Abysmal Brute

Pat Glendon is a young man who has never drank alcohol nor tasted tobacco.

He is a nature-lover with a phobia of cities and talking to women.

He is also the perfect fighter. After prize-fighter manager Sam Stubener takes Pat under his wing, the two set off to San Francisco to take on the world heavy-weight champion. "The Abysmal Brute" is a thrilling tale of romance and social drama told by on of America's greatest story-tellers, detailing Pats unstoppable pugilistic crusade that sees him fight for the heart of a lovely admirer and expose the rampant corruption within the world of professional boxing.
