synopsis
It's an sorry state of affairs for Mel (Vic Tayback) when he is mugged in the alley outside the diner by a little old lady (played by future Night Court regular Florence Halop). To save face, Mel tells the girls at the diner--and anyone else who will listen--that he was jumped by four muscular men, whom he valiantly fought off as they stole his dough. Ultimately, the truth is revealed, and Mel must somehow regain his macho.
