The struggling Diltz family of farmers decide to set up their own wrestling company as a way to generate money. The father of the family (Joe Keaton) gets his son Jim (Buster Keaton) to help him train his brother Elmer (Robinson) up to be the best wrestler he can be. They hold an open challenge at their first event for anyone to step up and face Dewey, which is answered by established wrestler Bullfrog Kraus (Montana). Before the match, the father appoints Jim as the referee to ensure that Elmer is not seriously hurt. Kraus dominates the fight and hits Jim and his mother (Myra Keaton) out of spite. This makes Elmer angry who is able to make a comeback and sends Kraus crashing through the ring to win the match.
