Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 23 July 1921, page ?] Snub, who is a cop, to save his lady friend from being evicted from her frankfurter stand, agrees to go into the ring against a big bully to win a $100 prize. By means of a donkey behind a curtain, the bully makes short work of several opponents. Snub, however, is an artful dodger. The girl, selling sandwiches, gets in front of a fan and puts pepper on them. This causes the bully to sneeze, and every time he does so, Snub lands a good blow. Finally Snub forces him against the canvas, and the donkey does the rest.
