00:00Why don't you watch where you're going?
00:22A thousand pounds, senorita.
00:27Hey, kid! Kid Carson!
00:37El Toro. What are you doing in San Diego?
00:40Oh, I'm here to send the christening.
00:42Into my family has been born another member.
00:45Congratulations. A niece or a nephew?
00:47A nephew. And what a boy.
00:49What business brings you here, amigo?
00:52I'm on my way back from Taos with routine dispatches.
00:54Oh, you must have had a long, hard ride through the desert.
00:57Yes, I plan to lay off for a day and give him a rest.
01:00Not to mention yourself.
01:02Would you care to join him for lunch?
01:04The food is very good at the hotel.
01:06Is that the only attraction?
01:08She's blonde. She's got good ankles, but a bad temper.
01:24Fred, would you hold these packages for me, please?
01:54Sorry to have kept you waiting, Stanley,
02:07but I thought that artist never would let me go.
02:09Every time I yawned, he asked me to please hold the pose.
02:12For whom were you posing, Pearl?
02:14Gracia Navarro.
02:15That sand painter? He's no artist.
02:17But I've seen the painting.
02:19There is an artist in the studio, but it is not Gracia Navarro.
02:23And Pearl, I advise you to collect your money in advance.
02:26You don't know it, but Navarro holds the winning ticket for the Mexican national lottery.
02:32I'm sure Pearl will excuse me.
02:34No doubt you and Stanley have much to talk about,
02:36not having seen each other since last night.
02:42I despise that man.
02:45I suppose the feeling is mutual.
02:47Tell me, what sort of a picture is Gracia doing with you?
02:50A portrait?
02:51No, a poster for the Mexican national lottery
02:54to show his appreciation for winning the grand prize.
03:03Gracia.
03:22Manuelito.
03:29You know what I want.
03:30Give me the ticket.
03:52You've had enough time to make up your mind.
03:54What are you going to do about us?
03:56I'm sorry, Pearl.
03:58It's very generous of you to think so much of me.
04:00With all my debts and the lien on the ranch,
04:02I just can't afford to marry any woman.
04:05Unless, of course, she happens to have a barrel of money.
04:07That seems to leave me out of the picture, doesn't it?
04:10It puts no other woman into it, preferably.
04:12Is that remark supposed to ease my broken heart?
04:19Thank you for your courtesy.
04:20Your manners always were perfect.
04:28So that is how things are between Natela and Jose Stanley.
04:32But he does not know quite how to handle women.
04:35And why not?
04:36Well, he said there was no other woman, yet he needs money.
04:39And the whole world is full of rich widows.
04:51Father Kerrigan.
04:53Kid Carson, edit yourself now.
04:55In person.
04:56And El Toro.
04:57Oh, the sight of you is good for these eyes.
04:59And bad for my fingers.
05:01Oh, it is sorry I am.
05:02A little in a month, a few days, and it'll all be forgotten.
05:04And now, my friends, I do you the honor to present my protégé,
05:08the most gifted young artist in all California, Manuel Navarro.
05:12It is I who am honored, Senor Carson.
05:14A pleasure, Senor El Toro.
05:16Mark my words.
05:17One of these days, Manuel's paintings will hang in the finest galleries and churches of the world.
05:21The boy is the inheritor of a great genius.
05:24I take it your father is also an artist?
05:26No, and a pity it is.
05:27His father is only a poor sign painter.
05:29No longer poor.
05:31My father just received word that he holds the winning ticket in the Mexican National.
05:35The saints preserve us.
05:38100,000 pesos.
05:4050,000 American dollars.
05:42Caramba, a king's ransom.
05:44It is an answer to our prayer.
05:46My son, that ticket is your ticket to Mexico City.
05:50There, you'll study under Serrano and under de la Tour.
05:53There, all your father's ambitions for you will finally be realized.
05:57There, you'll learn how to create great masterpieces.
06:01Kit, I have a certain idea.
06:03Would you be bound to Monterey?
06:05Yes, with dispatches for the governor.
06:07Good.
06:08I want you to take an example of this boy's work to his excellency with my compliments.
06:12Young as he is, Manuel Navarro is already qualified for distinguished patronage.
06:17It would be a great pleasure.
06:18Come, I'll show you the way.
06:42Gracias.
06:43Father!
06:59The pulse is still beating.
07:00I think he has a chance.
07:13Shall I bring water or wine?
07:15Never give anything to an unconscious man.
