Based on the Broadway play, the story revolves around a case of mistaken identity between two Alfred butlers - one a millionaire, the other a heavyweight champion of the world. Coincidence brings them to the same backwoods Kentucky neighbourhood, where Butler-the-fop finds love with a mountain girl, but not before antagonising Butler-the-Brute into a Madison Square Gardens grudge match.
