The young man's father finds out, and tries to stop the whole thing. He proposes that the young man and the wrestler have a match, a fair fight, and if the young man wins he gets to keep sleeping with the wife. The young man wins against the wrestler, but it turns out that the wrestler flubbed the match as a favor to the young man, not knowing about the bet. The wrestler's wife is in on it, and begins to flirt with the boy's father too. Shenanigans ensue, and the wrestler finds out about the cheaters. When he knocks out the young man, his wife leaps back into his arms and the father drives away (almost without) his disgraced son. Written by Paula A. See less
