Fine Art of Boxing, The (No Stooge in the Ring)
While in Coalburg for an exhibition fight, the heavyweight champ kicks little Pete's dog Rex. Baggage clerk Joe Palooka confronts the champ but winds up on his back, and local haberdasher Knobby Walsh (Shemp) cooks up the idea to promote a grudge match between amateur Joe and the pro.
The first short in Vitaphone's "Joe Palooka" series.
