Actress Nancy Lee, who was his boyhood sweetheart, persuades her wealthy lover Wade Turner to let George use his California ranch to rehabilitate and train. Turner does so but notifies his foreman to hinder George from getting into fighting shape. George, however, rounds back into shape under the care of and training by James J. Jeffries.
