Quotes

[Steve can't understand how the Mexican police knew the time and date of his rendevous with the outlaw gang]
Ranger Capt. Henley: Steve, I got a hunch that somebody in Copper City is selling information to anyone who'll pay for it.
Steve Carson: For instance?
Ranger Capt. Henley: Well, there's been a character walking around El Dorado asking about you.
Steve Carson: That wouldn't be Smiley Burnette, would it?
Ranger Capt. Henley: Yes, that's the man.
Steve Carson: Oh, Henley, we're sunk! I can handle outlaws but I can't handle that Smiley.
