Gegner nach Maß
1964
The scissors cut out a little man with huge boxing gloves from black paper. The boy comes to life and is immediately convinced of his punching power. So he grabs the scissors himself and cuts out a huge opponent to demonstrate his strength. He makes a complete fool of himself in the process. It doesn't help that he cuts his opponent smaller and smaller and finally even sticks him down with glue. Although he adorns himself with the laurels of victory at the end, it is clear that he is just a ridiculous paper hero.
