The Cisco Kid in our exciting story Wild by Tomahawk, the land of the Nez Perce Indian lies far to the north of the desert country. It is a rich, bountiful land filled with sparkling streams and wild game. When the greedy eyes of Jack Coughlan beheld this land, his lust knew no bounds. Through devious connections, he was able to exert pressure on a corrupt Indian agent in Washington. And the land of the Nez Perce was declared open for exploration and settlement. This meant war with the Indians, and it was exactly what Jack wanted. As our story opens, Jack Coghan and his men are waiting to ambush an army quarter. Last two supply wagons. The army wagon's coming, Jake. Who there? How many troopers from the escort Rod? I came to six troopers and two soldiers on the wagon. The driver and the guard. Good. All right, boys. There's only eight of them. When that army wagon comes into sight, swoop down and kill them all. They sure don't have much of a guard for a gold shipment, do they, Jack? Who said anything about it being a gold shipment? Well, I. You don't think around here. I do all the thinking. Here comes that wagon now. All right, boys, let's get him. It's fighters. Get a boy. Kill your gun. We got four up with the first volley. Kill the other four. Good. Good. I'll take care of those eight troopers. They'll never fill the uniform again. God. You pull up the team. I'll get him, Jack. Couple of you boys get one of those boxes out of the wagon. Break it open. Now, what's in them boxes is so important, Jack? You'll see. Poor loud the horns for. But it's only army uniforms. That's why I wanted this wagon. I handpicked you men because you were fast with a gun. Weren't too particular about how you use it. That's right. We joined with you, Jack. Cause you told us we'd get rich. And you will, if you carry out my orders. When we get the Nez Perce Indians to go on the warpath, the army will have to fight them. The Indians will be put on the reservation and their land will belong to whoever claims it. And we're gonna be the hombres to claim it. Right. And when settlers come to this part of the country, you control the land and the settlers. Yeah, but what's in it for you? For me? I'm gonna rule this territory. I may even set up my own state. Now, we're with you, Jack. Right down the line. What's your first step? Put on those uniforms. You boys are gonna be United States Cavalry. And your first duty is to provoke a little Indian trouble. Remember, if you kill a few of those redskins, you can be certain the rest of them will go on a war. I know you and Pancho came here with good intention, Cisco. But I won't have any civilians mixing into army business. Cisco. Not mixing, General. Cisco tried to keep the Indians in the warpath. I came to see you, General Howard, because Chief Joseph of the Neighbors are friends of mine. Did Chief Joseph send you, Cisco? C. Gerald, These young warriors are very mad that the government is taking their land. They want war immediately. What's the Chief's attitude about war? The Chief is a wise man. He realizes the futility of warring against the Army. Even I'd want to see his people skill. Yeah, neither do I, Pancho. I'm faced with the necessity of carrying out orders that I believe are unfair. Then I can tell Chief Joseph that the army will leave the Nez Perce in peace. Confound it, Cisco, I'd like to do that. But orders are orders, and I'm a soldier. I have to carry them out. When the hombre is killed, he's a red or white. He's going to be the General Sport. That fault weighs heavily on my conscience. Tell me, Cisco, can you keep the Indians from the war path for a while? I will try, General. I will talk to Chief Joseph. Now. I'm going to try again to get that land evacuation order rescinded. That'd be good for the Indians in the army. However, General, if I am to succeed in keeping the Indians from war, I must be able to tell them that no action will be taken against them. You have my word for it, Cisco. No army unit will move against the Indians until I hear from Washington. Can it? I'll tell Cisco before the army moves. I will. It's imperative that the peace be kept on this frontier. It must be kept, General, to prevent the bloodshed of many people. First, in those uniforms, the boys look like a genuine cavalry detachment. Rob, we were lucky to find that cavalry guide in Pinch Garrion. What's the letter G stand for? In the white part of the play, the initial G stands for T Troop. The figure eight in the red part of the guidance stands for the 8 Cavalry. And that flag belongs to Troop G. 8 Cavalry. Correct. And it adds the authentic touch to my plan. It sure helps to make the boys look like real soldiers. They're going to be real soldiers, Ralph. They're the nucleus for my private army when I take over this territory. But how you gonna get them Indians riled up now? Going after that band of Appaloosa horses they're so proud of? You mean those big horses with the leopard spots and the hang poop facial about them the only have since before any of this territory was explored. And when we rustle them horses in these uniforms, the Nez Perce will think it's the army doing it. They'll put on their war bonnets for sure. Not even a Cisco Kid will be able to stop them. Cisco Kid? What's he doing here? He's trying to maintain peace between the army and the Nez Perce. From what I've heard of him, he might be able to do it. When those horses are stolen, no one will be able to keep those Indians off the war path. They