A Four Footed Desperado
Directed by C.J. WilliamsThe story begins when a high-strung bear escapes from his keeper and sallies forth in search of adventure. He is an eminently respectable bear with nice manners, and when he comes upon two ladies conversing across the fence he taps one playfully with his paw, and she, misunderstanding the gleam of affection in his "gentle" eyes, flees in alarm, the bear's feelings are hurt. And the same lack of confidence on the part of the other human beings with whom be comes in contact is noticeable wherever he goes. By the time he reaches the good ship "Sally R," the ridiculous behavior of people in general has spoiled his usual good temper, and he takes a melancholy delight in chasing the crew into the rigging. Then suddenly becomes upon the captain's daughter, a little girl of nine, sitting on deck with a big bowl of bread and milk. She tells the bear that he is a naughty big doggy to chase people, and feeds him bread and milk with a spoon, smacking him sharply with it when he becomes impatient.
