Written by Andrew Schneider; Produced by Robert Bennett Steinhauer, Karen Harris, Jill Sherman
Directed by Barry Crane
David arrives in Baltimore and helps out a midget being mugged in an alleyway... The little guy, who seems to have three names, is mixed up with some criminals whilst making a living as a wrestler. He takes David in for a few days, at the same time getting him into trouble with the aforementioned gangsters.
Probably the nadir of the entire Incredible Hulk run, the whole far-fetched debacle is difficult to watch - the bad guys are the worst type of generic stereotypes (whose conversation consists largely of what to eat next), the alleyway mugging is a bit of a joke, and when David attends a party full of small people dancing and the like, it teeters over into parody. Hulk's appearances are obviously also contrived in an episode that may desperately attempt to tackle the difficulties faced by those who are 'different' from what is considered to be the norm, but can't quite do anything skillfully enough to give it any substance.
