      By the mid 1950's Louis' debt to the IRS had ballooned to a million dollars. He's got to make money without fighting. He's forced to gain money through the only thing that's left, and that is his name. Louis hocked everything from cigarettes to liquor, even his own stage show. But a naturally born salesman he wasn't.
