Their most beloved story!"; an attempt to recreate the success of "The Champ", with the same stars, and a very similar plot; here, Beery is a lion tamer in a circus who is married to a trapeze artist; after they have a son, his wife runs off, and he is so despondent that he is mauled by a lion and loses an arm; for the rest of the movie, Beery must pretend to be one-armed, and he searches for his lost son, eventually finding him in a military academy where he was put after his wife died in a trapeze accident; to win his son back, Beery must return to being a lion tamer, especially difficult because he has one arm and he is now petrified of lions!) starring Wallace Beery (in the title role as Captain Michael 'Windy' 'O'Shaugnessy), Jackie Cooper (in the title role as Joseph 'Stubby' O'Shaughnessy), George 'Spanky' McFarland (who played Stubby as a child!), Henry Stephenson, Sara Haden, and Clarence Muse. Note that Spanky McFarland plays Jackie Cooper's character as a young boy, in a rare non-Our Gang performance, and because of his popularity at the time, he was given a very large third billing!

Important Added Info: Note that glass slides were designed to be put in a special projector that would project the image onto a movie screen (they use exactly the same concept as 35mm slides). We have taken a digital photo of each that shows the general condition of the overall slide and holder, and we have also made a digital scan that shows the glass image well, but does not show the holder (except as a dark outline). Condition: very good to fine. The theater that used this slide wrote the days the movie was playing in the play dates section at the bottom of the glass. Otherwise, the glass slide itself is in nice condition and the cardboard holder has some minor smudges (as can be seen in our super-sized images). Learn More about condition grades
