The Milky Way is a charming, yet hilarious comedy centered on shy milkman Burleigh Sullivan (Harold Lloyd), who appears to have knocked out boxing champ Speed McFarland (William Gargan) and his sparring partner in a brawl over Burleigh's sister. In truth, Burleigh simply ducked the men's punches, and they knocked each other out. But the newspaper got wind of the story, and now Burleigh is being heralded as a hero. In an attempt to salvage the champ's career, the fight manager convinces Burleigh to fight in a series of fixed matches that end in a title fight he must lose to Speed McFarland. But making a wiry wimp like Burleigh appear to be a boxing champ won't be easy! (Echo Bridge Entertainment)
