00:11:05Well, you want the dramatic highlights or just a little personal touches?
00:11:07Anything you care to say.
00:11:08All right, that's great. We'll start from the beginning.
00:11:10Okay, step in, Chief.
00:11:13Arena, Joe.
00:11:21Murphy Harris, same paper.
00:11:22Meet Muggs McGinnis, the greatest fighter on the East Side.
00:11:25Hello, Chief.
00:11:25What's new, Shorty?
00:11:27Well, Muggsy, how about telling us something about yourself?
00:11:29When I was three months old, I'd run away from home.
00:11:31Six months later, I'd come back, my father took one look at me, and he'd run away from home.
00:11:37All kidding aside, when did you first start fighting?
00:11:39I started when I was very young.
00:11:41I won my first 18 fights by knockouts.
00:11:44Then they took my brass knuckles away.
00:11:46Scrap metal.
00:11:52Hey, what's the idea?
00:11:53We ain't going to the arena.
00:11:55What are those blinds down for?
00:11:58Haven't you heard?
00:11:59This car's having a dim out.
00:12:01You can't get away with this, let me up.
00:12:03You should try to be more cooperative, champ.
00:12:05Relax.
00:12:06We're going to let you in on a little treat.
00:12:08Listen, there's 10 million people down there tonight that paid to see me fight.
00:12:10I gotta get there, you understand?
00:12:12They'll see a fight, all right.
00:12:13But you won't be in it.
00:12:19And Amsterdam has a good right.
00:12:22That was a pretty good fight, wasn't it?
00:12:23Yeah, well, you see the next one.
00:12:25I can hardly wait.
00:12:27Hey, Danny, you're wanted in the dressing room right away.
00:12:29What for?
00:12:30Don't ask questions, just come on.
00:12:32Well, go ahead, Danny.
00:12:35If that substitute of yours isn't here in three minutes,
00:12:37we're going to have to disqualify the east side kids.
00:12:39Hey, Glimpy, why don't you go in?
00:12:40Who, me? I'm not in shape.
00:12:43Is that him?
00:12:44Yeah.
00:12:45Okay, thanks.
00:12:46What's going on?
00:12:47Ah, Mug's got lost somewhere.
00:12:49So you gotta go in and fight for him.
00:12:50Me? I'm not in shape.
00:12:51Uh-uh, I said that first.
00:12:53What do you got to worry about?
00:12:54You was runner-up, wasn't you?
00:12:55You can't get hurt.
00:12:56Look, if you're not in there within three minutes,
00:12:58we get disqualified.
00:12:59Take the clothes off, come on, will you?
00:13:01Hey, Joe, go out and explain to Ivy, will you?
00:13:03Right away.
00:13:04How long we got?
00:13:05Oh, about three minutes.
00:13:06Come on, get on the table.
00:13:07I'll give you a rubdown fast.
00:13:08Don't get in my way.
00:13:11Ivy, Mug's didn't show up.
00:13:13Danny's gotta go on in his place.
00:13:15Well, where is Mug's?
00:13:16He left the house in town.
00:13:17I don't know.
00:13:18We haven't heard a word from him.
00:13:19Maybe he had an accident.
00:13:20Danny can't go in there and fight.
00:13:21He's not in condition.
00:13:22Oh, look, Ivy, it's only four rounds.
00:13:24He can't get hurt much.
00:13:25Much?
00:13:26He was runner-up last year, wasn't he?
00:13:28Yeah.
00:13:29Oh.
00:13:30Turn on the radio, Joe.
00:13:31Save the electricity.
00:13:32That fight will be forfeited just like you guys won.
00:13:34Shut up.
00:13:35I want to listen to the fight.
00:13:36That's right.
00:13:37There ain't gonna be no fight unless I'm in there.
00:13:47You all right, Danny?
00:13:48Yeah, I guess I'm okay.
00:13:49Well, just don't worry about it.
00:13:50If anything happens, I'll be right in there
00:13:51with that water bucket.
00:13:52Water bucket?
00:13:53What are you, an air raid warden?
00:13:54Gee, I wish I was in there fighting.
00:13:55I shall never forget my first fight.
00:13:57Never forget my last fight.
00:13:58Same fight.
