She then hires a young lady to impersonate the daughter of an old friend, and try and interest sonny, who, however, refuses to be interested. At the same time she engages a tough prize fighter to toughen him up, but sonny doesn't want that either. When the fighter takes him down a rough street, son suddenly cuts loose and beats everybody up. He then rushes home in a frenzy, and when mother asks him the trouble he says that the horrid man told him there wasn't any Santa Claus. Written by
