The Thrill Hunter
The Thrill Hunter is a 1933 American PreCode comedy film directed by George B. Seitz. Buck Jones stars as a habitual teller of tall tales, while Dorothy Revier plays the film star he tries to impress.
Much to Bucks dismay, Jackson has believed his stories about being an expert driver and pilot. Buck is expected to drive a highpowered car around an oval track and fly a biplane. After a hairraising few minutes, he crashes the car. He then tries to learn how to fly overnight. However, he is spotted at an airplane simulatorride by Roy Lang, assistant to studio producer Sam Levine. Roy informs Sam that Buck is a fake. They rush out to the airport, but not in time. Buck takes off, flies around, then crashes. When they pull him out of the wreckage unscathed, Sam fires him on the spot. Buck confesses and apologizes to Marjorie, then hops on a freight train.When he gets off, two other riders take him at gunpoint back to the cabin where he found the bodies. They turn out to be Al Blake and Lou Norton, the other members of the Blake gang. Al wants the locket. It turns out the directions to where the gold is stashed are hidden in it. Buck tells them he gave it to Marjorie. They tie him up and go to the train station. As luck would have it, Marjorie and her crew have returned to resume filming. The robbers kidnap Marjorie. Meanwhile, Buck frees himself and spots them as they drive past. He steals an airplane, gives chase and shoots the two crooks from the air just like he claimed he shot Japanese officers in China. Afterward, he tells Marjorie he will never lie again. He soon starts to tell her another tall tale, but then sheepishly remembers his promise. ........
