He gets his scheme in good working order and then sells out to Horace Gink, who has literary aspirations. Colonel Gore, a politician; Luke McGuke, a middle weight fighter, and Josephine Boggs, a boarding house-keeper, do not approve of the roasting process, and they take turns mopping up the place with the new editor, the victim of their revenge. Luke McGuke gets into a street fight. The officer puts handcuffs on him but he breaks away and runs into the editor's office for safety. Gink, seeing the bully's helpless condition, proceeds to walk all over him and when the officer arrives he finds Luke very limp and harmless. The report is circulated that the new editor has conquered the notorious bully and the delinquents hustle into the office to settle their debts. The bully gets out on bail and also settles his bill, leaving the new editor in dumb surprise at his sudden prosperity. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
