Circus, the manager of boxer Kid Reagan, has an idea: to make him more popular with an educated milieu, he wants him to write poetry. But that's not his thing. No matter. Circus then enlists the services of an ex-journalist to write the poems that his protégé will simply sign. And to make the boxer even more popular, he recruits two vaudeville actresses, a mother and a daughter, to play the roles of his pseudo kind mother and his alleged tender lover.—Guy Bellinger
