Synopsis for The Jester: "Doctor Synapse, Psychoanalyst"
Over-the-hill boxer Bruiser Bilson tries to get back into the fight game, starting with his old rival McGinty. A crook posing as a psychiatrist offers to train him so they can rig the bets on his comeback bout. After the Jester interferes, he introduces Bilson to a legit psychiatrist who convinces Bilson at his age it'd be much safer, and not undignified, to get work in another field.
