- Synopsis:
- Abracadabra! The Great Wooley and his lop-eared partner Harry Hare plan to dazzle audiences with magical feats during their USO tour of Japan and Korea. Harry Works for carrots. Struggling artist Wooley for peanuts. But he'll amply demonstrate his slight of hand and he won't slight on laughs, either - because he's played by renowned "King of Crazy", Jerry Lewis. In 'The Geisha Boy', Lewis combines his trademark antics with a compassionate central story: an orphaned Japanese boy is drawn out of his shell by the magician's humor and caring. The film also features the Los Angeles Dodgers and Suzanne Pleshette's screen debut
