Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[2] middleweight boxing champion George Burke leads a convivial life and his careless living results in him being knocked out in a match. Actress Nancy Lee, who was his boyhood sweetheart, persuades her wealthy lover Wade Turner to let George use his California ranch to rehabilitate and train. Turner does so but notifies his foreman to hinder George from getting into fighting shape. George, however, rounds back into shape under the care of and training by James J. Jeffries. Wade and Nancy arrive, the former having told her that George is not making good with his time at the ranch. However, George is able to best the champion and wins the love of Nancy.
