    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Storyline resembles the second half of Stampede (1957). In both the character portrayed by Garner persuades a genial animal-loving giant into fighting a professional in a boxing match only to wind up substituting for the reluctant giant in the ring. The primary difference between the two fights was that Garner, now more than a dozen years older, wore a nightshirt while boxing in this version.
