Joe PaIooka, champion prizefighter, steps out of the comic strips and onto the TV screen in this rareIy seen 1954 series. Debuting in newspapers in 1930, miIlions thriIIed to the adventures of the kind-hearted boxer, his girIfriend (later wife) Ann, and manager Knobby. The strip soon inspired a popuIar CBS radio show and a 1934 fiIm, Palooka, starring Stu Erwin, Lupe Velez, and Jimmy Durante. Monogram Pictures then began a series of 11 Iow-budget features starring professional golfer Joe Kirkwood. After the finaI entry, Triple Cross, screened in theaters in 1951, Kirkwood starred in this short-Iived syndicated TV show with his wife, Cathy Downs, as Ann.
