The Bum Bandit (1931) |
Bimbo prepares to rob a train that he has forced to stop. He then sings "The Holdup Rag". A masked ferocious bearded cowboy emerges, challenges Bimbo, and eats the barrel of Bimbo's gun. Pulling off the cowboy's beard and costume, reveals himself to in fact be his wife Dangerous Nan McGrew, sister of Dan McGrew, whom he had abandoned. After singing "I'm Dangerous Nan McGrew", she then throws Bimbo into the locomotive, disconnects it from the rest of the train, and they drive off, making love as they take off their clothing.
