Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Schmidt, the German “wrestling lion,” arrives in America, to meet America’s new “white hope” of the mat. Hack. They sign articles for the big match and both go in training. While Hack works conscientiously in his training quarters, Schmidt is over-confident and takes no training at all. The great bout takes place. Each wins a fall and it looks bad for Hack, until he resorts to a really novel scheme which puts the big German on his back.
