McKenna of the Mounted (1933) part 2 of 2

In this 30s film, Sergeant Tom McKenna (Buck Jones) is discharged from the Northwest Mounties in disgrace.

After the official ceremony is over and he’s getting changed out of his uniform, a former colleague comes in to tell him that the boys are waiting for him and he’ll keep his shirt off “unless he’s yellow”.

When our hero gets outside, his former colleagues are waiting in two rows with thick leather straps at the ready. As our hero walks between them, he’s beaten hard across his back and chest.

Buck Jones is a fine, stocky specimen and for me what makes this super hot is this is an unofficial punishment from colleagues who feel his disgrace reflects badly on them. 

Of course, it’s the classic ruse to get him thrown out so he can pursue the real culprits. It’s an old trope, but who’s complaining if it results in a whipping?
