Arthur Treacher (who often played a butler) is the narrator of this delightful "how to" feature. It shows how the average little guy can defend himself against attack from a bully, twice his size. Each is creative, and, to some extent, realistic. The one that I heard once was to throw up on their shoes. Although, that would take a bit of extra work.

Absolutely wonderful in style, tone and execution
llltdesq12 September 2001
This short, nominated for an Academy Award, is precisely what its title indicates-an instruction on how to defend oneself if one is a coward. As a President Emeritus of The Coward's Guild (I was President three times running-literally), I cannot advocate physical defense as the wisest personal reaction (I prefer being elsewhere-as far as possible), but the "instructions" doubtless will work.
The selection of Arthur Treacher as narrator was a stroke of genius. This is one of four in a series of "Self-help" shorts made by Rembrandt Films. All four are on Rembrandt Films Greatest Hits and are all very good indeed. Well worth getting. Most highly recommended.