00:13:59Don't worry.
00:14:00I'm gonna win this fight.
00:14:01That's the spirit, kid.
00:14:02Just go in there.
00:14:03Keep swinging.
00:14:04Keep swinging.
00:14:05In case you don't hit the guy, the breeze
00:14:06might give him pneumonia.
00:14:07Ladies and gentlemen, this is the main event
00:14:10of the evening, four rounds of boxing in this corner
00:14:15and representing the West Side, battling Hank Johnson.
00:14:21And in this corner, from Muggsy McGinnis
00:14:25and representing the East Side, young Danny Lyon.
00:14:29They can't do that.
00:14:30They can't such a thing to me.
00:14:31Hey, get easy, Mr. Dynamite.
00:14:33You're not in the ring tonight.
00:14:36I get it.
00:14:37Danny paid you guys to snatch me tonight
00:14:39just so he could fight.
00:14:40Huh?
00:14:41Is that it?
00:14:42What's the matter?
00:14:43Don't you think Mr. Lyon's gonna win?
00:14:44Win?
00:14:45He'll be hanging on those ropes so much tonight
00:14:46he'll never be able to get up again.
00:14:47He'll never be able to get up again.
00:14:49He'll be hanging on those ropes so much
00:14:50tonight that people will think he's a yo-yo.
00:14:52Pretty smart kid, though, don't you think?
00:14:54Sure, sure, he's smart.
00:14:55Very smart.
00:14:56You know, all the time he's been associating
00:14:57with you cheap snipers, and I never knew nothing about him.
00:15:00That's what I mean about being smart.
00:15:05Now, you boys know all the rules.
00:15:07Make a nice clean fight of it.
00:15:08Keep all your punches up.
00:15:09In case of a knockdown, go to the farthest neutral corner.
00:15:12Shake hands and come out fighting.
00:15:15Hey, ref, in case Danny gets knocked down,
00:15:17which corner does he go to?
00:15:18Well, this is it.
00:15:22Get in there.
00:15:23Get in there.
00:15:42Wait, look out.
00:15:48Come on, give it to him.
00:15:52Keep your left up, you.
00:16:07Boys, move around cautiously.
00:16:14Watch that left.
00:16:15Oh, I wish it wasn't that way.
00:16:16Ooh.
00:16:17Ooh, I wish it was in there.
00:16:18Ooh, I wish it was in there.
00:16:18Well, why didn't you get in there when you had a chance?
00:16:21Ooh, I'm glad I'm not in there.
00:16:27All right, stop groaning.
00:16:33Get it.
00:16:35Get it in there.
00:16:37Get it.
00:16:41Watch that left, Jim.
00:16:42Listen to me.
00:16:43You'll be a fighter.
00:16:44You know, you're ruining my reputation.
00:16:46I'm sick of this thing.
00:16:48Get in there and keep clear of this thing.
00:16:50Keep your head.
00:16:57Lyons comes out, barely able to keep his hand up.
00:16:59Johnson, cool, ready for the kill.
00:17:01Steps around smartly.
00:17:04See that?
00:17:05Lyons jipped his way into that ring tonight.
00:17:06Now he's getting just what's coming to him.
00:17:08But that ain't nothing compared to what's
00:17:09going to happen to him when I get
00:17:10out of this overcrowded bus.
00:17:15He isn't doing so well.
00:17:17He'll come around once he gets used to being in there.
00:17:39Wait a minute, Annie.
00:17:40Take it easy, Annie.
00:17:41Take it easy.
00:17:42Do it with that right hand, Annie.
00:17:43Do it with that right hand, Annie.
00:17:58One, two, three.
00:18:01Get up. Get up.
00:18:02What are you waiting for?
00:18:03Come on, get up.
00:18:04Five, six, seven.
00:18:14One, two, three, four, five.
00:18:19One more like that and you'll be able to go home.
00:18:21Thanks.
00:18:22Seven, eight, nine.
00:18:28He did it.
00:18:29Hit him again.
00:18:30Hit him with your right.
00:18:36How do you feel, Sheriff?
00:18:37Sit down.
00:18:38Come on.
00:18:39Hurry up.
