...could lick the champion. James Gleason, here a cocky misogynist, is his manager. When the manager goes away, Actor Ray puts on a pink shirt, yellow gloves, a cane, and spats, marries. Instead of taking on the champion, he takes on expenses and a gambling brother-in-law. At last, for quick money he fights the champion with a broken hand, and is, of course, beaten up.
