i promise give me your hand boys [Music] come to reporter killing andy logan has been shot down in cold blood as a matter of accuracy he was killed in self-defense sheriff hawkins has all the facts that's right ben senior logo has already made a complete report on behalf of his men well did he report that it was his manner committed to murder there's a difference ben logan was given a notice of eviction so he had no legal right to be on that land and a couple of witnesses saw him attack senior luka's man all he was doing was defending what was his there's no evidence of that well there's mrs logan's word do you think that'll stand up in court adam stand up in court they talk of lawlessness of the west well this is lawlessness backed up by law they're evicting families throwing them out of their homes killing men and you protect them now keep your shirt on ben i don't like this any better than you do but this is not really your fights in your cart right why do you insist on defeating interfering of course it's our fight you're trying to take part of our land too technically speaking yes but although the de la questa land grant takes in a few hundred acres upon the rosa property it is such a well such a small section of your great rancho you will hardly miss it we happen to value every foot of our property senoluga your pardon senor it is the property of my niece perhaps she will be gracious enough to permit you to retain it if your attitude is cooperative well you know what you can tell your niece i'm respecter you are talking about isabella maria castro de la cuesta descendant of one of the oldest and noblest families in spain you are becoming quite amazed well the noble isabella de la cuesta why not why don't you knock since when do you require privacy one man meeting another in your presence it's a common thing get out my respects dear lady sanchez the darling of the bar room girls now he has you please do not give me one of your lectures i am tired of being cooped up in this hotel room but this room is much better than you're used to my dear these fine things these flowers for entertaining someone like sanchez i don't need them i am isabella de la cresta is that not right yes that is right then i refuse to remain a minute longer in this carpeted prison just a few more days everything is going beautifully don't spoil it how could i spoil it is expecting isabella de la cuesta to be a great lady whatever you are my dear well you know your weaknesses when the time comes i will be as much a lady as anyone i've spent years of my life on this project tracing the landing grant and then tracing you i won't let you destroy it now you understand why do you mean this luca can just come in and throw homesteaders off their land and there's nothing we can do about it well the spanish land grants go back hundreds of years mexico recognizes them we recognize them and the delaquesta claim has been examined and validated by the territorial land office apparently it's in perfect order i was supposed it wasn't all in perfect order well we could go to court and try to stop them the uh records of the spanish land grants are kept in monterey aren't they mm-hmm maybe worth looking into oh would you uh would you like for us to ride down there and check on it yeah yeah you and joe first thing in the morning check everything on file get a complete history of the delequester family meanwhile adam and i will file an action in judge blankness court the name of the carson valley settlers and ourselves well what uh chance you think we stand there no very little i suppose if isabella de la questa is actually the true and rightful heiress but there's still one more thing we could do what's that talk to the great lady herself after all no one's seen her talk to except senior luger what good will that do you don't think she's gonna help us well how do we know till we find out he's hoping we can prove that isabella de la cuesta is not isabella de la [Music] [Applause] cuesta all right bill where'd you put her what are you talking about adam the great lady senorita de la cuesta what if she calls herself what room [ __ ] i can't tell you that adam i've got orders you also got friends room 33 thanks [Music] [Music] [Music] do [Music] do [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] hmm very very very nice rosita how about a drink you must be mistaken the name is not rosita no what is it then go away from me look rosita you wouldn't happen to be that woman that everybody in town was talking about would you the one that's claiming all that land let go of me come on just a couple of hundred nobody has to know the name is rosita you are wasting your time the name is isabella de la cruz i don't get off that easy all right let it go well now you just get out of here mister this is none of your business well now i'm making it my business will you make tracks now you can leave now [Music] exciting place no he'll get over it i appreciate your fighting for me it was not your fight but you are my fight scenery de la questa oh why who are you my name's cartwright adam cartwright oh yes i've heard my uncle talk about you it seems you are giving him some trouble oh i hope to uh give him a lot of trouble then why did you help me gentlemen always helps a lady at least you consider me a lady and a very beautiful one well in that case perhaps you would walk me back to my hotel it'll be a pleasure [Music] i believe the ladies in room 33 i have the key come in [Music] your lady is full of surprises well at least i know she's not with you huh see but she's not alone the one they call adam cartwright he's with her what you want