D: Mack Sennett
Roscoe Arbuckle, Charles Chaplin, Minta Durfee,
Charles Avery, Charley Chase, Edward F. Cline,
Billy Gilbert, Edgar Kennedy, Hank Mann
Arbuckle ends up in a prize fight in this Keystone short. A young Charlie Chaplin plays the referee. Interesting bits: Arbuckle breaking down the fourth wall when the camera's about to catch him removing his trousers, and Minta Durfee (Mrs. Arbuckle) in drag.