00:18:41Look, this time go and give him a left cross,
00:18:43a right cross, then give him a Japanese uppercut.
00:18:45A Japanese uppercut?
00:18:46Yeah, a double cross.
00:18:47Come on, kid.
00:18:48Build up.
00:18:53Beat him up.
00:18:55Come on, Danny.
00:18:57Danny boy.
00:19:07Yes, folks.
00:19:08Danny Lyons just saved the day.
00:19:11He seemed to step out of a trance.
00:19:12Lyons lands a vicious hook to Wildcat's right eye.
00:19:23Hey, what goes on?
00:19:24You got me.
00:19:25Give him a left.
00:19:26Give him a right.
00:19:27Give him a right.
00:19:33Johnson is down.
00:19:34He's down.
00:19:35One, two, three, four.
00:19:41Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
00:19:50Well, can you picture that?
00:19:52He must have hit him with a stool.
00:19:59And now, ladies and gentlemen, the winner,
00:20:01Danny Lyons will receive the coveted amateur boxing belt.
00:20:04It'll take you 10 years to work this off.
00:20:07And you start tomorrow.
00:20:10You hit that guy so hard with that bolo,
00:20:12they're still counting over him.
00:20:13Will that Muggs be surprised?
00:20:14I'm not very surprised.
00:20:16Muggs, where have you been?
00:20:17What happened to you?
00:20:18I've been around.
00:20:19Don't worry.
00:20:20We won the championship.
00:20:21See, Muggs, when you didn't show up,
00:20:22we didn't know what to do.
00:20:23We did all right, kid.
00:20:25Your friends took very good care of me.
00:20:27My friends?
00:20:28What are you talking about?
00:20:29Might as well tell you, fellas.
00:20:31Danny fixed it up so he could fight tonight instead of me.
00:20:34Muggs, you're wrong.
00:20:35Yeah, yeah.
00:20:36Playing dumb, huh?
00:20:37Don't you figure this out?
00:20:38I don't know what you're talking about.
00:20:39I wouldn't do a thing like that.
00:20:40No, you wouldn't do it.
00:20:41But you hired a couple of polonkas
00:20:42to take me for a ride until this fight was over.
00:20:44Hey, is he making with the truth?
00:20:45Is that on the level?
00:20:46Hey, what goes on?
00:20:47Muggs, you're wrong.
00:20:48You gotta believe me, you're wrong.
00:20:49Yeah, yeah, I know.
00:20:50Incidentally, this belt belongs to me.
00:20:54OK, Muggs.
00:20:55What about the car and those guys?
00:20:57Yeah, I know.
00:20:58You never heard nothing about it.
00:20:59Of course, you know I'm still champ around here.
00:21:01Sure, Muggs.
00:21:02Well, just to prove it.
00:21:04Hey, wait a minute.
00:21:06Now I'm going out and show the press the real champ.
00:21:08Hey, Cam, I gotta take some pictures.
00:21:09I will, I will.
00:21:10I'll take care of it.
00:21:11Danny's coming.
00:21:13Hello, ma'am.
00:21:14Hello, Mr. Gander.
00:21:15Congratulations, Danny.
00:21:16You were great tonight.
00:21:18We heard the whole thing on the radio.
00:21:20Where's the belt you won?
00:21:21Oh, the belt?
00:21:23You won it, didn't you?
00:21:25Yeah, I won it.
00:21:27But I lost it.
00:21:28Lost it?
00:21:29Where?
00:21:30How could you lose it?
00:21:31I don't know.
00:21:32I don't know.
00:21:33I don't know.
00:21:35How could you lose it?
00:21:38I'll tell you all about it later, ma'am.
00:21:40Sure, Danny.
00:21:41Oh, by the way, one of my boys left for the army this afternoon.
00:21:44You can have the job tomorrow.
00:21:46Gee, that's swell, Mr. Gander.
00:21:48I'll be there first thing in the morning.
00:21:50Good night, Mrs. Lange.
00:21:51Good night, Mr. Gander.
00:21:52Good night, Danny.
00:21:53Good night, sir.
00:21:57Danny, what about the belt?
00:21:59Well, I didn't exactly lose it, ma'am.
00:22:02The east side has it.
00:22:05Well, I gave it to Muggs.