07:17Wait until he can swallow.
07:18Who could have done this?
07:20Who has a grudge against your father?
07:22He was a friend of everyone.
07:24The motive is obvious.
07:25Here is his wallet, and the lottery ticket is gone.
07:27Maybe we can stop payment on the lottery ticket.
07:29I'll notify the authorities.
07:31Take care of him, Toro.
07:32Can you get me a doctor, please?
07:33That I will.
07:41That I will.
07:47This is a part of growing up, Manuel.
07:50The time comes when we do for our parents what they used to do for us.
07:54We keep them quiet until the doctor comes.
07:58This way, doctor.
08:03Father Kerrigan, I have some ideas.
08:05You did?
08:06Relating to the solution of this crime.
08:08I must go to work more with my amigo, Kit.
08:10Do you mind to remain in charge?
08:12Not at all, not at all.
08:13Thank you, Father.
08:15And take good care of our little Manuel.
08:18He is a very remarkable boy.
08:28How are you?
08:29Not good.
08:30The Mexican consulate can't stop payment on the stolen ticket.
08:33Why not?
08:34Because every Mexican bank has been ordered to honor the winning ticket.
08:37So again, the job is up to us.
08:39It looks that way.
08:40We'll start off with those three at the hotel that were sitting right behind us.
08:43Agreed.
08:44But I do not believe that the señorita would almost kill a man to get it.
08:48Oh, no?
08:49No, no.
08:50It must have been one of the men that was with her.
08:52And who do you suspect?
08:54Well, the one that said he needed money to pay the debt.
08:57The man she called Stanley?
08:59Si, Stanley.
09:00We go to the hotel and check, and then we get a lead on him.
09:02Mira, he's making the getaway already.
09:32Let's go.
10:02Let's go.
10:33What is this, a holdup?
10:36No, a checkup.
10:37Let's see your wallet.
10:43Not a sign of it.
10:44A sign of what?
10:45That clever man would carry it somewhere else.
10:47You're right.
10:48Let's see your hat.
10:53You're smarter than I thought.
10:55Get off your horse.
10:56What for?
10:57Out of respect for the bullets that señor Carson and I could put into you.
11:01Señor Carson?
11:02Your kid, Carson?
11:03That's right.
11:04I'm Stanley Morgan.
11:05I own the MB Ranch just south of here.
11:07I saw you at lunch today, but of course I didn't recognize you.
11:10What's all this about?
11:11Robbery and attempted murder.
11:13Navarro is under a doctor's care, and the winning lottery ticket has been stolen.
11:16You were one of the three people who knew about it.
11:18So naturally, I'm suspected.
11:20But I can't prove an alibi for every moment of my time in town.
11:23By the gal you had lunch with?
11:25By competent witnesses.
11:26If you doubt my word, come out to the house.
11:28Certainly thoroughly, if you please.
11:30Thanks.
11:31Maybe you can save us some time by telling us the name of the other man you had lunch with.
11:35His name is Bernardino.
11:36He runs the art shop near the hotel.
11:38We'll check on him.
11:40Toro.
11:58Apparently, Senor Bernardino is not here at the moment.
12:11Quite apparently.
12:12I'll find out where he lives.
12:17You stay here in the store.
12:18In case he should come back.
12:29Senorita, how did you come in here?
12:31What do you want?
12:35He's out, and he won't be back for quite a while.
12:37Well, still, I must wait for him.
12:39Meantime, I have the company of a lovely senorita, no?
12:42Sorry, I have other things to do.
12:44Business or pleasure?
12:45Look, my friend, I'm a very busy woman.
12:47Oh, but surely not too busy to spend a few moments with me while I wait for Bernardino.
12:52You don't want to see him.
12:53You've been following me.
12:54If I had this day to live over again, I would follow you.
12:57Why?
12:58Well, let's say that you've captivated her, Toro.
13:01But we'll get around to that later.
13:03Right now, I'm investigating a stolen ticket on the lottery.
13:06What's that to me?
13:07Well, you can help, senorita.
13:09I don't know anything about it.
13:11But you must.
13:12I heard you telling your friends at the restaurant how Gracian Navarro won the grand prize.
13:17Why shouldn't I?
13:18It's all over town.
13:19Now, if you'll kindly let me pass.
13:20Look, senorita, I need your help.
13:21Get away from me.
13:22Por qué?
13:23Maybe you have something that does not belong to you.
13:24A ticket, eh?
13:25Let me alone.
