Battling Butler (1926) starring Buster Keaton, Sally O’Neil, Francis McDonald

Synopsis

Buster Keaton remarked that Battling Butler was his favorite of all his films. Based on a Broadway play, the story revolves around a case of mistaken identity between two Alfred Butlers. One is an effete millionaire (Keaton), the other the heavyweight champion of the world (Francis McDonald).
