Famous society hostess Elsa Maxwell starred in this short subject, The Lady And The Lug in which America's most famous party giver goes into the highly esoteric field of prize fight manager.
Her nephew and reporter future TV Superman George Reeves wins Slapsie Maxie Rosenbloom's contract in a poker game. Rosenbloom who was the light heavyweight champion for a number of years in the early Thirties was now playing fighters for a living and other amiable, but not too bright pugs on the screen.
Elsa is looking for a gimmick for a charity event and Reeves gives her the bright idea to sponsor a prize fight. Maxie goes into training and Elsa right along with him.
The fight itself goes down as one of the classic boxing spoofs of the screen right up there with Harold Lloyd's The Milk Way and Abbott&Costello Meet The Invisible Man. The Lady And The Lug is a good short subject comedy from Warner Brothers and gives us one of Elsa Maxwell's few big screen appearances.
