Performance: The Fortune Cookie

Billy Wilder's "The Fortune Cookie"
Adapted by Dan Rogers

Camera-man Harold "Harry" Hinkle is injured when football player  Luther "Boom Boom" Jackson of the Cleveland Browns runs into him during a home game at Municipal Stadium. Harry's injuries are minor, but his  conniving lawyer brother-in-law, William H. "Whiplash Willie" Gingrich, convinces him to pretend that his leg and hand have been partially paralyzed so that they can receive a huge indemnity from the insurance company.
