Bigger! Boss,

he was bigger than Canary.

Yeah, yeah, with hands

as big as watermelons.

How did he wind his watch?

Speed looked like this

alongside of him.

I had to jump up in the air

to hit him.

Now, wait a minute,

wait a minute.

This is serious. A big guy, huh?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

"Middleweight knocked out

by heavyweight."

That's an angle.

Grab it, Spider.

Why, he outweighs Speed

fifty pounds.

Got a good right hand.

What'll I say?

Say hello.

They'll pick it up from there.

Hello?

Who?

He is?!

The truck driver,

Burleigh Sullivan...

is on his way up.

Let's all hide under the bed.

Now, be calm, everybody,

be calm.

Now, the big stiff

is on his way up.

The reporters

are downstairs... great.

We'll get a picture

of the two of you.

You know, like they do...

big, little guy?

Hey, the public

gets one look at you...

alongside of that big bruiser,

why, you'll even get sympathy.

You know what we can do,

don't you?

Why, say, we could take

that man-mountain and...

Well? What do you want?

L... I'm Burleigh Sullivan.

It's a lie.

Hands as big as

watermelons, huh?

Come in, Sullivan.

Hello there.

No, you don't.

Now I got him. Now I got him.

Go on, get the press.

Get the press.

I'll lay him out as flat

as a piece of linoleum.

Hit him over here

in the sunlight...

so the boys

can photograph the body.

Now, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Before you make

any more mistakes...

Wait a minute.

Are you sure

that you're the man...

that knocked out

our Mr. McFarland?

Uh, yes, ma'am.

Why, you dirty little worm!

Easy, easy! We got to

find out what happened...

before they get up here.

Now, start talking!

In the first place, you gotta

cut out all this rough stuff.

- All right, cut it out.

- That's better.

All right, get started.

Well... you've all

read the papers?

- We glanced through them.

- Rubbin' it in, huh?

There he goes again.

Shut up! All right, come on.

Now, I don't know how you folks

feel about all this...

but it's got me worried.

- You're looking well.

- Oh, thank you.

This thing was partly my fault.

All right if I sit down?

Yeah.

Now, I'll tell you

just how it started.

You see, I've never had

my name in the papers.

When I saw a chance

to get in the headlines...

whew! You don't know

what that did to me.

See, I lead

a very simple life.

I'll bet you do.

Hmm. At the dairy,

I'm only 120-pointer.

That's bad, huh?

Oh, it's awful.

And then, out of the clear sky,

this thing happened last night.

You know?

And as all those reporters

came running up to me...

I said, "Oh, boy!

Oh, boy! Oh, boy!"

And, heh, well,

I guess I was carried away.

Well, now we're
