Buster Crabbe & Roy Bean's Bear

In the dusty frontier town of Langtry, Judge Roy Bean—self-appointed lawman, saloonkeeper, and master of his own brand of justice—routinely fines lawbreakers, often collecting the money himself. When a railroad worker is accused of murdering a Chinese laborer, Bean dismisses the case, not out of cruelty, but to prevent a race riot, a decision that reveals the shrewd, if unorthodox, reasoning behind his rulings. Meanwhile, his prized bear Bruno, a drinking, punishing, and occasionally prank-playing companion, becomes the unexpected centerpiece of a dangerous deal involving a salesman and a bear skin.