13:26Senorita, hand it over, please.
13:27Don't touch me.
13:28Que pasa?
13:29What's going on?
13:30This man, he's attacking me.
13:31What?
13:33Hey.
13:34Hey.
13:35Hey.
13:36Hey.
13:37Hey.
13:38Hey.
13:39Hey.
13:40Hey.
13:41Hey.
13:42Hey.
13:43Hey.
13:44Hey.
13:45Hey.
13:46Hey.
13:47Hey.
13:48Hey.
13:49Hey.
13:50Hey.
13:51Hey.
13:52Hey.
13:53Hey.
13:54Hey.
13:55Hey.
13:56Hey.
13:57Hey.
13:58Hey.
13:59Hey.
14:00Hey.
14:01Hey.
14:02Hey.
14:03Hey.
14:04Hey.
14:05Hey.
14:06Hey.
14:07Hey.
14:08Hey.
14:09Hey.
14:10Hey.
14:11Hey.
14:12Hey.
14:13Hey.
14:14Hey.
14:15Hey.
14:16Hey.
14:17Hey.
14:18Hey.
14:19Hey.
14:20Hey.
14:21Hey.
14:22Hey.
14:23Hey.
14:24Hey.
14:25Hey.
14:26Hey.
14:27Hey.
14:28Hey.
14:29Hey.
14:31Hey.
14:33Hey.
14:54Alright, where is he?
14:57He's gone, but he was here a moment ago.
14:59and there is also not a dead man behind this screen.
15:07Bernardino, he's dead all right.
15:09Now tell me what happened.
15:11Well, I find the blonde señorita here.
15:14She acts like she has the ticket,
15:15so I try in a polite way to detain her.
15:18But this other man, how did he come in?
15:20By the front door, when he hears her screaming,
15:22he thinks I'm hurting her, so he attacks me,
15:24and then she's gone pronto.
15:26And then he goes.
15:27You had a good look at him?
15:28Could you identify him?
15:29Well, I can describe him,
15:30because I also remember seeing him at the hotel.
15:33Well, let's get over there and check him.
15:34But what of Bernardino?
15:35He'll keep.
15:59The manager can probably name the man who jumped you,
16:01if you can identify him.
16:02Well, he's about your size.
16:03He has a black tie.
16:04He looks like he might be an artist.
16:06And you let him take you?
16:07Underestimate him, amigo.
16:08He's a better man than I think.
16:10But don't worry, we'll meet again.
16:12Stay as you are, señoritas.
16:13I've got a gun.
16:14Stay away from me.
16:15Quietly, please.
16:28Help!
16:59Help!
17:15Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
17:16I didn't know you were an officer.
17:18Now, who are you?
17:19Lieutenant Matek, Mexican police.
17:21Why didn't you say so before this?
17:23Since when does a detective introduce himself
17:25to a couple of suspects?
17:27I thought you were a suspect.
17:29Everything's under control, Toro.
17:31These gentlemen are officers of the law.
17:34Policía?
17:35Detectives.
17:36Our job is to find a stolen lottery ticket.
17:39Make any progress?
17:41Si, señor.
17:42We will find the missing ticket upon this man.
17:46On me?
17:47Let me reconstruct your crime.
17:49You knew the ticket had been stolen from Garcia Navarro,
17:52did you not?
17:53Si, señor.
17:54You suspected Bernardino, the art dealer.
17:56You went to his store, did you not?
17:57I didn't, but let me explain.
17:59You did not plan murder, which takes courage.
18:02You have more the look of a blackmailer.
18:06A what?
18:07You demanded the share of the proceeds of the crime,
18:09but Bernardino refused.
18:10There was a quarrel and you stabbed him.
18:11Señor...
18:12Silence!
18:13Search him.
18:14I did not take it.
18:15Liar!
18:16This has gone far enough.
18:18Who are you?
18:19I'm Kit Carson,
18:20the man who notified the authorities of the stolen ticket.
18:23And this is my partner, El Toro.
18:25Ay, Dios mio.
18:27A comedy of errors.
18:28And all this time we should have been working together.
18:31My apologies, señor.
18:32From now on, let us cooperate.
18:35Con mucho gusto.
18:36Well, this is your case.
18:37Now, you lead off.
18:38Gracias.
18:39We plan our operations.
18:41Up until now,
18:42we have eliminated suspects A and B.
18:45You mean you have suspects we know nothing about?
