Realizing that he must defeat the Lion with his bare hands, Hercules slipped into the Lion's cave and engaged it at close quarters. When the Lion pounced, Hercules caught it in midair, one hand grasping the Lion's forelegs and the other its hind legs, and bent it backwards, breaking its back and freeing the trapped maidens.

("The Cat and the Fiddle" however, showed its The End title card against a Technicolor background.) An extended version of the logo featuring Coffee appears at the beginning of the short "Wild People" (1932), featuring the lion roaring three times, rather than just twice.
