The Fighting Playboy is a "Northern": a western plotline set in the Canadian woods. Nick Stuart plays the ne'er-do-well son of a wealthy man, who cuts Stuart off without a dime because the boy refuses to make something of himself. Thus, Stuart heads northward to prove his mettle. In short order (very short, inasmuch as the film is only 50 minutes long) Stuart makes a fortune and wins the girl (Lucille Browne). Filmed entirely on location, The Fighting Playboy was based on a short story by Alex Phillip. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