18:47Suspects A and B turned out to be yourself
18:51and Señor Carson.
18:52Well, don't you have any guilty suspects
18:54like the señorita who you so bravely defended from me?
18:57Who is she?
18:58Well, I don't know much about her.
19:00Her name is Pearl
19:01and she was sitting at the table next to us
19:03while we were launching.
19:04Two men were with her.
19:05One's already been killed
19:06and the other one we've already checked up on.
19:08Who is he?
19:10An American rancher named Stanley Morgan.
19:12Yeah, and he seemed to be very much in love with her.
19:15And to whom she's bringing that ticket to right now.
19:17The ranch of Señor Morgan is just three miles south of here.
19:20But we have no horses.
19:22But we have.
19:23Let's go, Toro.
19:24Andale.
19:25Andale.
19:49And how is he now, my son?
19:50There has been no change, padre.
19:52Well, the doctor said we'd be seeing an improvement very soon.
19:55There has been no sign.
19:58Padre, I must go to confession.
20:00I must ask forgiveness.
20:02And what have you been doing that is so sinful?
20:04I have been disloyal and very selfish.
20:07How, my son?
20:08When we learned of the winning number,
20:10I left my father to tell you the good news.
20:12I thought only of the money,
20:14of myself,
20:16of my ticket to Mexico City.
20:18A natural thing for a lad to do.
20:20I should have thought of my father.
20:22Of the dangers and the evil so much money might bring.
20:25I should not have left him alone.
20:27If he dies,
20:29I will never paint another picture as long as I live.
20:36When will, my son?
20:37Father.
20:40The ticket.
20:41The winning ticket.
20:42Do not worry, Gracian.
20:44All will be well.
20:45Hurry, lad.
20:46Go for the doctor.
20:47Tell him your father is conscious at last.
20:48Yes, padre.
20:50Let's go.
21:14Pearl!
21:15I did not expect you.
21:17What were you doing?
21:18The same old story.
21:19I was trying to figure out a way to make ends meet.
21:21Are not you going to kiss me?
21:29What is better?
21:30Nothing is better.
21:31In fact, it is much worse.
21:33I might as well call it quits
21:34and turn the ranch over to the creditors.
21:36Would $50,000 help you solve your problem, Stanley?
21:40Of course.
21:41But where would I get that kind of money?
21:42From me.
21:43And where would you get it?
21:46I happen to hold the winning ticket
21:48for the Mexican National.
21:50I know all about that ticket.
21:51It belongs to Gracian Navarro.
21:53You stole it from him.
21:55Bernardino stole it.
21:56I got it from him, but he'll never talk.
21:58If I know Bernardino, he'll talk plenty.
22:01He's dead.
22:05You never liked him, did you?
22:07After what he did to Navarro,
22:08he got exactly what he deserved.
22:10Your logic is wonderful, Pearl.
22:12But I'm afraid I'm beginning to think as you do.
22:14I'm glad you've come to your senses where I'm concerned.
22:18After I cash this ticket,
22:19there's bound to be inquiries.
22:21How do I account for something
22:22that's been stolen twice before?
22:24There's the legal angle, Stanley.
22:27A wife and husband can't be forced
22:29to testify against each other.
22:33You haven't forgotten a thing, have you?
22:35I told you I'd find a way.
22:37That's very smooth,
22:38but from now on, you're on your own.
22:40What do you mean?
22:41I'm not fool enough to marry anyone like you.
22:43I'm gonna cash this ticket and keep the full amount.
22:46You wouldn't dare.
22:47Try and stop me.
23:07Stop him!
23:08Stop who?
23:09Stanley Morgan. He's got the ticket.
23:13Let's go.
23:44Let's go.
24:06Get at it.
24:07Get up there.
24:09Of all Manuel's paintings,
24:10I'm liking this one the best.
24:12I hope the governor will be pleased.
24:14I'm sure he will.
24:15In years to come,
24:16it'll take its place
24:17among the art treasures of California.
24:19Uh, what's it called?
24:21It has no title.
24:22But every picture has a title,
24:24like Venus.
24:26But this is not a picture of a lady.
24:28Allow me, senores,
24:29to make a suggestion.
24:31It is small,
24:32but it includes many things.
24:35It conveys the spirit of divinity
24:37and it conveys the spirit of the vast
24:39and wonderful land to the south of us.
24:42Let us call it the Ticket to Mexico.
24:44Ah, very well put, Graciel.
24:46Inscribe it on the back, me boy.
