''Grandma's Boy'' is a 1922 film directed by Fred C. Newmeyer, starring Creator/HaroldLloyd.
Lloyd is the grandma's boy, a timid young man living with his grandma in a small rural town. He yearns for romance with the local pretty girl (Mildred Davis, the future Mrs. Lloyd), while struggling with his rival, a bully who also wants the attentions of a pretty girl. Harold is a hopeless coward, quailing in fright when a hobo is found lurking in the yard, further embarrassed when his feisty grandma chases the hobo away with a broomstick.
The hobo actually turns out to be a dangerous criminal. The town forms a posse to catch him, but a terrified Harold runs away. His grandma, to buck up his courage, tells him a story about his grandpa. It seems that back in the [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar Civil War]], Harold's grandpa received a magic charm from an old witch, which rendered him invulnerable to harm. She then gives him the charm, which gives Harold courage.
No connection with the [[Film/{{Grandmas Boy 2006}} similarly named 2006 film]] starring Creator/AdamSandler.
