Description:

Harold Lloyd as timid milkman Burleigh Sullivan becomes involved in a brawl which ends up with Speed McFarland, the world middleweight champion, being knocked out cold and winning the bout. Of course Harold never really threw a punch; he merely ducked to get out of the way of a punch which brought the champ down. McFarland's boss, the crooked Gabby Sloan (Adolphe Menjou), decides to promote Sullivan in a series of fixed fights that will culminate in him being knocked out in a real fight with McFarland. Against all the odds, Sullivan triumphs and becomes world champion. Interesting fact: This is a good example of the popular screwball comedy genre of the time, and critically Harold Lloyd's most successful talkie.
