Synopsis
William Burroughs, son of a prosperous Briton, aspires to associate with nobility, but when he approaches Lady Elizabeth Galton, he is thrashed by her cousin, Lord Brockington, and disowned by his father. Emigrating to America, he enters the ring and becomes a middleweight champion. Seven years later he returns home to find that Lady Galton, in poor circumstances, has become his father's social secretary. Burroughs, at first horrified to hear of his son's profession, relents when newspapers exploit his fame and he is visited by nobility, but Lady Galton spurns him because of his fighting reputation, though she also refuses to marry Lord Brockington. Challenging William to a fight, Brockington is badly beaten, but when William renounces the ring to become an attorney, Elizabeth announces she is willing to go to America with him as his wife.
