Indolent and wealthy Alfred Butler, accompanied by
Martin, his valet, goes on a camping excursion in his Rolls-Royce
with all the accouterments of luxury. He meets Sally and gets
up enough ambition to propose marriage, but her husky father and
brother persuade him to withdraw his suit.
When Martin tells Sally's family that Alfred is
actually "Battling Butler," a championship boxer, Alfred is welcomed
as a prospective suitor and later is proclaimed a hero for
purportedly winning a fight. Then the real Butler appears with
his spouse; he decides to humiliate the imposter by having him fight
one "Alabama Murderer" and has him trained by his managers.
Alfred locks up his bride to keep her from seeing his
disgrace but finds that the real "Battling Butler" has already won
the fight. Then the boxer begins to fight with Alfred, who
finally summons his courage and beats the champion.
