find out what the trouble is

Uncle Skye can't we do some looking too

[Music]

oh come on Uncle Skye where are we going

I'm just playing a hunch I have an idea

there's something wrong with that

Applebee's setup where in Mexico are we

going to the Border check for the

customs and immigration officials

foreign

I'm in charge of this office for both

Immigration and Customs wow happy to

know you lieutenant uh this is my niece

Penny oh

we have heard about your wonderful work

in your country uh how may I be

available to you

do you know a fellow by the name of

Appleby John Appleby Appleby Appleby

this is the man who uses many of our

laborers is this the one you mean

I think we're talking about the same man

how does he get those workers Through

official Channel Senor he personally

showed me the papers from both our

governments for the workers he brought

over the Border immediately goes to the

Villages and signs of those who want to

come

then he makes the necessary arrangements

why is there something wrong

I thought so but

now I don't know well thank you very

much anyway Lieutenant SI senor happy to

be of service to you come on Penny

[Music]

Uncle Skye if the sheriff has nothing on

Mr Appleby and the Mexican Authority

says all right well maybe he is

if a grown in Miguel I'd say maybe you

were right but I don't think Pepe would

lie kids are usually pretty truthful

well then what next

I think we'll go visit him

[Music]

[Music]

um

trouble boss maybe nothing I can't

handle make yourself scared

hello Appleby got to thinking about this

project to yours raising cotton I would

come out and have a look around glad you

came out I'll show you around

water here

we got six rounds beating these main

ditches takes a lot of water to irrigate

5000 Acres of cotton yeah

you may not know it but you're looking

at Pedro your best needs Digger in all
