Synopsis by Hal Erickson

George Brenlin is cast as Whizzer McGee, a short-statured scrapper who doesn't take kindly to people making fun of his size. As a result, Whizzer loses job after job, usually by pummeling his latest employer into unconsciousness. It appears that Whizzer's fortunes will improve when he is befriended by Hoss Cartwright; instead, the troubles are just beginning. Other cast members include Jeanne Bal (Melissa), Med Flory (Otis), Burt Mustin (Washburn), Hal Baylor (Big Red), Mike Ragan (Mike), and Bern Hoffman (Bartender). Scripted by Robert Lyon Welch, "The Saga of Whizzer McGee" was originally shown on April 28, 1963.
