However, his rival Oscar Thrust (Dane) is the keeper of a "Man-Eating Gorilla" named Bimbo, who's a featured act. He sabotages Byrd's efforts at impressing Belle, enough so she sees him as a coward. When the circus is travelling by train, Bimbo gets loose, rampaging through the cars, chasing Belle onto a roof , and the engineer off the engine. Byrd manages to stop the train, avoiding what would have been certain doom. Written by WesternOne1 See less