me to uh no no no what would we gain well she could be telling him certain things is that what worries you sanchez or are you maybe a little jealous huh san antonio i work for you but if you make fun of me i'll kill you oh kill for her don't be a fool now just keep an eye on her and let me know when this young carthride leaves then i'll have a talk with our little lady i'm glad that you like the wine of my native country let me refresh your glass oh i like your wine very much uh senorito de la cuesta now begins the inquisition call it that if you like no i don't like i think it's a very ugly word ugly then what do you call throwing people off their land is it their land or mine it's theirs by the work and sweat they put into it and do you hold your land by sweat or by a deed of trust buy both tell me senorita when did you first discover you were the heiress to the delaquesta grant when my uncle done anton you found me and told me and where did he find you i only asked because i found you in a cantina and believe me no spanish lady ever behaved the way you did you were of service to me in the cantina mr cartwright but that does not give you the right to pry into my private affairs you know we could be friends could we no when a man kisses me he has to have his mind on love not on business adios us to luego senorita [Music] at least you have learned to knock of course you've uh had a visitor that is my business young carthride where did you meet him that is also my business it's mine also the carthrights are our main opposition they will do everything they can to stop us supposing we had the cartwrights on our side impossible supposing we had one of the cartwrights on our side [Music] isabella you've learnt to handle mental perfection thank you but then of course i didn't have much choice [Music] adam well bread spanish ladies don't usually spend their time in a saloon i know i thought the same thing myself i uh went back to the hotel with her had a glass of wine oh good good good did you find out anything no one thing she's uh quite a beautiful woman well we knew that what else she's very sensitive about her past won't talk about it at all adam you may be heading in the right direction maybe so but uh i don't know how happy i am about it why not it was your idea i guess it was but uh she's not exactly the kind of woman i thought she'd be adam this is the woman who's trying to grab all that land is she or is it senoluga and what's the difference they're both in it together why are you defending her look i'm not defending all right i'd just like to know more about her anything wrong senorita i'm tired i've had enough of riding i don't like it why i thought all spanish ladies knew how to ride well i am out of practice please let us rest a while [Applause] why did you bring me out today just to find out if i could ride well there's um there's something about you isabella is there what is it well it isn't nobility i'll tell you that then what is it it's [Music] adam why do we have to be on different sides [Music] maybe we don't come on there's something i want to show you but i'm very happy here it's very important so what is this place that's part of your holdings i think you ought to get to know it is this the time why not you not only have land you have buildings too see man and woman used to live here i understand a child was on the way so they will live somewhere else the woman and the child maybe the man's dead as a matter of fact he died exactly where you're standing now he was murdered by sanchez he never told me he won't be the last to die either they're trying to evict settlers all over the valley there'll be lots of fighting lots of widows then let them not fight only you can stop it oh no adam you cannot blame that on me i do not want people to get hurt and i do not want them to get killed but i have to think of myself too they cannot have what is mine well you know you'll never enjoy this land there'll be too much blood on it [Music] the southern section is all clear of settlers good good now you can start on the north section hey so are you her name is smith hi cardsmith hey i'm an old friend of rositas show the gentleman in sanchez come in now what is this about uh rosita i used to know rosita in san francisco i i figured you wouldn't want the news to get around because we have nothing to hide well that might not go so well in courts in york after all people are liable to get all mixed up between uh rosita morales and uh isabella de la cuesta i see i see you want to avoid the confusion that's a very good way of putting it clarity is a law that will aim you're a very generous man very generous indeed sir you know i want to tell you something just as long as you keep scratching my back i'll keep scratching yours thank you senor gracias yes i know i know unless something happens you at first man [Music] you expecting trouble mr cartwright no not really helping what are you doing bob i'm getting ready just in case well i thought we uh decided there wouldn't be any fighting one of the settlers decide to fight against their evictions i'm not gonna stand by and watch him get shot at did you talk to him i talked to him but i don't think they'll stand for much more pushing around and neither will i well now there's just a chance that there may not have to be any pushing around why well i went riding with our uh senorita de la cuesta this afternoon huh what happened i took her out to the logan place did she like it i told her what senior lucas men had done i think she was honestly upset about what happened out there that's nice adam it's real nice was she upset enough to call off her