Transcript

The Damon Runyon Theatre. Once again, the Damon Runyon Theatre brings you another story by the master storyteller, Damon Runyon, and this one, Leopard Spots. And to tell it to you, here is Broadway. Thanks. Well, I am finally in good shape again after a very trying time in the city of Philadelphia, PA.

How I get into bad shape concerns by the McCoy, a prize fighter named Pig's Foot Grutty, and a citizen named Caswell Fish, who is not a prize fighter, but nevertheless, gets into the ring with a common champ. And how that happens, I will tell you in a minute.

And now back to the Damon Runyon Theatre and the famous story, Leopard Spots. I am sitting in Mindy's one night and I am joined by Spider-McCaught. Now Spider is a Fright-Fight Manager and also a good friend of mine. So when he joins me I am glad to see him.

And the scene is as fun. Hello Broadway. Hello Spider. What is this car? Well I ain't counted it up yet. But I see you are doing nothing, so I come over. I am glad you do.

Uh-huh. Say, how would you like to take a little run over to Philly, PA? Why? As you know, I am the manager of Pig's Foot, Rudy. Good old Pig's Foot. How are his eyes? Eyes?

Eyes? There was something wrong with his eyes? The last time I see him, they are giving him trouble from staring up at the bright lights over the ring. Oh, that. It is only temporary. Uh-huh.

Last only about 10 seconds. But what is this about Philly? I think maybe you would like to be Pig's Foot second there. Uh-huh. Who is he fighting? Chest and ubs. Chest and... Chest and ubs?
