Synopsis: "The worst thing that can happen to a performing "midget" is that, around the age of thirty, he or she may suddenly start growing, sometimes by as much as twelve inches, effectively ending their professional career. Such was the case with snidey Jimmy Dawle, who, depressed and eaten up with jealousy for Theodore Robel, his still-small and employed brother-in-law, plays him a rotten trick. It ends badly for both parties." --"dem bones" in Vault of Evil forum
