devoted to "Fearless Fagan," a lion he has raised since Fagan
was four days old. Through Floyd's gentle care, Fagan behaves
more like a pet than a wild animal, much to the chagrin of lion
tamer Emil Tauchnitz, who beratees Floyd for his naïvité. One

to receive his notice. Floyd is happy to serve his country, but
worried about Fagan, refuses to let him stay with the circus,
and Emil. Having no luck in finding the perfect home, Floyd
sneaks Fagan into the woods
