    Short summary describing this issue.

    Too Funny For Words last edited by mshirley27 on 01/06/23 03:18PM View full history

    1966 finds Sam as stand-up comedian Manny Todd. Todd saw legendary comedian Lenny Bruce perform and was inspired. Todd has been arrested for indecency. He is being harassed by the police and intimidated by the judge he faced for indecency. This is at the time when The Miranda Act was passed, requiring police to advise people of their rights at the time of arrest. If the Miranda Rights are not read at arrest, then the arrest is invalidated.

    Todd is managed by his girlfriend, cocktail waitress Diane. He's also teamed-up with legendary silent film star, Billy Krasden.

    Ziggy calculates that Sam has to save Billy from dying in a fire.
