On a walk they meet Duke Earlton, her fiancé, for whose company the girl dismisses Jerry. Stunned for the moment by her action, Jerry watches the chatting couple continue onward, then, recovering, he starts on a run after them. He attempts to induce the girl to desert her newfound escort, but that individual, becoming annoyed, pushes Jerry aside. Picking up two boulders Jerry starts after his enemy but before he can use them in the desired way, the Duke takes the initiative and Jerry is sent sprawling into the street. As he lays an automobile rushes over him. The occupant. Count O'Zowie, turns back. Finding Jerry unharmed he congratulates him on his fortunate escape, and gives him his card with an invitation to call. The card gives Jerry a happy idea. Armed with it he calls at the home of Dr. Gray, Miss Smith's uncle, whom she is visiting. Believing Miss Smith to be the doctor's daughter, he sends in his card for her. When he is ushered into the reception room he is dumbfounded at the sight before him. Instead of Miss Smith, he sees a girl weighing only about two hundred pounds and whose form of diversion is boxing. Without much ado she captures Jerry, takes him to the gym, and in a few seconds knocks him out. Jerry calls the Duke, who has just entered the house with Miss. Smith, and induces him to put on the gloves with the athletic girl, after putting horseshoes in the girl's gloves. Of course, one blow and the Duke is in dreamland. He then chloroforms Miss Gray and places her on a chair beside the Duke with her arms about the unconscious man's shoulders. He then calls Miss Smith to the gym. Seeing the Duke in such a compromising position with Miss Gray, Miss Smith breaks her engagement and at Jerry's insistent urging consents to elope. Meanwhile, the Duke has revived and. suspicious at Miss Smith's and Jerry's absence from the house, 'phones the police, who start in pursuit of the eloping couple. As they cross a shallow stream Jerry falls from the horse and the police, immediately in the rear, have no trouble in picking him up. Miss Smith continues on her ride, but Jerry is escorted away by the police. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
