He is surrounded by a gang of toughs, who treat him roughly until Pat Riley, a champion pugilist, comes to his aid. Pat gives Abie his card and invites him to his home. Abie joins a gymnasium and becomes a boxer, visits the Battery and gets revenge on his tormentors. Later there is a boxing entertainment at the Manhattan Athletic Club, the wind-up to be a 5-round go between Riley and another for championship honors. Tom Sharkey is the referee and master of ceremonies and it is the first appearance of the celebrated pugilist in moving pictures. Abie goes on in a preliminary and is bested in a ludicrous scene. Pat is whipped at the end of four rounds and his friends all desert him, save Abie. The years go by and Pat is reduced to poverty, while Abie prospers as a real estate dealer, having slightly changed his name. Pat is ill in bed and his family in reduced circumstances, and to make matters worse the wife is served with a writ of ejectment, the rent being in arrears. She is desperate and takes the paper to the real estate dealer and is recognized by Abie as his friend's wife. Abie accompanies her home and proves to be a ministering angel. He awakens Pat and they clasp hands in a happy reunion. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
