"It's amazing how these guys can get into more situations. This time they meet a prizefighter in a pool room. He has had two fights and two quick KO's. Of course, Ralph and Ed decide they can train this guy and get him some fights and soon will be on easy street. The problem is that the guy needs a place to stay and guess where he ends up! Anyway, it is moderately entertaining. It's fun to watch Norton showing off his pugilistic prowess...."
