The old man has employed a gardener whose duty it is to see that the fair product of the family shall not even saunter outside of the grounds near the house. But while the gardener is busy pruning trees or flipping the grass, the daughter makes her way to the hedge about the place and there she meets Jerry. The gardener sees him and quickly transmits the incident to his master. They pounce upon Jerry and the girl and during the mix-up Jerry manages to get away with the daughter. The two find shelter on a bench under a tree but just as they are getting interested in each other along comes Hank, "the terrible Swede," who is a terrible pugilist. Hank has a naughty eye which keeps winking at the girl and when Jerry suddenly gets wise he picks a fight with the Swede. Luckily Jerry is aided by a few handy rocks and an iron bar and he makes the elongated one look foolish. As Hank, the Swede, recovers from the sting of defeat at the hands of this sawed-off being, Jerry makes a hasty exit. Jerry's sprint carries him to the town hall and he arrives in time to see a poster on a fence announcing the debut of "The Terrible Swede," who will meet all comers in the squared arena. Jerry suddenly decides to contest for the. honors. The night of the event finds him at the ringside and the manager of the Swede announces that all comers are welcome to try their brain and brawn against the clever boxer. The silence is broken by Jerry's shout, "I'll take 'em on." Jerry is wildly applauded by the fans and two seconds tog him out in fighting attire. When the Swede enters, he recognizes Jerry as the one who had done him up not many hours previous and he wants to rip him to bits without any ceremony. But Jerry makes a hasty exit to the dressing room. There he spies some weights which are used on the weighing machine and he stuffs his gloves to the fullest extent. Jerry returns to the ring. The gong sounds and they go to it. The Swede has Jerry at his mercy, holding him off with one of his long arms while he pelts him at will with the other. Finally exhausted, Jerry drops and while he is recovering the "champ" is busily engaged bowing here and there to his admirers. Jerry sees his chance and he lands with both hands on the Swede's "dome" knocking him insensible and the count of ten proclaims Jerry victor. He is handed his bag of gold and is having a fine time counting it when the police break in. Everyone escapes excepting Jerry and his victim and they are arrested. At the police station Jerry attempts to explain but there is no way out of it. The sergeant takes Jerry's money and is about to place him in a cell when an alarm comes in and the big bell starts to ring. It acts as a tonic on the Swede, who comes to and believing it to be the bell at the ringside he wades in among the cops and puts them all in the land of dreams, with Jerry's assistance. When all are unconscious, Jerry grabs his money and he and the Swede run off to have a good time on the spoils. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
