The girl breaks off the engagement. Her father tries to prove the fortune-teller a fake, but through the aid of the hero most of the prophecies come true. The hero learns the truth, after he had paid a fighter to lay down in order to make the last prophecy come true. He puts the other fellow out of business and takes his place. Then follows one of the most laughable prize fights ever screened. It is a screaming burlesque, with each fellow laying down on the job and force the other fellow to knock him out, the hero tries to explain but the other fellow won't believe him. Finally the hero gets his opponent real mad and gets knocked out when he jumps out of the ring and kisses the other fellow's girl. After it is all over, of course he wins the girl who is convinced of her error. Written by Moving Picture World, November 22, 1924 See less
