William Russell is a prizefighter with a manager for a brother, a mother in a wheelchair, and Mickey Bennett for an admiring son or nephew. Julanne Johnson has a low opinion of fisticuffs until he saves her from her runaway horse. He's scheduled to meet Frank Hagney for a chance to fight the champion; but Hagney's team gets hold of young Bennett and tells Russell that unless he throws the fight, the kid gets it.
It's the last of 28 movies that Jules Furthman wrote for Russell, and it's a minor one. Russell's star was in the decline and he would die in 1929 at the age of 44, while Furthman would live a long time and help write such classics as MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY and TO HAVE AND TO HAVE NOT. At 44 minutes, this is not a major movie, even if John Adolfi directed it, and Alison Skipworth shows up briefly as a social worker.
