The Kid spends much of his loot on Tonia, the woman he loves, not realizing that she is being unfaithful to him in his absence. Soon, with her oblivious paramour off plying his trade, Tonia falls in with Dunn, drawn by the allure of a substantial reward for the Kid's capture -- dead or alive. Together, they concoct a plan to ambush and do away with the Cisco Kid once and for all.

- Yes, sir.

- Yes, sir.

Say, what did I say?

I don't see why-

- You're the big a-boss, huh?

- That's right, kiddo.

This little frontier town

of ours...

will soon be a thriving, prosperous city

of the great Southwest.

The railroad is

coming in down here...

and it's up to us

to suppress the bandit...

the outlaw

and the desperado.

[ All Chattering ]

If the sheriff can't do it

and the army won't do it...

then it's up to us

to drive him out of here.

[ Speaking Chinese ]

There, boys.

There's the proper spirit right there.

[ Speaking Chinese ]

Ah. Well, now

I feel very good.

- How you feel, Sergeant?

- All right.

Oh, excuse me.

I forgot to introduce myself.

My name is Conrado Sebastin

Rodrigo Don Juan Chicuello.

[ Chuckles ] Ah, but the girls,

they call me Conejito.

That mean little rabbit.

Oh. Little Rabbit, huh?

Are you that fast?

- [ Chuckles ]

- No, no.

Well, my name is Mickey Dunn...

and the girls call me Big Casino.

- Mitt me.

- Oh, thank you.

- What do I owe you, Garibaldi?

- Oh, no, never mind.

- No, this my treat.

- Oh, fine.

Sure. I bet.

Now, my friend,

I give you all the dollar.

- That make up all the money you lose.

- Grazie, Signor. Grazie.

Poor fellow.

Somebody steal his money.

Hmm. I got no use

for that kind of thief.

You're right.

I'd like to get

my hands on him.

- Adis, my friend.

- Good-a-bye.

- Is that your horse?

- Uh, that is my horse.

Uh, he's a fine-looking animal.

Ah, this fellow Yaqui,

he's the best friend I ever got.

Yeah?

What you say, my friend?

I meet you down to the saloon

at, uh, oh, at 3:00, huh?

- 3:
00? Right.

- Yeah.

What are you going to do in the meanwhile,

call on the seoritas?

[ Chuckles ]

No, no. Only one for me.

Oh, I like lots of seoritas...

but... I love only one.

Same with me.

One at a time.

That's only fair to the sex.

Know what I mean?

Adis, my friend.

So long... Little Rabbit.

[ Both Chuckling ]

Well, I'll be blowed.

[ Chuckling ]

Little Rabbit.

Come on, my friend.

[ Dunn ] Well, if it ain't

the old village blacksmith himself.

- Hello, Sergeant.

- [ Donkey Braying ]

Hello, there, Little Rab-

Well, Pop, did you give the old boy

a new pair of patent leather shoes?

Yeah, all around. She's ready and

waiting for you. Cost you 80 cents.

- Good.

- Good morning, Mr. Higgins.

Good morning, Matilda.

Good morning, Matilda.

Say, you know any people

around these parts?

I reckon I know

almost everyone.

You know a fella

they call the Cisco Kid?

[ Laughing ]

Say, that was him you just

shook hands with over there.

What?

I just- I just

shook hands with him?

Sure. That was the Cisco Kid himself.

[ Laughing ]

[ Laughing Continues ]

- Well, I'll be-

- [ Donkey Braying ]

[ Braying Continues ]

Shut up, ya jackass.

[ Tango ]

[ Speaking Spanish ]

Tonia! Tonia!

[ Speaking Spanish ]

Well, what you want, eh?

El Conejito is coming.

He's here at the corral right now.

[ Speaking Spanish ]

- Hold him there. Keep him there. Hurry! Hurry!

- [ Speaking Spanish ]

Come out. Come out!

- What's the matter?

- Go! Get out quick!

- Why?

- Don't make talk.

My lover he come

and he kill you. Quick!

Oh.

[ Speaking Spanish ]

What kind of greeting

is this?

You stand there as though

I was the devil himself.

S. S. Welcome home,

my very good friend.

Gracias.

Where is Tonia Maria?

I tell her. She come.

Now I must go feed my horse.

Uh, who will feed me?

I'm hungry.

Uh, you cannot move?

- No. But someday he will catch you.

Then what?

You will have a flower in your hand,

but you will not smell it.

- Then all your troubles will be over.

- So will yours.

Yeah?

Conejito.!

Conejito.!

[ Speaking Spanish ]

- Hey, my Tonia.

- Ah, my Conejito.

Ah, you always

come to meet me.

What's the matter?

What you been doing, huh?

Never mind that. Where you got that

from the barber.

So you will smell nice

for other girls, eh?

Ah, no, no.

I care about nobody but you.

- How I can be sure?

- I swear.

I swear it is only you.

Ah, Tonia Maria, I would not

so much as look at these other women.

- You swear?

Look. By the name

of my mother.

I love you like

nothing else in this world.

Every time I go away...

I come back and find you

more beautiful...

Ah, the touch of your hand

is like the touch of an angel.

And your kiss, ah, your kiss-

[ Cisco Kid ] Dios mo,

I have been in the hills so long alone

I get to talking to myself.

[ Tonia Maria ]

You got something for me?

"You got something for me?"

"You got something for me?"

Oh. [ Chuckles ]

Come down here. I show you.

Did I ever come back

unless I bring you something?

- Look.

No. It is you who are lovely.

By golly, I'm dry.

You got something for drink?

and ham and eggs.

Well, nobody, he can cook

Oh. No matter how old they get,

they never lose hope.

Who you say is pretty?

You, mi favorita.

Only you.

Here is your vino.

To you, my flower of love.

[ Sighs ]

That hits the spot.

Makes you, uh, warm, eh?

I don't need anything

to make me warm.

Come here.

I could squeeze you to pieces.

I'm crazy for you.

Why not?

I am lovely.

Lovely. All the day and the night

when I ride over the desert sand...

you are always in my mind.

In the winds,

your rippling laughter.

And in the night...

your sad, sweet smile

among the stars.

I count the hours till I can come back

and hold you in my arms again.

These words too damn beautiful

for that old woman to hear.

[ Chuckles ]

S, s.

there are in this neighborhood.
