He is very cranky and very gouty. Henry Hawkins, a young coster, and Bill Brown, a teacher of boxing, and an ex-pugilist, are both in love with Liza. Old Clayton favors Bill, because he is well off. Liza likes Henry, and they meet down near the old church and do their love-making. Bill lays siege to Liza, offering her presents, which she refuses. At last he offers to take her to a music hall and she yields and goes with him. There they are seen by Hawkins, who becomes furiously jealous and upbraids Liza. She loses her temper and claims the right to do as she likes. Henry on this swears he will fight Bill, and Liza tells him not to be a fool, that Bill could lick him with one hand, and they part in anger. Hawkins meets Bill and challenges him. The result is a foregone conclusion. Poor Hawkins is knocked out and laid up in bed for repairs, tended by his landlady. Mrs. Moggs. Bill goes to the Claytons' and boasts of his triumph, wherewith Liza, blaming herself for what has happened, slaps his face, gives him her opinion of his conduct, and tells him and her father that she is going at once to the injured Hawkins. She does so and begs his pardon, professing her love. Mrs. Moggs looks after her for a couple of days, and then she and Hawkins are married. Old Clayton tries to get on without his daughter with the help of Bill, but they quarrel and he turns the pugilist out. He sends for Liza and her husband to come back to him and make his declining years happy. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
