The Knockout
Directed by Mack Sennett
Produced by Keystone Film Company
A lighthearted silent-era slapstick comedy about a man trying to impress his girlfriend through a boxing match, built entirely on physical humor and comic chaos.
To show his girl how brave he is, Pug challenges the champion to a fight. Charlie referees, trying to avoid contact with the two monsters.
