Scrap Iron

1921 · 1h 10m · Drama

"Not all drama, not all comedy, not all fight, but a stirring blend of all three with punch that's dramatic and fistic. Another big Ray Sun-ray! Some Surprise!"

John Steel is a poor boy with a gentle spirit, but he has a natural gift for fighting. His mother is a strict pacifist, so although he has opportunities to make a career as a boxer, he refuses--until hard times force him to enter the ring despite his mother's pleas.
