Comment
A bumbling milkman (Harold Lloyd) gets into a fight with a boxer (Adolphe Menjou) defending his sister's (Helen Mack) honour. The boxer accidentally gets knock out and he is then drawn into becoming a boxer in rigged fights. This is Harold Lloyd with his usual array of physical comedy, though in one of his rarer sound films. The fun part of the film is the performance of Verree Teasdale who enjoys herself as the girl friend of the crooked boxing promoter (Adolphe Menjou) to whom she was married.
