Battling Butler

A love-struck weakling must pretend to be boxer in order to gain respect from the family of the girl he loves. Alfred's father wants him to make of a man of himself so sends him off on a hunting and fishing trip. He doesn't catch or shoot anything, but he does fall in love with a mountain girl. When her father and brothers laugh at this they are informed that he is Alfred "Battling" Butler, the championship fighter. From there on the masquerade must be maintained. —Ed Stephan <stephan@cc.wwu.edu>
