It happens that there is a man-eating lion with the same name and a big bet is placed on Van who shows all the confidence in the world that he will capture "The Assasin." There is a good scene where he described how he will do this by chasing his quarry until it is tired, catching it in a net and then chloroforming it. A rabbit scares Van and he runs away. A native chief has a flivver and Van under- takes to run it. It gets out of control and runs through the Jungle and the lion leaps in and gets tangled up in the net. The party is dumbfounded when Van appears with the car and the lion. Written by
