A prosperous-looking bull- necked individual sits down for a shave. Neely suddenly recognizes him. Holding the razor above him ominously, he forces the stranger to listen to this story of his past: Neely is a gentleman of leisure. Fate carries him to a tough section of the city where he hears a woman's scream and is impelled to go on reading the paper, so leisurely is Neely. But the frantic woman, who is being threatened by the same bruiser who now sits in the barber's chair, drags Neely into the affair and asks him to protect her. The bruiser chokes Neely and throws him over his head. He lands on a lever plank, at the short end of which is a manhole cover, which flies in the air and knocks the bully for a goal. The young hero takes the woman he has rescued and they triumphantly eat ice cream until the bull neck wakes up and chases them. They try to rush into a waiting patrol wagon for protection, but the cop refuses to let them in. Neely throws a brick through a window in front of the cop. He and the girl are arrested and thrust into the patrol wagon just in time to escape murder at the hands of the pursuer. Introducing the heroine, now his wife, the mother of a family, Neely thanks the bull neck and gives him a free shave. Written by Universal Weekly, January 29, 1927 See less
