The Munsters: Herman the Great (1964) (TV)

Synopsis [spoilers]: Herman is worried that he will not have enough money to send Eddie to the university, so he takes a night job as a wrestler; it was offered to him by the father of one of Eddie's friends: he was impressed with Herman being able to tie a knot on an iron bar.The only person in his house who knows the nature of his job is Grandpa. Initially he loses all fights because his adversaries tell him sad stories about their lives which make him feel pity for them. On the day when he must fight an amateur from the audience he is drugged and his adversary is in reality a professional; this time he wins, thanks to Grandpa's intervention. He also prevents the people in the audience from dying in the fire that started on the gym: they are so scared when he takes off his mask that they leave immediately.

Saw it dubbed in Portuguese.
