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.

He will kill you on sight.

You must not let him find you here.

He is a beast.

I wish he were dead.

You must kill him. He tell me

he would never be captured alive.

He is desperate.

Oh, I wish he were dead.

Will I get

this reward money soon?

[ Dunn ]

Ha-ha. Sure you will.

just as soon

as they identify him.

I will send you a note

by the old woman.

When he returns.

Maybe- Maybe tonight.

About 10:
00.

My lover!

So long, my muchacha.

10:
00.

Yaqui, my friend.

You remember I told you...

I was great lady's man.

[ Scoffs ]

That does not go now.

I am not as good

as I think I am.

[ Chuckles ]

And maybe I never was.

Coney Island! Brooklyn!

- The Bowery! $5,000!

- [ Cisco ] I send my girl to the city

- And I send my girl to the town

- Dios mo.!

And my girl, she's young

And she's pretty

And she's ready

to settle down

- Well, mi vida.

- Ahh! My lover!

I was afraid something

might have happened to you.

I was afraid

you might not come back.

I would not disappoint you.

[ Chuckles ]

I know how anxious you have been

for me to come back.

Tonia.

Tell me. Have there been

anybody here looking for me...

today?

Why, no, no.

- No?

- No!

Tonia Maria, this law

is closing in around me.

Tonight, I am sure that this-this life

I live- it does not pay, but-

but like the man who is caught

in the- in the whirl-

whirlpool, I cannot get out.

That is what a thief comes to know.

He cannot rub out his past.

Ah, he may be able to get away

from these people...

who hunt for him...

but he can never

get away from himself.

I go on, Tonia, till the chapter here

is finished, but...

[ Scoffs ]

I know in the end I will pay.

Tonia...

we will go far away

tonight together, huh?

To Portugal!

Ah, Tonia, I try.

I try to start all over again,

just for you.

Ah, that will be grand!

But... I cannot

get ready tonight.

Tomorrow.

- Tomorrow?

- Yes, maana.

Mm.

Well, you get ready

for long, long journey.

Get me wine.

Get me vino.

- I get you wine and fruit, eh?

- Yes.

I put my horse in corral.

Elenita? Elenita!

- Where you been?

- At the market.

- In the wagon?

- Sure, in the wagon.

Listen.

Take this note to soldier.

Ride in the wagon to his camp.

Do you know where it is?

Hurry, quickly.

It's very important.

Don't make talk. I explain to you

when you get back.

Here. Quick.

Hurry! Hurry!

The old cat.

Say, listen.

Why don't you fellas change

the bill of fare once in a while?

Beans, beans, beans.

Geez. General Grant said,

"Let us have peas. "

What a memory

that boy has got.

Eggs! Why don't you

get some eggs?

Say, do you know that

eggs cost 15 cents a dozen?

- Do you have to buy 'em?

- Well, what do you want me to do? Lay 'em?

[ Laughs ]

You can't do that.

For soldier.

S, Conejito.

Men all love Tonia Maria.

You can get any man you want.

[ Orchestra:
Dance ]

- [ Stops ]

- I did not tell you, I was to Yuma.

You got something for me?

[ Chuckles ]

The surprise of your life.

Look.

A mantilla!

- From Seville.

- Oh, it is lovely.

Nah.

It is you who...

are lovely.

To you, my faithful...

loyal, constant sweetheart.

To your eyes,

with their warm devotion.

And to your lips,

with their warm kisses.

And to the heart of you and all

the other girls in the world who-

[ Chuckling ]

who are true...

I drink.

To you, my brave caballero.

The bravest of the brave.

- My lover.

- [ Spits, Coughs ]

[ Chuckles ]

I'm sorry, Tonia.

The wine was so strong,

it-it make me cough.

[ Laughs ]

It don't make me cough.

ndele, ndele.!

- The old woman.

- Listen, you better be careful, Sarge.

- You know, you're liable to get in some trouble.

- Listen, you fellas, keep quiet.

No funny business, now.

You understand?

I didn't say anything.

What's the matter with the guy?

- Who is the old woman?

- Aw, she lives with the gal.

Well, he better look out

for them foreigners.

- They do things different.

- [ Laughs ]

Seor.

Gracias, seora.

I guess I know who it's from.

Anda, caballo.

"He is here, but he is

going away tonight.

"He is frightened. He thinks the posse

knows his hiding place.

"When he goes, he will be

disguised as a girl.

"He will wear my clothes,

and on his head...

"a large, white mantilla.

I will wear his clothes,

and ride away. "

"Come at 10:
00 tonight.

"Do not fail.

Shoot quick and straight.

A hundred kisses, Tonia Maria. "

Hey, here's something else.

"Remember, he will wear

a large, white mantilla.

You will be able to see it

from a distance. "

You get the idea, boys?

The bandit's gonna try to escape tonight

in a girl's clothes.

Well, this is empty.

- You have more, eh?

- No, no. No.

I have had... enough.

The job's finished, boys.

I get my man tonight.

Get him alone.

You better let us

go with ya, Sarge.

No, sir.

I've got a particular reason for wanting

to turn this trick all by myself.

So long, boys.

The old sarge has got a new gal...

and she's a pippin.

- [ Clicks Tongue ]

- Hey, we ought to go along with him anyway.

Nah, nah. Didn't I tell ya

he was the best shot in the army?

Oh, well-

I think it is getting

dangerous for me to stay here.

- I better go. I send for you. Adis.

- No, no!

You must not go.

You must not.

I will not let you.

I will not let you.

You must stay here tonight.

I am afraid to be here alone.

Tomorrow, you can go.

But I will not

let you go tonight.

Hmm.

Such anxiety is touching.

[ Chuckles ]

You are so beautiful...

I could not refuse you...

anything. [ Chuckles ]

Ay!

We should have gone...

to Portugal tonight.

I better look around outside

to make sure there is no danger.

I-

[ Hoofbeats ]

Somebody is out there.

[ Gasps ]

Adis, my beautiful angel.

That is what you are.

And what you will be...

an angel.

When I ride away...

you stand outside

where I can see you...

and wave good-bye to me.

Then I know you love me.

If it is to be the end,

I want to know that...

you are thinking only of me.

My beautiful angel.

Adis.

- Adis.

- Don't forget...

to wave to me when I ride away.

Adi-

[ Tonia Screaming ]

Her flirtin' days are over.

And she's ready

to settle down.

[ Orchestra ]

[ Ends ]
