Captain Thunder (1930)

A notorious Mexican bandit goes all soft and mushy when he falls for a beautiful senorita Warner Bros Captain Thunder contains some of the darndest Mexican accents youve ever heard in your life The star is Hungarianborn Victor Varconi portraying a legendary south of the border outlaw who tries to force Canadian senorita Fay Wray to marry a rival rustler whom she despises She pleads with the bandito so pathetically that he is moved to grant her a single wish Without hesitation she chooses her poor but true love The bandit king being a somewhat honorable fellow grants the wish and without a twitch guns down the wicked cattle thief Fortunately the film was played for comedy a wise decision since it probably would have garnered laughs as a straight drama anyway
