The Pardon My Glove Phenomenon

As William Beaudine's most celebrated work, it defines to create a dialogue between the viewer and the unique vision.

Jimmie Carter finds it hard to study, since it takes so much time from his athletic training. Finally, the faculty decide that the school can do without Jimmie and his father, having read of said son's ability to bout, writes that he needn't come home. But Jimmie's reputation as a fighter has come to the attention of a professional manager, one with a daughter. This man's idea of staging a bout is to employ one man on whom he can depend to lose, so he offers Jimmie the job. The second reel is devoted to the fight, when Jimmie finds that his own father is among the spectators, besides the pretty daughter of his manager, he decides it is up to him to win, regardless of any arrangement.
