Her boyfriend, the bandit Alfonso Bedoya appears and tries to kill José, who jumps from the window into Donald's rumble seat.

They perform a musical number, but get knocked off by Alfonso, who hijacks the train, but the caballeros use Donald's car to jump on the last flatcar.

There is no silver remaining, but instead of feeling disappointed, the three caballeros share a hearty laugh, agreeing that they have had a great adventure, and the fact that there is no reward at the end just makes it a better story.

Leaving the jamboree, Huey, Dewey, and Louie return to the hotel where they are stunned to see the three caballeros ride on stage on Panchito's horse, performing their song to riotous applause from the audience.

They are even more amazed when José and Panchito tell them their Uncle Donald is the bravest, truest friend they know, as well as a better man than them for having the courage to raise three boys.
