The Man Tamer

• Watchlist

Hot-headed Tommy Ryan agrees to give up his brawling ways if his cute girlfriend, Martha Murray, will marry him. After arriving in town, Tommy approaches his cousin and primary combatant, Steve Quinlan and offers to let bygones be bygones. Instead Steve accuses Tommy of hiding behind his fiancée's apron strings and provokes a brawl. Released from jail on the condition that he marry Martha immediately, he meets Steve outside of town and gets knocked down an embankment, temporarily losing his memory. A love-starved widow rescues him from the gully and, remembering only that he has to get married that day, agrees to wed the old woman.