hired killers well if there's the great lady's knight in shining armor not what do you want here just a few words friend the name is smith hi card smith he must be the main cart right huh you have something to say say it hospitality western hospitality friend you know as a matter of fact everybody in virginia city has been very inhospitable towards me especially at the poke tables what are you selling the history of isabella de la cuesta that's the card right well her name is rosita morales she used to be a bar room girl and a dancer on a cheap waterfront dive in san francisco and just how do you know that son i was there i'll bet you were just a moment just a minute adam that's what we wanted to find out isn't it you know her family was family a common shero pedro morales he runs a little store in a dirty little spot a few miles south of here called los altos i want you to stay in virginia city till that trial comes up you know i can't do that make it worth your while all right friend but don't you try to find me i'll find you i'll find you often wow now we know who our great lady is well i'm going to get some fresh clothes and then you and i are riding into virginia city we're going to see luga we're going to tell them exactly what we know we'll put an end to this thing right now [Music] i think we better keep our little appointment with senor lugo [Music] i was just writing i need a glass of wine for refreshments try the saloon you wouldn't deny your friend a glass of wine get out of here no what's on your lips is sweetheart let go of me perhaps you for her young cartwright huh no way still good huh no no go away you're surprised in your car's writing to see your great lady in a lover's quarrel with one of her servants huh may we have a moment with you senorita yes he forced his way in here you do believe that don't you had i think it's about time this masquerade came to an end we know who you are you rosita morales maybe i am but i am also isabella de la cuesta your father's pedro morales my father is not pedro morales he brought me from some indians after my family was massacred i was too little to be killed but soon i became big enough to chase around the shack so i ran away to san francisco now miss morales how can you possibly expect us to believe that kind of story because it is the truth and if you want to believe anything else you will have to prove it and while we're proving it more killing more bloodshed is that what you want i don't know anything about that you can put an end to it withdraw your claim to that land it's the only possible decent thing for you to do the decent thing to do rosita morales is not decent does she will not be decent either but she will be rich and how many lives is that worth to you oh that's enough what do you want me to do help her feel sorry for her what i don't know papa this is getting us nowhere laughs adam i think it's up to you to find morales and if you can disprove that story birds bring them back here and if not well then do whatever you think best but whatever it is do it quickly all right well i don't want to miss anything so don't start shooting till i get back how much do they know about you probably go after morales i'll take care of it no no one can fool my alice so he can't help us i'll be the judge of that don't antonio i don't want any more killing please no more killing yes no more killing why are you crying those carthrides have an unfortunate effect upon people one moment amigo don't turn around you're not going anyplace this will get you nowhere sanchez no it will get me your life my life who sent you luger no not luga isabella de la cuesta you're lying why you think she cares about you i don't think she'd send you here to kill me you presume too much senor do i uh [Music] get him out of there i was dead jack i'm in a hurry tell the sheriff i'll explain this to him later will you [Music] [Applause] [Music] so hey come on wake up wake up come on wake up wake up why who are you what do you want now listen i'm looking for a girl named rosita what do you know about her rosita she remember morales she remembers a year ago a man come and ask about her but he gave me a bottle of whiskey would you tell him senor you you give me money for whiskey i i tell you more what can you tell me that i don't already know five years back a woman come very old from mission san jose she says she looking for little girl who's the old woman whiskey senor come on washington who was she looking for whiskey senor all right who was she and who was she looking for her name was dona teresa esperanza she was looking for a girl named isabella maria de la cuesta [Music] is [Music] [Applause] [Music] might have known i'd find you here again i was just sitting here thinking you mean getting drunk wash your tongue senior i don't want to be hated everyone loves the rich this is good enough for you isn't it and not you how are you falling in love with this young cat right and if i have what business is that of yours must i remind you what we have at stake sanchez is dead and how did he die killing again i told you i didn't want any more bloodshed suppose they bring old morales back and the cartridge bribe him he will force a hearing immediately and anything could happen but if i am isabella what are you afraid of justice is nebulous everyone is behind the cathedrals they love them in this town is it so bad to be loved when we are rich they will love us too thank you uh howdy judge oh hi man come on in for some refreshment i can't ben i'm just rushing back from carson valley uh-huh but i did want to speak to you for a second it's about that hearing ben i'm