believe bad luck will come to them if any of those horses fall into white men's hands. We're getting close to the Indian camp, Jack. There are the horses on the outskirts of the village. Now, boys, don't be afraid to let the Indians see you. Round up that bunch of spotted horses and drive them off. We'll make sure those guards don't escape. Kill them all. Be sure to let the rest of the village see you. This is going to start the biggest Indian uprising this country has ever seen. Cross sabers. Forward. Why Chief Joseph want you to meet him here? I do not know, Chico. We will soon find out. Here comes the chief now. What is this, Chief Joseph? Well, there s Pancho. Chief Joseph. Chief Joseph glad to see his friends Cisco Kid and Pancho. Why Chief Joseph not let Cisco and Pancho meet him at the Indian military? Young braves would have killed the Cisco Kid and Pancho had they ridden into the village. But why, Chief? We have always been friends to your people, Chief Joseph know this. After the great evil that has befallen the Nez Perce, no white man is safe in Indian village. What is great evil, Chief Joseph? The sacred horses of the Nez Verse have been stolen by soldiers, Chief Joseph sure of this? Many of my people saw their uniforms. I am sure the army would not do this to you, Chief Joseph. General Howard gave me his word that the army would make no move against your people until he had first notified me. My people not make mistakes. Soldiers steal sacred Appaloos hostage. Now young braves want war with white man. As chief of tribe, Joseph must lead them. There must be some mistake, Chief. Give me time to ride back to General Howard's headquarters and ask him for an explanation. Only one way to stop bloodshed between white man and red man. Cisco did tell General Howard. Appaloosa horses must be returned when sun rises and sets again one day. That's not enough time, Cisco. You have to make it enough time. Adios, Chief Joseph. We Ride. Come, Pancho. Up. Yellow. You promised that the army would make no move against the Indians, General Howard. I've kept that promise, Cisco. Chief Jose steal the Appaloosa horse. That accounts for those uniforms that were stolen. We just received news of it. The troopers guarding the wagon that carried the uniforms were found dead. The same bandidos what? Steal the army uniforms? Steal the horses from the Indians? It would seem, General, that someone is very anxious to stir up trouble between the Indians and the army. A hunch to that someone might be so. A land grabber by the name of Jack Coughlin. I have heard of him. What's his? It is Jack Coughlin and a corrupt Indian agent are responsible for the Nez Bears having to move off their land. That's the man, Cisco. If we can locate him and his gang, we'll find those horses in the army uniforms. You don't have the time, General Joseph. Give us one day to bring the Appaloosa horses back to Nezber. That means you only have until sundown tonight, aren't you? Now ride back to the Indian camp. General. Indians go to Kira, Cisco. We must tell them what we have learned. I'll call out two troops. Of course. Cavalry immediately. Cisco, we're going to try to find those horses and see that they return to the N fierce. You'll have to find those horses, General, if we are to defeat the evil purpose of that coyote. Jack Cocklin. Sun is down, Chief Joseph. Your friend Cisco Kid has not returned the sacred leopard spotted horses. Hey, c. It's wiser for young warriors to heed my counsel. No. Young braves take war path. Soldiers steal sacred horses. Soldiers must die. If you kill soldiers, more will come to take their place. Warriors will kill all soldiers who come to our land. Chief Joseph refuses to lead his people unf of certain death. If Chief Joseph is afraid, there are others who will lead. Wait. Let alone silence my people. Siskovki drives here now. Listen to the Cisco kids. My people, he is our friend. No white man is friends to Indian. Chief Joseph speaks the truth. Cisco Kid not speak truth. Listen to me. General Howard knows who stole your horses and kill your braves. General know it was soldiers who kill braves and steal horses. That's not so. You'll listen to Cisco. Listen no more. My brother Cisco Kid speaks with forked tongue. He tell you lies. Why should have said I lie. Red clown. Cisco Kid does not speak with a fork tongue. Find that red cloud shows hamahawk into the ground. Cisco. The challenge for me to fight him. Buncho. Well, this is Hooky. Do I will fight Red Cloud. Chief Joseph. Red Cloud will kill Cisco Kid. Death of Cisco Kid will prove he lies. What weapon do you choose, Red Cloud? Tomahawk. Cisco not fight with a tomahawk before. You have to do it now, Poncho. I do not accept his challenge. And two years ago in the war part. And that fight with Red Cloud. Cisco here, my friend. His weapon. This Chief Joseph's own tomahawk. Gracious, Chief Joseph. Stand back, my people. Cisco not do this. Cisco learn how to fight with the tomahawk. There's nothing else I can do now, Pancho. I'm ready. Red Cloud. Red Cloud ready. Cisco Kid ready to kill. Over here. And it is certain that the inexperienced hand of the Cisco Kid is no match for the mighty young warrior Red Cloud, who rushes at Cisco with his razor edge Tomahawk poised for the death blow. In just a moment, we'll return to a Cisco Kid foreign Bubba Wallace here from 2311 Racing. Funny thing about being fast. You end up waiting a lot. First to show up, first in line, then just waiting.

