"I'm a lion!" Repeat it enough and this slapstick becomes funnier. Simple premise of a lowly coward transformed into a brave lion by a hypnotist and every problem gets solved, plus he gets a hefty bonus at the end after abusing his stepson. A good intro to WC Fields for me since I'd never heard of him before. Makes me wonder what other silent gems will go forgotten. Fav scene: repeatedly punching the deadbeat toy store owner with the owner popping up after each punch.
