Overview
Brief Synopsis
Millionaire's son Duke wants to be a champion boxer but takes time out to enroll in college when he sees co-ed Susie. The students wonder about his having a chauffeur and house full of servants. Susie likes him but, to get rid of her, his manager tells her Duke already has a New York chorus girl. As the students listen to a radio broadcast of his victorious fight from San Francisco, she learns that the student Duke is the boxer Duke and that there is no chorus girl.

Synopsis

Duke, the pampered son of a millionaire, decides to prove to his father that he can be a success on his own and takes up prizefighting. On his way to an important match, he sees Susie on a train with a group of college youths and falls in love, deciding to return to college. Although he is determined to compel her to accept him, she consistently refuses his attentions. When at length he wins her admiration, he is obliged to forego a meeting with her so as to fill a Decoration Day fighting engagement in San Francisco. She believes there is an ulterior motive in his absence, but hearing the fight on the radio, she realizes her mistake.
