Reilly (Roscoe Karms), a newspaper man out of a job. Reilly accompanies Mabel to her apartment, where he meets her aunt, Mimi (Ruth Donnelly), a one-time actress. Reilly voices dismay that. Mabel knows nothing of the theatre, declaring he is a close friend of Jake Sherman (Walter Catlett), a noted producer, and could get her a job. Aunt Mimi ealls his bluff by telling him she has taught Mabel to dance. The fourflushing Reilly is forced to take Mabel to Sherman’s office. He sees Ronny Cauldwell (David Carlyle), the male star of Sherman’s forthcoming production. Thinking Cauldwell is Sherman, Reilly introduces Mabel. Cauldwell in fun, tells them to meet him at the theatre next day. When Mabel and Reilly reach the theatre next day Toddy Williams (Pert Kelton), the leading lady, is just in the act of walking out. Mabel gets a tryout and amazes everyone with her ability. Several weeks later Larry Cain (Clark Gable), a boxer challenging for the heavyweight title, reaches New York with his manager, Pop Walters (William Collier, Sr.). On the eve of the fight they take a room at the hotel where Mabel and Mimi have an apartment. Mabel’s room is directly over Cain’s. That night she rehearses her dance. Cain is unable to sleep because of the noise and goes upstairs to protest. Mabel slams the door in his face, cutting him over the eye. Cain is kept awake most of the night. Nervous from loss of sleep, he loses the fight. Mabel and Ronny open in a musical comedy, but the show does not succeed immediately. Reilly decides it is because Mabel has no glamour.

Although the two hate each other, he persuades them to pretend they are sweethearts to get the publicity. For weeks they smile in public and bicker in private. Then, one week before Cain’s fight with Tom Reed, (Allen Pomeroy), in defense of his crown, they discover they really are in love. Larry confesses that he hates the fight racket and Mabel admits she doesn’t like the theatre. They decide to elope and to quit their professions after the fight. Cain tells Mabel he intends to buy a garage with his winnings. Reilly overhears the conversation and plants the story of the elopement. Both Cain and Mabel believe the other has given out the story, they both promised to keep secret. Cain — leaves for Philadelphia, scene of the fight, without saying goodbye and Mabel, enraged at what she considers a cheap bid for publicity by Cain, announces her engagement to Ronny Cauldwell. The night of the fight, however, Aunt Mimi confesses to Mabel that Reilly was responsible for the elopement story. Mabel quits the show and boards an airplane for Philadelphia. She reaches the fight arena and, pushing her way to the ringside, calls to Cain, who is giving Reed a licking. He turns at the sound of her voice and his opponent knocks him out. Mabel climbs into the ring and the two embrace. Cain confesses, however, that he has lost everything on the fight. ‘“Nevermind,’’ Mabel tells him. ‘“‘T was so mad at you I bet everything I had on Reed. I won enough to buy our garage.”’ At this moment Reed approaches and accuses Cain of lying down. Mabel hurls the contents of a water bucket at him and he starts for her. Cain steps between them and drops Reed with a right to the chin. Page Page Three
