Synopsis

Reared in the California mountains by his father, an ex-prizefighter, Pat Glendon shows great skill and strength but is terribly shy of women. When he finally enters competition in San Francisco, he achieves success and the title "The Abysmal Brute." One day he rescues a man from drowning, meets socialite Maude Sangster as a result, and falls in love with her at first sight. He keeps her in ignorance of his profession, and though Pat is handicapped by his lack of knowledge of social niceties, they see each other often. When Maude does learn of Pat's prizefighting she repudiates him, but Pat is persistent and finally wins her from his rival.