i'm afraid i i can't delay it any longer well judge blank now tell me when do you expect the boys back from monterey well they should be back real soon now it's a long ride over the sierra yeah i know what about adam when do you expect him back then well it should be any day now maybe tomorrow now i'm counting on you holding up that hearing till he gets back judged ben i can't i can't hold off any longer for the good of the people in the community this thing has to be settled one way or another ben i've got to call that hearing for two o'clock tomorrow afternoon i'll see you then come on boy what paul hello boys i'm glad you got back in time how much good does it take going why didn't you get the information i sent you for no we got it paul but that's just the point what it's just as they called it that de la questa land grants as solid as a rock the family was given possession all that land and what was that word little joe perpetuity yeah and yeah but the spanish king himself that senor de la cuesta must have been quite a fowler i'll have to wait for adam what good he gonna do he's our only chance now it is now two o'clock and time for these proceedings to begin your honor i would like to make a request what is it ben i've been waiting for my son adam something has delayed him well i don't see why that should hold up these proceedings your honor i think the issue is quite clear this is obviously a transparent attempt to delay and obstruct justice oh surely your honor a few more days could be spared in a matter of such importance to so many people a few more days your honor we've been forced to delay too long already your honor i am not opposed to the delay if it will help things i think i know what is best for us my dear but if adam has some information bearing on the case why should we be afraid to hear it no evidence can be falsified witnesses have been known to lie or to tell the truth senor lugar this case affects the lives of so many people that i think nothing should be overlooked therefore i hereby adjourn these proceedings until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning it was a very foolish thing you did my dear at this point all i want is the truth don't be so noble isabella that saloon on the waterfront it's still [Applause] there [Music] now they're here well adam hello paw how's everything all right outside of a little shooting somebody tried to stop us outside of town oh the uh uh that's why you couldn't get here yesterday nope i had another reason may i present donna teresa esperanza theresa this is my father ben cartwright i am honored senora thank you i'm sorry you had to take such a long journey if at last i find my grand knees no journey will have been too long or too difficult well uh maybe i think you will be comfortable here adam who is she she's the grandparent and last living relative of senorita de la cuesta what about senior luga well he's not a uncle that's for sure daniel teresa senor luga i did not expect to see you i'm sure of that otherwise you would not be here your honor this is the witness for whom we've been waiting this is donna teresa esperanza senora a great aunt of isabella de la cuesta the only link to her past and this whole person able to identify her identify her donation is an old woman she hasn't seen isabella for many years in fact since a little child how could she possibly give a valid identification who is this adventurer to decide on my qualifications not so long ago he dared to visit me and seek to enlist my aid in his evil and corrupt skin what scheme do you refer to senora his plan for me to vouch for the identity of my grandparents the last of the de la crestas would you be able to identify the girl if you saw her without question very well your honor i protest this entire proceeding senor luga you are out of order if you please send your return senora this is the girl to be identified would you tell us if you know her turn around young lady raise your head please the carriage the tilt of the head the dark ice your honor if i might see this young lady alone i shall be able to tell you whether she is indeed my grandniece that is necessary it is obvious from daniel teresa's reaction that this is her grandniece your honor i would like to talk to this lady in private as she suggests sheriff will you clear the room please all right gentlemen now step outside there some way you can identify me some way i mean anything definite i have lived so much of my life with uncertainties what is it you seek out of life is it riches or power do you want to be a great lady is that such a very bad thing to want no nothing at all but let me tell you about the de la questas the outstanding characteristic of the de la vistas was generosity generosity i'm an old lady and perhaps sentimental but i know in my heart that the de la cresta would have not taken the land from the people who bought it with their blood and sweat you seem to know a great deal about the situation there must have been a very interesting ride you had with adam cartwright most interesting i know who i am now thank you teresa thank you your honor there is no need to go on any longer i am rosita morales she she's lying what did you do to her you are isabella de la cresta tell him the truth senior logo you'll have your share of truth telling come with me you fool you could have had it all you could have been the richest woman in this country where are you going i'm going back where i belong to san francisco [Music] this must have been a difficult thing for you to do to expose an impostor an imposter what makes you think she's an imposter [Music] who knows [Music] you
