OTR Comedies - Adventures of Maisie

The Adventures of Maisie  -   Killer Diller

After her latest employment fiasco Maisie is hopping a freight train back to the City. On a boxcar she meets a hobo who introduces himself as a gentleman and a poet -- one Henry Glendonnon Dillon.

Maisie recognizes Henry as a one-time carnival sideshow wrestler who used to to do an act challenging members of the crowd. Maisie sees an opportunity: Become his agent and introduce him (and herself) to the world of professional wrestling.

Fun script, albeit far-fetched, filled with characters who could easily be right out of a Damon Runyon story.

Featuring: Ann Sothern, Sheldon Leonard, Marvin Miller, Peter Leeds, Hans Conreid, Ted de Corsia

Original Air Date: October 4, 1951 on Mutual
