The Bear Cat (1922)

"Oh I aint no Killer nor bad man But he tumbled right down on the floor What can it be in my blood mo-o-o-ther That makes me so quick on the draw!"

The Bearcat, alias The Singin' Kid, crosses the Rio Grande into Three Pines, singing bloodthirsty verses, but in spite of these, he makes friends with Sheriff Bill Garfield and likewise with Alys May, daughter of cattle rancher John P. May, by saving her from a runaway. As a reward, he gets a job on the ranch and falls in love with Alys, though warned she is engaged to Aitken, her brother's college chum.
