In one of his many inexpensive boxing melodramas, Billy Sullivan (the nephew of legendary fight champ John L. Sullivan), played Jimmy O'Day, an amateur boxer who finances the purchase of oil-rich land by staging impromptu fights. In between these endeavors, Jimmy saves the father (William Malan) of his girlfriend (Charlotte Merriam) from a gang of unscrupulous confidence artists. The inexpensive Sullivan films were produced and often directed by Harry J. Brown, who also launched a similar series starring male model Reed Howes.(AMG) |
