Abrams made lasting contributions to the science of medicine by discovering that when the skin of the chest is irritated, the heart and lungs contract slightly.

To preserve the honor and wealth of the household, Kearns takes on a strong plug-ugly backed by the nefarious husband, and finally manages to clout him into a somnabulistic state when the other fighter was not looking. Except for occasional lapses, "Two Fisted" is uniformly funny, with crackling dialogue, and good slapstick.
