Short filmTranscript
00:00You have been served with a notice of eviction.
00:17Why are you still here?
00:19This is our house, mister.
00:21We've got no other place to go.
00:22That is your concern, not ours.
00:23You can't go in there!
00:24Leave her alone!
00:25Sounds like it comes from South, Pa.
00:40The Logan place.
00:44Put up the sign.
00:49You'll be all right.
00:54You'll be off this land by nightfall, senora.
01:24You'll be off this land by nightfall, senora.
01:54You'll be off this land by nightfall, senora.
02:24Senora, be off this land by nightfall.
02:28Senora.
02:30Sounds like Don Antonio.
02:32Let's go.
02:33Stay where you are, little Joe.
02:36Mary, the law is on their side.
02:39Andy and me, we homesteaded this place.
02:43Five years he sweated in these fields.
02:47Now we got a family coming. I'm not going.
02:50Mary, come with us.
02:55We'll be back. I promise.
03:01Give me your hand, boys.
03:09You boys stay here.
03:20Ben, Adam, I've got a report of killing.
03:23Andy Logan has been shot down in cold blood.
03:25As a matter of accuracy, he was killed in self-defense.
03:28Sheriff Hawkins has all the facts.
03:30That's right, Ben.
03:31Senior Logan has already made a complete report on behalf of his men.
03:34Well, did he report that it was his men who committed the murder?
03:36There's a difference, Ben.
03:38Logan was given a notice of eviction, so he had no legal right to be on that land.
03:43And a couple of witnesses saw him attack Senior Logan's men.
03:46All he was doing was defending what was his.
03:48There's no evidence of that.
03:50Well, there's Mrs. Logan's word.
03:53Do you think that'll stand up in court, Adam?
03:55Stand up in court?
03:57They talk of lawlessness of the West.
03:59Well, this is lawlessness backed up by law.
04:01They're evicting families, throwing them out of their homes, killing men.
04:04And you protect them.
04:05Now keep your shirt on, Ben.
04:07I don't like this any better than you do.
04:09This is not really your fight, Senior Cartwright.
04:11Why do you insist on interfering?
04:13Interfering?
04:14Of course it's our fight.
04:15We're trying to take part of our land, too.
04:17Technically speaking, yes.
04:19But although the De La Cuesta land grant takes in a few hundred acres of Ponderosa property,
04:24it is such a...
04:25Well, such a small section of your great ranch, you will hardly miss it.
04:29We happen to value every foot of our property, Senior Lugar.
04:32Your pardon, Senior.
04:34It is the property of my niece.
04:36Perhaps she will be gracious enough to permit you to retain it,
04:40if your attitude is cooperative.
04:42Well, you know what you can tell your niece.
04:44Some respect, sir.
04:46I'm talking about Isabella Maria Inez de Castro De La Cuesta,
04:49descendant of one of the oldest and noblest families in Spain.
05:00Sanchez, you are becoming quite amorous.
05:04Well, the noble Isabella De La Cuesta.
05:07Why not?
05:09Why don't you knock?
05:10Since when do you require privacy?
05:14One man meeting another in your presence.
05:17It's a common thing.
05:23Get out.
05:28My respects, dear lady.
05:32I'm sorry.
05:34My respects, dear lady.
05:45Sanchez.
05:47The darling of the barroom girls.
05:50Now he has you.
05:52Please do not give me one of your lectures.
05:54I am tired of being cooped up in this hotel room.
05:57But this room is much better than you're used to, my dear.
06:00These fine things, these flowers.
06:03For entertaining someone like Sanchez, I don't need them.
06:06I am Isabella De La Cuesta.
06:08Is that not right?
06:09Yes, that is right.
06:11Then I refuse to remain a minute longer in this carpeted prison.
06:16Just a few more days.
06:17Everything is going beautifully. Don't spoil it.
06:20How could I spoil it?
06:23Everybody is expecting Isabella De La Cuesta to be a great lady.
06:27Whatever you are, my dear.
06:30Well, you know your weakness.
06:32When the time comes, I will be as much a lady as anyone.
06:36I've spent years of my life on this project.
06:39Tracing the land grant and then tracing you.
06:41I won't let you destroy it now.
06:43You understand?
06:53Why do you mean this Lugar can just come in and throw homesteaders off their land
06:56and there's nothing we can do about it?
06:58Well, the Spanish land grants go back hundreds of years.
07:01Mexico recognizes them, we recognize them
07:03and the De La Cuesta claim has been examined and validated by the territorial land office.
07:07Apparently, it's in perfect order.
07:10I suppose it wasn't all in perfect order.
07:12No.
07:14We go to court and try to stop them.
