El ídolo de barro

La historia

Midge Kelly y su hermano se dirigen a California. En la carretera, los recoge el boxeador Johnny Dunne que anima a Midge a participar en una velada de boxeo, en la que recibe una gran paliza. Sin embargo, el mánager Tommy Haley, que presiente que tiene talento, le hace una oferta, pero Midge la rechaza. Los dos hermanos encuentran trabajo en un café regentado por Lew Bryce y su hija Emma. Cuando Midge y la chica se hacen novios, el padre de ella los obliga a casarse. Después de la boda, Midge recurre a Haley y llega a ser un aceptable boxeador, aunque excesivamente violento. Finalmente, decide abandonar a su mánager y empieza a pelear para unos gángsters.
