HISTORY
Mike Short owns and operates Mike Short’s Gymnasium, where pugilists train at the art of boxing. Ty-Gor leaves the home of Dr. Davis and his daughter Joan to get some exercise. While running across rooftops, he falls through the skylight of Mike’s gym.
In need of a boxer for a show that night, Mr. Short has Ty-Gor try to spar with a boxer called Killer. When the jungle boy shows he is capable, he is put in the ring against Tony Pimento. Joan and Dr. Davis hear the broadcasted fight and go to retrieve Ty-Gor. Distracted from the sport that he doesn’t understand, Ty-Gor is struck by Tony Pimento. The jungle boy knocks out the larger boxer. Later, he goes to the zoo where Malma is kept in a cage. He stays with the tiger for the night.
