Abstract:

Jack Dempsey loses a boxing match and his championship. Reporters rush to his dressing room and ask his manager, Cap, for an interview. Jack does not want to speak with them and wonders if his career is over. He says he is backing a vaudeville show starring the daughter of Pop Campbell, who was Jack's trainer and who taught Jack everything he knows about boxing. Her boyfriend, Irving Gordon, who is putting on the show, is forced to close down rehearsals because of a lawsuit against him for plagiarizing someone else's material. Jack calls a fight promoter, who arranges a bout for him with a purse sufficient to keep the show going. Jack is being pummelled and Pop's daughter pleads with him to quit, but in the next round, he knocks out his opponent and regains his championship and also wins the love of Pop's daughter.
