Buster Keaton, der Boxer: Directed by Buster Keaton. With Buster Keaton, Snitz Edwards, Sally O’Neil, Walter James. A love-struck weakling must pretend to be boxer in order to gain respect from the family of the girl he loves.

“A nice little comedy about a wealthy young man with nothing to do. He finds himself taking a trip into the mountain country to put some adventure into his life. It is here where he meets a young Mountain girl played by actress Sally Ou0026#39;Neil. Soon, Keaton and Ou0026#39;Neil fall in love and want to marry. The problem is Ou0026#39;Neilu0026#39;s father and brother are giant of men and wonu0026#39;t allow her to marry such a small man. It is Keatonu0026#39;s butler / servant who gets the idea to lie to her parents by telling them that Keaton is a professional boxer (who happens to have the same name as Keatonu0026#39;s character (Butler). One lie leads to another as Keaton as to pretend he is a boxer. A nice story with some moments of comedy, Battling Butler is a Keaton comedy with very little stunt work from Buster Keaton. Besides the moments spent in the ring, Keaton hardly does any stunts. Most of the comedy comes from Keatonu0026#39;s silent comedy as oppose to his physical (stunt) comedy.”
