to spot him and know we wasn't a regular trail rider.

[Luke]

And I ain't. You ever seen them buyers ride out from Abilene to meet the herds?

[Cisco Kid]

Buyers?

[Luke]

Yeah, they come out and try to buy under the market price before the owner can learn the market price. That is, if the owner's with the herd.

[Cisco Kid]

Ah, I see what you're getting at.

[Luke]

Yeah, I'll make out I'm the owner and we'll sell to one of them buyers for cash before we ever get to Abilene. Yeah, you and me's gonna make a lot of money in the cattle business, Chris.

[Cisco Kid]

Hey, let us find out if it's the Double Bar X hurt, Pancho. And we have a hard ride. Kisco. See, we could not come by the regular trail we had. We might have run into those Pontiros.

[Sheriff]

Then we give them ahead of time.

[Cisco Kid]

Hey, but we have no proof against them. And that is what we must have. Here's the camp poncho. And that's where your Slim goes. Not you Singer Slim.

[Pancho]

But it's not your senior Slim.

[Cisco Kid]

Well, so help me. If it ain't Cisco and Pancha. And Cisco. No glad to see you, Senor Slim. They've begun to worry about you, Cisco. I ain't had nothing but trouble all the way up the trail of here. Contrarious bunch of longhorns a man ever had to herd. But I ain't lost many of them. Come in and have some chow with me.

My thunder. Any coyotes that try it'll find they're in a mess of trouble. If I were you, I would warn my night riders at once, Pancho. And I'd be glad to ride tonight for you if you wish. Well, I'd sure appreciate it, Cisco. You think there's going to be trouble? I'm powerful anxious to make good on this job. You know how it is when a man's got a wife and a couple of youngsters. We'll help you all we can, senor Sleep. And p' ain't your help too. You see any rustlers, why don't you get out the old bullwhip like this? No. That'll fix him. Hey, Shorty.

Well, sponsour and I will ride to Aberling with you. We will tell Senor Abbott that you have done a fine job of delivering his cattle in good shape. Fine job Dead, you bandidos. And I think there'll be no more trouble with stampedes along the Chisholm Trail. Abbott not mad at Senor Slim, Cisco? No, he is not mad, Pancho. Not when he saw the good condition of his colors.
