As the blacksmith shop is filled with hot irons, heavy hammers and hard anvils, every time "Poodles" makes an error, somebody is due to get hurt. And it is usually Glen, the husky blacksmith, who is on the receiving end. Lucille, daughter of the village's rich man, is in love with "Poodles." She has a tough time trying to convince father and mother that "Poodles" is all right, for one of "Poodles'" mistakes result in father getting under a falling bale of hay. And when "Poodles" tries to help mother on her horse and throws her over it, he also drops in her estimation. The blacksmith is also a prize fighter and has issued a challenge to a finish fight with Slaughter-House Slattery. Slattery arrives in town and hunts up the blacksmith. When Glen sees Slattery his feet get so cold that his grandmother suffers from chilblains. Glen refuses to fight Slattery, pleading that he is sick. Lucille conceives the bright idea of having "Poodles" substitute for the battling blacksmith. "Poodles" refuses, but when Lucille's father tells him that he has bet all of his money against Slattery, "Poodles" agrees to battle his tough opponent. "Poodles" knows nothing about fighting but he is bright enough to wear a suit of armor into the ring and it almost wrecks Slattery's hands before the fighter discovers the deception. Then "Poodles" is in for a tough evening and it gets tougher as the battle goes along. But "Poodles" wins the fight through strategy and by knocking Slattery through the roof. Lucille and "Poodles" are very happy for Dad has saved his money. Dad gives his consent to the match. Written by Press Sheet from Library of Congress See less