00:22:06If I didn't, it would have meant a brawl.
00:22:08Ma'am, why don't you let me go out and teach him a lesson?
00:22:11Danny, as long as I live, I will never have a son of mine fighting in the streets.
00:22:15But, ma'am...
00:22:23Things are getting heavy, Mr. Clark.
00:22:25Halt!
00:22:26There you are, ladies and gentlemen.
00:22:28Meet the new champ, Muggs McGinnis.
00:22:30Muggs is going to hit Danny Lyon so hard,
00:22:33they're going to count him out in the air.
00:22:35He's going to give him a mushroom nose, a cauliflower ear.
00:22:38In fact, he's going to make him the only kid in this block with a built-in victory garden.
00:22:42He's so tough, he told Joe Lewis where to get off.
00:22:45He told Joe Lewis where to get off? Are you kidding?
00:22:47Well, they were riding on the same streetcar together.
00:22:50What do you say, champ?
00:22:52It's a pleasure to stand up here and look down at all these smiling and intelligent faces.
00:22:56Now, don't you folks think the phony champ ought to come out and fight like a real man?
00:23:00Yes.
00:23:02Well, then call him.
00:23:03Danny!
00:23:04What's the matter with you? You trying to make yourself conspicuous?
00:23:07Now, call him conservatively.
00:23:08Danny!
00:23:13Take it easy, champ. I don't want you to bruise that hand you're fighting next week.
00:23:17Muggs McGinnis, beat it.
00:23:19Not till Danny comes down. I want to give him a little lesson in pugilistic art.
00:23:23He's working.
00:23:24Working, huh?
00:23:26Whose baby carriage is he pushing now?
00:23:28Go and find out for yourself.
00:23:31It's the Lewis Gendix garage.
00:23:36Gendix?
00:23:37Sir, that mooch is muscling in on my territory again.
00:23:40You know how long ago I was promised that job?
00:23:42How long?
00:23:43Six months, 180 days.
00:23:44What are you going to do about it?
00:23:45It ain't going to be pleasant to watch.
00:23:47Give me the crown, champ.
00:23:49Stoney, Skinny, take this back to Joe DiPetro.
00:23:51Right.
00:23:56Thanks very much. Come back again.
00:24:01Hiya, fellas. What's cooking?
00:24:03Still crawling in front of me, huh?
00:24:05Last night, you fixed it so I can't make the fight.
00:24:07Now you take the job that I was supposed to have.
00:24:09Not in a million years, McGinnis.
00:24:11Your memory must be depreciating, Gendix. You promised me this job.

00:48:18weeks ago I'm joining the army with your consent for that kind of fighting Danny always I'm proud
00:48:28to have you go I wonder what Ivy will think do you mean to say that Danny stood there and did
00:48:39nothing about it mugs might be a bully and all that but Danny doesn't even stand up for his own
00:48:45rights well it seems to me that if Danny had a little of what mugs has and vice versa you'd have
00:48:51something you're still like Danny anyway don't you honey
00:49:11RQ o P L Y Z don't tell me you want to go to work like just give myself an eye test
00:49:20and what happened to Danny you fire him Danny quit quit what'd he do let failure go to his head
00:49:25he had a special reason of his own I don't think you boys are going to see him around so much okay
00:49:31I'll play straight tell me Danny's joined a new gang no gang bring my round I'll rip their heads
00:49:36again I'll make a bonfire out of but this gang is really tough that's different gang mugs ain't

00:51:46first ten amendments called that asked me another question the books full of them ain't it if you
00:51:54don't know that is no use of going any further the first ten amendments are called the Bill of
00:51:59Rights did you ever read them not recently well the Bill of Rights simply means freedom and
00:52:06protection it has a lot of clauses but after all in all it's like the for freedom the president
00:52:13talks about those people must have kind of missed the boat on that set up huh oh but they will get
00:52:20those things pretty soon that's why our boys are journeying the army I mean all those fellas used
00:52:28to come in here and shoot pool and all those guys are to join the army they know all about
00:52:31this Bill of Rights and amendments maybe not but in their hearts they know like you mugs I saw your
00:52:40face when you read that paper I didn't have to tell you about the Bill of Rights Americans are
