During the scene where Harold Lloyd's character meets Jackie the lion, on the first take when Lloyd pets Jackie, the lion actually bit him on his right hand. However, he was not injured because the lion's teeth scraped against his two prosthetic fingers (Lloyd had lost most of his right hand in an on-set accident in 1919). After that, he refused to pet the lion ever again on- or off-screen, and in the second take, which was used for the film, his terrified squirming over the lion standing next to him is genuine.
