The eponymous animal is a lion who has the misfortune to be engaged in research with Professor Daniel Potter (Tony Randall) who – by way of that research – falls in love with Janice Claridge (Shirley Jones).
We keep watching, hoping that Randall will rise above the script and that Jones will burst into song, but to no avail.
A waste of the two stars – and the lion.
