Contest (1923)

The Clown (yet to be named KoKo) holds a contest, offering 100 dollars to whomever can ride “Dynamite” the trick mule for five minutes. Once the crowd discovers the mule is mechanical, however, they chase the Clown in a fury. When they corner him, Max has to step in to stop the chaos.
