It's not a bad idea.
Let's see.
Frankie Stanton left the ring tastefully
wearing black under both eyes.
You'd feel pretty bad if Bill Steele
forgot to duck, wouldn't you?
Ah, but you don't have to duck
when you're doing the swinging.
- Well, here's my good-luck Penny. Hiya, baby.
- Is everything all right, Bill?
- Sure. I feel great, honey.
- I used to like the fights until
I fell in love like a sap.
- Now every punch you take hurts me
more than it does you.
- Oooh!
Forget it, honey.
I can take care of Stanton.
I just heard Nick Crowder's bettin' Stanton
won't answer the bell for the fifth round.
- Who told you about that bet?
- Only a dozen guys.
- You and Crowder ain't
teaming up on my boy, are you?
- I don't play that way.
That's why I quit your stable.
Let me see your hands.
Here he comes now.
Give us a statement, Gerry.
- How's Stanton feelin'?
- How's his bad eye?
Stanton's eye's okay.
You can say that my boy expects to win.
And if he loses, we've got no alibis.
The boys are saying
that Nick's betting against me.
- Somebody's ribbing you, kid.
- Yeah? What makes you so sure?
Nick's no sucker. He's not gonna
go against a natural like you.
They're just trying to get your goat. Forget it
and go out and show 'em what you've got.
I'm gonna kill that guy Steele.
But first I'm gonna mess him up...
so that newspaper sweetie
of his won't recognize him.
- That-a-kid.
- I'll flatten that bozo.
- He's out!
- Hello, Mr. Benton.
- Hello, Riggs.
Hey, Benton, who do you like?
Well, I like Stanton. But it would hurt
Linda's feelings if I bet against Steele.
- I'm satisfied with Stanton.
How much do you want?
- Oh, five dollars.
- Come on. Make it 10.
- That's plunging for me, but, well, you've got a bet.
Okay. He's president of the corporation
that owns this joint.
- Oh, so?
- He's got more dollars than I got fingerprints.
But he never bets more
than a few bucks.
One reason possibly
why he remains rich.
Gosh, that's a pretty girl
sitting with your friend.
That's his daughter, Linda.
She's got her nose so high in the air...
she'd drown in a rainstorm.
Show him that left.
- I'll be rooting for you, Bill.
- Thanks, Linda. Hello, Mr. Benton.
- Good luck, Bill. I've got $10 on you.
- You're a cinch.
And here's Bill Steele coming into the ring
with his manager, Tom McGuire.
Moving to the rosin box.
Good evening, Miss Benton.
I suppose you're betting on Bill Steele.
Well, naturally.
By the way...
I see you're making him
your special assignment.
My permanent one, I hope.
They ought to match those two dames
and let 'em fight it out.
Quite an interesting commentary
on our present civilization.
