Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film's first documented telecast occurred Monday 9 July 1945 on New York City's pioneer television station WNBT (Channel 1); on Monday 23 June 1947 it was seen again on WCBS (Channel 2). At this time it was under the control of Sherman S. Krellberg's Goodwill Pictures, who had re-released it theatrically and was now picking up a little extra revenue from an occasional television broadcast. In September 1948 it would join the rest of its brethren in William Boyd's Hopalong Cassidy movie package, which would become a popular nationally syndicated movie series for many years to come.
- Quotes
Bill 'Hop-a-long' Cassidy: I'm sorry.
El Toro: You mean to stop me?
Bill 'Hop-a-long' Cassidy: You're El Toro, ain't you?
El Toro: Oh, Senor, what I have been I have been. But now I have no quarrel with the law. Now it is not El Toro the bandit who speaks, but a poor troubled old man who asks you to be kind. Oh, Senor, for the first time in his life, El Toro is begging a favor. Please, please let me go on.
Bill 'Hop-a-long' Cassidy: You wouldn't have a chance. Every peace officer in the country's lookin' for ya.
El Toro: I know that, Senor. But the little boy, he's in great danger. I go to him...
Bill 'Hop-a-long' Cassidy: El Toro! Get back where you belong!
El Toro: But Senor! You do not understand. It is another life, a poor, helpless, little boy.
Bill 'Hop-a-long' Cassidy: Get goin' back across the border.
[Hoppy's stone face breaks into a reassuring smile]
Bill 'Hop-a-long' Cassidy: I'll bring that little boy back to you.
El Toro: Thank you.
- ConnectionsEdited into Danger Trail (1951)
Legendary Mexican bandit El Toro played by Franklyn Farnum is spotted on this side of the border. Farnum is on a mission, to find and rescue his grandson George Mori who was left alive after his parents are killed when they are robbed of gold he was shipping.
Farnum finds Hoppy all right, stuck in quicksand and sinking fast. Who could blame Hoppy for not following through on his apprehension after El Toro pulls him out. Instead he takes on El Toro's mission to find the little kid. The outlaws who killed the parents also want the kid to eliminate a witness.
As I said it's only a duo here, Bill Boyd and his young sidekick James Ellison. Gabby Hayes is here, minus his beard and sporting a handlebar mustache. He's bartender for head villain Addison Richard at Richard's saloon.
The Eagle's Brood proves if nothing else Hoppy is a man of honor.
