The stories are numerous about what tough guys the Chimp duo of Mickey and Minnie were. Beatty owned the chimps but animal man Albert Fleet handled them and worked them in the show. I nwas said that with one swipe Mickey pulled down Colleanos wire rigging all tigjhtly guyed out. Fleet had some missing fingers due to chimp fights. Seems lije Fleet was as tough as the chimps. johnny
