Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Grandma's Boy is a 1922 comedy film directed by Fred C. Newmeyer, starring Harold Lloyd.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 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.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })No connection with the similarly named 2006 film starring Adam Sandler.

Chekhov's Gunman: The hobo, aka "The Rolling Stone", pops up in one scene that is apparently meant to show what a chicken Harold is and how badass his grandma is in contrast. Then the latter portion of the film has a posse chasing said hobo, who is a dangerous criminal.
