Episode Overview
Boxer Kid Dynamite has put up a challenge, offering $100 to anyone who can last three rounds with him in the ring. Uncle Joe is on the lookout for a fighter to train while keeping a chunk of the prize money for himself. He believes he’s found the perfect candidate in Herman Crawley, a strong yet dim-witted plumber hired by Kate. Joe constructs a makeshift boxing ring at the hotel for training, much to Kate's dismay. Confident in Herman's chances, Joe wagers $500 against Mrs. Hogan, Kid Dynamite's assertive manager. Unbeknownst to Joe, Herman has a significant vulnerability. He must shield Herman's weakness while seeking out Kid's. Despite Herman's victory, the earnings fall short of expectations.
