Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Hazel, a cashier in a restaurant, is engaged to Patsy, a bus driver. Patsy earns some extra money by going in on preliminary bouts at the Athletic Club pugilistic exhibitions, and gains a local reputation as a boxer. When a big fighter is suddenly taken ill on the eve of a public contest, Patsy substitutes, wins the match, and suddenly finds himself in line for a bout with the champion of the world. On receipt of an offer for a long tour, he gets a swelled head and repudiates Hazel, who is forced to go back to work in the restaurant. She plans to get even with Patsy. With her savings she hires a coming western fighter, who arrives in town, to clean up her faithless lover. This he does in great shape. When Patsy comes to, he sees Hazel and his victorious opponent strolling affectionately off together.