In our exciting story file by Tomahawk, Jack Coughlin and his henchmen scheme to have the Nez Perce Indians driven from their traditional hunting grounds by the Army. Coghan and his men raid the horse herds of the Nez Perce Indians in stolen army uniforms, knowing this will cause the Indians to go on the war path. In an effort to keep the Nez Perce from the warpath, Sisko and Poncho ride into the Indian camp. Chief Joseph is on their side. The young warrior Red Cloud challenges Sisko to a tomahawk duel to the death. Now Red Cloud rushes forward once again, trying to sink his tomahawk into Sisso's skull. Still hold on to your wrist, Red Cloud. Break away all red guys. Wrist is close. Twisty. Exactly what I'm doing. That's Tomahawk. Red Cloud. Red Cloud not give up. Good right to the jaw will help you. She's okay to make her a Tyrone. Come on now. Just go pick up Red Clouds to have a hook first. Another good right to the jaw. Now Red Cloud with your own tomahawk held over you. Say The Cisco Kid does not lie. Later Cisco make Red Cloud sail it through. Now Red clown. Cisco Kid not lying. Then get up Red Cloud. That is all I wanted to hear you say. Cisco Kid not kill Red clan. No red clan. I have no intention of killing you. Now my people you know the Cisco Kid does not speak with folk tongue. Cisco Kid. The army did not take your leopard spotted horses. They were stolen by a band of evil men. Evil men wear uniform of soldiers. Cisco Kid they stole those uniforms. They killed the soldaders with guarded uniforms. Even like they killed the braves. What got your horses? What soldiers do about evil men? General Howard is out on march now with two troops of cavalry searching for them. Which cavalry ride with General Howells? Scobell, the 3rd and 5th Cavalry. Chief Joseph. Why did she want this? Our prayers report to men who steal our producer horses. Harry flag of 8th Cavalry. The 8th Cavalry is stationed at Fort Mason, 300 miles away from here. Chief Joseph. What name of evil man who steal nest cursed horses kill braves. Henry. I'll call that bad homily Jack Coglin. Aren't you and I must go now. Chief Daughter go to turn General Howard look for horses. Hey Chief. That is where we are going. Chief Joseph. Six braves ride with his four feet and punch off. Chief go to look for the horses too. And for the evil ones who killed Indian braves. I tried not rest until they are caught. Oh, there you find out that it didn't camp plenty. Ch, I saw everything from where I was hiding. Well, what happened? That Cisco Kid did talk the engines out of hitting the warpath. Cisco had a fight with one of the braves and he beat him afterwards. Him Indians listened to what he had to say. What does this go tell the Indians? That the general knows we're the ones who stole the uniforms and the horses. And that he's out looking for us now with two troops of cavalry. Cisco's trying to wreck all my plans. Him and some of them Indians are on their way to join General Howard's forces now. I saw him leave camp. How many were in the buck Hell? It was Cisco, his partner, Chief Joses and about half a dozen nest purves. Then we can stir those Indians up yet. How you going to arrange it? You show us the direction Cisco in that party took. We're going to wipe them out. Yeah, finding their chief dead ought to make them plenty mad. At the same time you'll be getting rid of the Cisco Kid. We leave that 8 Cavalry flag so the Indians will be sure to know who to blame. Saddle up Men, we're rid Chief Joseph see dust come many horses. Maybe General Howard and the troops we look for. Does look like them. Pancho. Soon as the wind changes, I'll be able to see their guard on the wind changes his go find his new flag. What is there now? Santos Group G, 8th Cavalry. That is not General Howard. Identify the we look for that evil man who steal this purse's office. That must be Jack Coughlin. And he has many hombres with him. What we do? They've seen us. Perhaps we can outrun them. Pardon me, Cisco. It's too late. Those barbudos surround us. Get behind these rocks. They will give us protection. Try the hostisko. We can try. I know, Chief. You, Pancho and the braves stay behind those rocks. Let Cisco do. I will try to get through to General Howard and his troops. It's the only chance to save us. Stay behind rocks too. Yeah. Bad hombre is too close assist to get away. I think the Obo can outrun them. I would have to try. This is where I leave you. Save your ammunition. Make every shot count. Will have to catch me. Santos. Oh, somebody's getting close. Keep Joseph. Save words like Cisco. Fire only as they get close. But Punch and I can never hit anything. Anything happens to Cisco, we will soon be out of ammunition. Then we will be helpless. Yeah, but now do you worry about Cisco? Cisco never fails. Yet Cisco get through to the cavalry. She saw a great man, but he fights against great Ark. Time to do the last bullet. How is he gone? We have to try to run for it. No, no. No matter what is wait here at Cisco say. All of us will be killed if they're closing ends. Yeah, but daddy, we'd be killed here fighting. We'd be killed running away. I was lucky to find you so quickly, General Howard. We were trailing Coblin and his gang. Cisco. We knew they were in the vicinity. You were lucky to escape from them. I hope we are not too late. How much ammunition did Fangio and the Indians have? Not very much, General. That is why I am worried. Listen, Cisco. I hear gunshots. Hey. And we are not too late. Look. There's the 8th Cavalry guidon that was stolen. And those renegades are still in army uniforms. Fire Gun. Blow pistol forward top. Make turn and run. General. Surround the enemy and capture them. Ride after them.
