In Old Arizona

Synopsis: Army Sergeant Mickey Dunn sets out in pursuit of the Cisco Kid, a notorious if kind-hearted and charismatic bandit of the Old West. 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.

Keep the mouths closed.

Boys, I was held up down there at

the Devil's Pincushion by that Cisco Kid.

And I sure would have

- You sure would have.

- Where's the colonel at?

- He's inside. Go and see him, Charlie.

Hmm.

[ Muttering ]

Say, there's got to be something done

here about this Cisco Kid.

He held up my stagecoach down here

and took my Wells Fargo box.

He didn't harm nor rob

any of my passengers...

but he like to scared

all of them to death.

Hmm.

Where'd you see him?

I met him down here on the desert,

what they call the Devil's Pincushion.

- Oh, orderly.

- Yes, sir?

- Tell Sergeant Dunn to report to me at once.

- Yes, sir.

If my gun hadn't have hung on me,

I'd, uh, I'd have shot him myself.

Yes, I know, Charlie. I know just how

you feel about things like that.

- Am I faded?

- Sure.

Come on, sweetheart.
