Out of love, a spoiled millionaire's son becomes an unwilling boxer. Although he receives a severe beating for his boasting, he ultimately proves victorious due to his ability to overcome himself. (filmdienst.de)
Despite a number of shortcomings in the dramaturgy of this theater adaptation, the film became Keaton's most successful silent film and, thanks to its complex message and wonderful gag sequences, is rightly considered one of Keaton's masterpieces. (filmdienst.de)
