As described in a
film magazine,[3]
prize fighter Johnny Duffey (Lytell) falls in love with a young society woman Constance Talbot (Valli). When he breaks his right hand in a bout and is forced to rest for three months, Johnny goes to the fashionable resort Craigmoor to be near Constance. One of his hero-worshipers, a chauffeur, becomes his valet and tutor in correct social etiquette. Constances father (Harlan) recognizes Johnny but keeps his secret until Johnny whips Roy Van Twiller (McCullough), a cad who was attempting to expose him. Constance learns Johnny's true profession, and they obtain her parents’ approval for their marriage.
