"Ropes" Reilly, told not to rope cattle anymore, proceeds to rope goats, people, and himself in a dazzling display of virtuosity. After doing every rope trick imagineable, he is suspected of murder when a man is found dead having been dragged by a horse. It turns out that this is merely a trap set by the film's crew to give them an ending to the film. Reilly rebels, and angrily drags away the film director behind his horse. Film uses slow-motion photography to depict the rope flying in great detail. 541 0 PFA 1612-108-8425.
