Of course, this short is nothing more than an excuse for Will Rogers to show off his world-champion roping skills, but it's a lot of fun and the tricks are simply phenomenal. Add to that the cool slow-mo photography, which looks great today, let alone how innovative it was for the time. Add to that a monkey with a rope. You can see this at archive.org.
