Battling Torchy

Torchy's girl is fascinated by an East Side pug, who has rescued her. Johnny, to discredit his rival, goes to the Tenderloin in search of someone who will defeat the pugilist and allow him (Johnny) to take the credit. In the underworld, babies play with revolvers, and dogs eat iron chains from the fire hydrants. It is a tough place, and Johnny is just as tough. He finds a substitute, who is to fight as "the masked marvel," but he is injured at the last moment, and Johnny must fight himself. The two go at it in all realism, until Johnny manages to squirt some ether in his rival's face. The rest is easy.
