Plot
Alfred's father wants him to make a man of himself so sends him off on a hunting and fishing trip. He doesn't catch or shoot anything, but he does fall in love with a mountain girl. When her father and brothers laugh at this they are told that he is Alfred "Battling" Butler, the championship fighter. From there on the masquerade must be maintained.
Origins
The film is one of Keaton's instances where his source is based on a stage play. The play was actually called Battling Buttler, by Walter L. Rosemont and Ballard MacDonald, and starred Charlie Ruggles on Broadway. It initially ran from October 8, 1923 – July 5, 1924 playing first at the Selwyn Theatre before moving on April 21, 1924 to the Times Square Theatre. In total there were a whopping 313 performances, a very impressive run for an original play.
