Here, thinks Joe, the Kid will go right on training and I can enjoy myself without worrying about his getting mixed up with some vamp. His joy is short lived, however, as a female puts in an appearance by falling in the swimming pool. Of course the Kid saves her, and of course the girl is duly grateful. Later Joe finds her in tears and on inquiring the cause learns that the poor thing is distraught because she cannot decide whether she loves the Kid or a big burly brute who is with her and supposed to be her fiancé. Joe tries to comfort her and promises to pay her expenses back to her home in Buenos Ayres. The big brute finds him with the girl and promptly proceeds to administer a beating for butting in on his girl. The Kid sees the rumpus and is for giving the burly fellow a trimming on the spot. But their millionaire host happens along and persuades them to make a regular scrap of it and hold it in his swimming pool. In the water-ring they fight. The Kid getting the better of it at times and at times the worst. The millionaire has confidence in him and places huge sums on him to win. The tide rises slowly but surely and finally the participants are submerged to their necks. This makes matters quite difficult all through the fight, but finally the Kid knocks his opponent so hard that he goes down and for a long time no one can find him. He is found later, however, some distance from the ring. And in no other place than in the arms of the girl, who admits he is her husband, all of which causes the Kid and Joe to sink to the bottom of the pool.
