The Lion, the Lamb, the Man is a 1914 American silent drama film directed by Joe De Grasse, written by Tom Forman and featuring Lon Chaney and Pauline Bush.

Plot

Agnes Duane returns from college to her New England home and is surprised to find that her parents have chosen an effeminate minister named Percival Higginbotham to be her husband. She laughs at their poor choice, and to cure her of her intransigence, she is sent to live with her uncle in the mountains of Kentucky. There she meets the two Brown brothers who both fall in love with her. The younger brother tries to force himself on her, but he is stopped by the older brother. In a flashback fantasy sequence, the brothers are shown as two savage cave men in the prehistoric past who fight over the primitive woman they love. Back in the present, Agnes later escapes from the two men and meets the Reverend Hugh Baxton, a real man, and Agnes realizes he is the only man she could ever truly love.
