Reed Howes, famed throughout the world because of a number of independent productions in which he was starred, is seen as Joe Hennessey, Clara’s sweetheart and aspirant for the middleweight championship. Reed becomes annoyed as soon as his girl shows signs of interest in Douglas Gilmore, a wealthy rounder who refuses to press charges when his stolen property is found in Clara’s possession. In fact, his state of mind become such, that while studying a book of etiquette so that he’ll be able to compete with Gilmore on even ground, he forgets to train for a big bout. But Arthur Housman, his trainer, advises him to drop the mental culture and try out some physical culture. So—Reed starts using “strong arm” methods and the fun bebins! “Rough House Rosie” was directed by Frank Strayer. Doris Hill is . the fourth featured member of the cast.
