The Apache Kid is a 1930 cartoon short distributed by Columbia Pictures and features Krazy Kat.^[2] The film is the character's 149th film.

Plot

In a tavern, Krazy is playing the piano while his spaniel girlfriend is sitting on it and singing. After spending a few moments by that instrument, they stood up and do the Apache dance. Suddenly, a tiger came by and grabbed the spaniel, taking her far away. Though the kidnapper flees in a horse, Krazy still chooses to run after on foot.

Krazy follows the tiger's trail into a sewer. Krazy almost managed to catch the spaniel while on top of the tiger without him noticing. He asks the spaniel to stop screaming so he can catch her silently without the tiger noticing but the tiger notices Krazy and he throws him into the sewer water and goes with the spaniel to a secret lair. Unfortunately for Krazy, the tiger leaves the place where he is with the spaniel without entry. Desperately wanting to be released and see her boyfriend again, the spaniel weeps on the couch. In this, the tiger decides to cheer her up with a song and dance. While the captor is trying to entertain, Krazy finds an opening to the secret lair and goes in. Krazy finally confronts the tiger, and the two guys decide to settle things in a knife battle. Following several exchanges, the tiger is knocked cold. Krazy and the spaniel are reunited.

Spaniel girlfriend

Krazy's spaniel girlfriend makes one of her earliest appearances in this short, therefore becoming one of the primary cast not originating from the comic strip. She would then replace Ignatz Mouse as Krazy's supporting character, and even appearing in the title cards from 1930 to 1933.
