** At one point bear cubs immediately start drinking from a milk bottle when Ross offers it—only trained bears would do that. Wild bears wouldn't know what to do with it (Which is a good thing, cause otherwise it would probably mean Ross shot their mom offscreen).

''Catching Trouble'' is a short demonstrating Ross Allen going out and bullying several animals and then dragging them back to human civilization. When nature tries to protect its animals, it is torn asunder and murdered as well. Meanwhile, [[TheNarrator narrator]] Ted Husing makes cracks about the tormented animals like there's no tomorrow. Unlike the Long Weekend, there is a sad ending.

!!Tropes:

* DullSurprise: Ross, with dull everything else.
* GreatWhiteHunter: Or catcher.
* HaveAGayOldTime: A couple of times, the narrator refers to Ross as "My boyfriend".
* JerkAss: Back then, Ross Allen probably seemed like a swell guy. Today though...
* KickTheDog: It seems that at least a few of the scenes were staged solely to let us watch Ross exert his power over the animals, like the bear cub escaping from the boat.
* SuperPersistentPredator: Its name is Ross and it will have its Indian guide chop a tree down just to get at a mountain lion.
* WorkedShoot:
** Presented as a documentary, but features scenes obviously set up ahead of time, such as the cameras just ''happening'' to be underwater as the bear cubs just ''happen'' to jump off the boat.
** At one point bear cubs immediately start drinking from a milk bottle when Ross offers it—only trained bears would do that. Wild bears wouldn't know what to do with it.
