Bill and the Lions(1912)

In search of something toothsome, two hungry lions escape and enter the house of Billy Lux. He endeavors to escape them, but they are hungry. Even when he hides in a suit of armor the lions still endeavor to get at him. This constitutes the first occasion upon record upon which lions have shown partiality for "tinned" meat; They are prevented from "Getting the distinguished William in their midst" by the arrival of their keeper.
