Charlie is sharing his last sausage with his dog Spike, when he sees an advertisement for sparring partners. Charlie dismisses the idea but changes his mind when he finds a lucky horseshoe, which he puts in his glove. Having knocked out the competition he starts to train, inspired by the presence of the lovely Edna. A villain tries repeatedly to bribe him to throw the fight but Charlie refuses. On the night of the big fight, Charlie is forced into evasive action, running round and round to avoid the Champ. Spike comes to his master's aid and clamps his jaws tight onto the Champ's behind while Charlie delivers the knockout blow. For once, Charlie gets the girl. (official distributor synopsis)
