Paul, a prizefighter completely without funds and in arrears, is saved from having his personal effects seized for rent by the landlady, by the timely arrival of his manager with a contract for a bout that night.
He is to receive $100.00 "win, lose or draw," but he does not know until he is in the ring that his opponent is "Gun Boat" Williams, the world's champion. Things go badly for Paul until by lucky chance he knocks out the champ and, as he believes, becomes the new champion. On learning that the fight was not sanctioned by the Commission and that he is still a third-rater, he thrashes the real champion and both managers.
The unusual setting for the bout, a fashionable home, does not relieve this shriekingly funny picture of its ringside atmosphere. 21 min.

He does — in a very amusing way.
