The Lion Tamer is a 1934 animated short film produced by the Van Beuren Studios and directed by Vernon Stallings and starring Charles J. Correll and Freeman F. Gosden as the voices of their popular radio characters, Amos 'n' Andy.
In a cage Andy struts his stuff with a whip while an obviously fake lion tries to avoid the stinging blows (with Crawford sticking his head out of the lion's mouth and telling Andy to be careful with that whip).
The real lion meanwhile chews through its restraining rope and trails Andy, whom it saw earlier.
Andy starts flicking his whip again while Amos who is outside the cage tries to warn him that he now faces the real lion.
A fight ensues, hidden by clouds of dust and debris flying, and Amos manages to get Andy out of the cage.
