The Adventures of Tom the Tamer and Kid Kelly (1916)

Tom, the Tamer is on the job again. Kangarooing is no joke. If you don't believe it, ask Tom. When you try to teach a kangaroo how to swing a club like a policeman, and when the club falls and hits the kangaroo on the head -- whose fault is it? Ask the kangaroo. He blames Tom. So, helped by the kangaroo's jumping legs, which happen to fall upon his face, the tamer makes a little trip in the air. But Tom is no slouch. With the help of a snapping turtle and his little trusty lasso, Tom brings the kangaroo back. Then, Kid Kelly starts a little hunting trip of his own. He goes after a rabbit. True, a rabbit's legs work fast but, Kelly's brain works faster. He and Fido get a pretty rough deal. The rabbit leads them a mighty exciting chase. But, br'er rabbit gets too excited He runs into the bear's den-also into the bear's mouth. Like Daniel in the lion's den. Kelly goes for the bear--and gets the rabbit.
