But Lizzie decides to follow him. Hiram arrives in the city. While devouring the sights he sees Dora, the belle of the Palace Hotel dining room, out for a stroll. He follows her and soon sees her accosted by a bunch of toughs. Hiram attacks the bunch and puts them to rout. Jason White, a prize fight promoter, observes the work of Hiram. He immediately thinks he has found a "white hope" and takes Hiram under his charge. Lizzie, meanwhile, has arrived in the city, and, not finding Hiram, is wandering around. Passing the Palace Hotel, she sees a sign reading, "Waitress wanted," and decides to take the place. She is given the job. White and his protege arrive at the Palace Hotel in state. Dora has told all the girls about her valiant rescuer and there is a rush to glimpse him. The girls all fight to wait on him, and Lizzie, not interested, fails to see her lover. Later she is bringing in some soup when she gets a good view of him, and in her surprise drops the soup. Hiram passes her by without recognition, and poor Lizzie is demoted to dishwashing. White tries to get Hiram to limber up by practicing with one of the attendants, but Hiram says that when he fights he often gets very mad, and would hate to hurt anyone. He is allowed to have his own way and is made much over. Dora has made an appointment with him and allows him to kiss her. The right is scheduled for the next night and all the papers are full of the news. Lizzie reads of the fight and has hysterics for fear that her Hiram will be killed. The other girls give her the laugh. The fight is a big success, for Hiram's opponent, and White loses heavily on his protege. Hiram is knocked out in the first round and kicked out of the house. Next morning he is sore from the fight, and when he enters the dining room everyone gets up and leaves. The manager of the hotel presents him with his carpet bag, and when he protests both he and the bag are thrown out. He has hardly hit the ground when Lizzie and her bag come flying out, too. Lizzie sympathizes with him and he resolves home is the best place, after all, and together they happily return to Squash Center. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
