- May 11, 1924 (1924-05-11)
The Circus Cowboy is a lost 1924 American silent Western film directed by William A. Wellman and produced and distributed by Fox Film Corporation.[1][2][3]
Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[4] returning home from Africa, Buck Saxon finds that his sweetheart, Norma Wallace, is married to Ezra Bagley, a wealthy miser. Buck interferes to save Norma when her stepson Paul threatens her. When the younger Bagley is shot and killed by the father in mistake for Buck, Buck gets the blame. Escaping, he joins a circus where Bird Taylor, a young woman who loves him, works as a tightrope walker. Buck entertains the public by performing riding feats. An animal trainer is jealous of Buck, and cuts the rope while Bird Taylor is doing her stuff in the air. Buck spoils this little game by catching Bird expertly as she is hurdling to the floor. Ezra Bagley tacks down Buck but is finally forced to admit the truth regarding the slaying of his son. Vindicated, Buck weds Bird.
