Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[2] Damon Squires, aspiring lightweight boxer, broke while visiting a small town, resents an insult made to Sally O'Leary by a chap whom he knocks down. The latter turns out to be champion boxer Cyclone Winters. A boxing match is arranged with him, but Damon is doped by a bribed trainer and loses the fight. Sally, whose father runs a restaurant, still believes in Damon. Damon obtains proof that he had been double-crossed. In a second match he knocks Winters out, winning the championship and the affection of Sally.
