| Description: | Lion Tamers, Junior-grade At the famed steel pier, veteran lion tamer Dick Clemens conducts a class in lion taming for the youngsters. One brave girl tries her skill at holding Mister Leo at bay, as other fascinated youngsters watch the scary proceedings. Little girl pretending she's a lion tamer- the only thing is that- it isn't a real lion its a guy in a sort of lion suit. The body half of the suit is a Bangle Tiger and he tops it off wearing a Lion Head. I guess no one told him that he had on the wrong bottom on. Other children watch this strange show. The real tamer comes out with a real lion. He has the whip and chair and the lion makes noses at him. He brings in a teenage girl in to try her hand at taming the lion. Next shot where the tamer has no chair or whip he just makes a boxing motion and the lion lays on his side and the lion tamer lays on top of the lion. | |