07:20The records of the Spanish land grants are kept in Monterey, aren't they?
07:24Mm-hmm.
07:26Maybe worth looking into.
07:27Oh, would you like for us to ride down there and check on it?
07:32Yeah.
07:34Yeah, you and Joe, first thing in the morning.
07:36Check everything on file.
07:38Get a complete history of the De La Cuesta family.
07:41Meanwhile, Adam and I will file an action in Judge Blankney's court
07:45in the name of the Carson Valley settlers and ourselves.
07:48Well, what chance do you think we stand there?
07:52Very little, I suppose, if Isabella De La Cuesta is actually the true and rightful heiress.
07:58But there's still one more thing we could do.
08:00What's that?
08:01Talk to the great lady herself.
08:03After all, no one's seen or talked to except Senor Lugar.
08:07What good will that do?
08:09You don't think she's going to help us?
08:11How do we know? Until we find out.
08:15Here's hoping we can prove that Isabella De La Cuesta is not Isabella De La Cuesta.
08:29All right, Bill, where'd you put her?
08:31What are you talking about, Adam?
08:33The great lady, Senorita De La Cuesta, or whatever she calls herself.
08:37What room is she in?
08:38I can't tell you that, Adam. I've got orders.
08:41Those who've got friends.
08:45Room 33.
08:47Thanks.
09:28You're welcome.
09:58You're welcome.
10:28You're welcome.
10:58You're welcome.
11:29The list goes on.
11:48Very, very, very nice, Rosita.
11:51How about a drink?
11:53You must be mistaken.
11:55The name is not Rosita.
11:57No
12:03What is it then go away from me
12:06Look Rosita
12:08You wouldn't happen to be that woman that everybody in town is talking about would you the one that's claiming all that land?
12:13Let go of me
12:15Come on, just a couple of hundred. Nobody has to know the name is Rosita. You are wasting your time
12:19The name is Isabella de la Cuesta. Go away
12:23All right, let her go
12:25Well, now you just get out of here mister, this is none of your business well now I'm making in my business
12:52Exciting place
12:55No, you'll get over it I
12:57Appreciate your fighting for me. It was not your fight, but you are my fight scenery de la Cuesta. Oh
13:04Why?
13:06Who are you? My name is Cartwright
13:09Adam Cartwright. Oh, yes. I've heard my uncle talk about you
13:13It seems you are giving him some trouble. Oh
13:16I hope to give him a lot of trouble. Then why did you help me?
13:20Gentlemen always helps a lady
13:23At least you consider me a lady and a very beautiful one. Well in that case
13:28Perhaps you would walk me back to my hotel
13:31It'll be a pleasure
13:43I believe the ladies in room 33. I have the key
13:47I
14:02Don't in
14:07Your lady is full of surprises
14:10Well, at least I know she's not with you, huh?
14:12See, but she's not alone
14:14The one they call I am Cartwright. He's with her. Huh? You want me to no, no, no, what would we gain?
14:21She could be telling him certain things
14:24Is that what worries you Sanchez? Or are you maybe a little jealous, huh?
14:30Don Antonio I work for you
14:33But if you make fun of me, I'll kill you kill for her. Don't be a fool
14:38I'm glad that you like the wine of my native country. Let me refresh your glass. Oh
14:45I like your wine very much
14:49As senorita de la cuesta now begins the Inquisition
14:54Call it that if you like
14:57I'm not sure I'm not sure I'm not sure
14:59I'm not sure I'm not sure
15:02I'm not sure I'm not sure
15:04I'm not sure I'm not sure
15:07Call it that if you like no, I don't like I think it's a very ugly word ugly
15:12Then what do you call throwing people off their land? Is it their land or mine?
15:17It'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?
15:26By both
15:30Tell me senorita
15:33When did you first discover you were the heiress to the de la cuesta grant
15:37When my uncle don Antonio found me and told me
15:41And where did he find you?
15:46I only asked because I found you in a cantina and believe me no Spanish lady ever behaved the way you did
15:56You were of service to me in the cantina, mr. Katz, right
16:00But that does not give you the right to pry into my private affairs
16:06You know, we could be friends
16:12Could we
16:15No, when a man kisses me he has to have his mind on love not on business
16:22Adios
16:28I'll still a wager senorita
16:52At least you have learned to knock of course
16:59You've had a visitor
17:02That is my business
17:05Young cartwright, where did you meet him?
17:08That is also my business
17:11Mine also cartwrights are our main opposition. They will do everything they can to stop us
17:16Supposing we had one of the cartwrights on our side
17:21Isabella you have learned to handle men to perfection. Thank you
17:26But then of course I didn't have much choice
