Papa's Boy

Lloyd Hamilton goes into a frenzy of net-waving every time he spots a butterfly, so his father hires Glen Cavender to toughen him up.

It's not one of my favorite Lloyd Hamilton shorts -- Lloyd causes more problems, rather than being the butt of the universe's cruel sense of humor -- nut there are the usual fine gag sequences that made Hamilton one of the most admired short-form comedians of the 1920s. Plus there's a skunk and an alligator -- although the latter is occasionally replaced by a blow-up prop.
