Charley is trying to hold onto a job for a collection agency. He has arrived at his office late and is fired. Drawing on a very fertile imagination, he tells the boss a thrilling story, which we see on the screen, of how he had saved the boss' daughter from a band of Indians. That is why he was late. Great; the story goes over until the girl comes in to disclaim any knowledge of the whole episode. One more opportunity to hold the job is given Charley. He must collect a payment on a diamond ring or retrieve the ring. A strong man holds the bauble. Accompanied by the girl, this modern David goes forth to meet the 1926 Goliath. The first three rounds go to the title-holder but Kid David stages a comeback with the help of the girl.
