The Prince of Broadway (1926)

George Burke, heavyweight boxing champion of the world, is called "The Prince of Broadway" because he trains by drinking and dancing all night. After he is knocked out, his manager tears up his contract and tells him he is through. Actress Nancy Lee, his childhood sweetheart, rescues him from the gutter and sends him to the ranch owned by her admirer, Wade Turner. Wade, jealous of George, tells his foreman, Buck Marshall, to hinder George's comeback. Former champion and neighbor Jim Jeffries offers to help George get back into condition. Wade tells Nancy that George is not training, but she does not believe him. She goes out to the ranch and uncovers the conspiracy. George regains the championship and wins Nancy's hand.
