Napoleon and Samantha is a 1972 American adventure drama film directed by Bernard McEveety and written by Stewart Raffill.

He and his grandfather adopt a lion named Major when by chance they meet an old clown who cannot take him back to Europe.

A cougar attacks Napoleon's rooster, but Major easily defeats the much smaller cat and chases it up a tree.

Eventually the children find Danny's cabin and he takes them in with the hope of convincing Napoleon that orphanages really aren't that bad.

Danny leaves the kids with a man named Mark Pierson and attempts to find Samantha's family to notify them, but he is arrested and accused of kidnapping the children.

When things are back to normal, Napoleon takes Major and tries to run away again to live with the Indians, but Danny catches up.
