In addition, Wolfson's firm must now invest an estimated $8 million to $10 million in a graving dock just to begin building the sea giant...
...story of these three winds forward from the brute's purchase of the heroine from her mother for a few thousand lire. With his frightened purchase he takes to the road on a tumble-down trailer built onto a motorcycle, and is soon teaching the girl a few simple tricks--blowing a horn or dancing a few steps--with which to decorate his act.
