Plot
[edit source]Mickey's overprotective mother is trying to raise him as a gentleman by dressing him like a sissy and enrolling him in dance school. The only family member who sympathizes with Mickey's plight is his grandmother, who knows that he is harboring a crush on precocious Mary. Grandma encourages Mickey to pursue Mary and agrees to cover for him when he sneaks away to visit her. Neighborhood bully Johnny, who also has eyes for Mary, slugs Joe. Mickey fights Johnny and is losing until Grandma rallies him, and Mickey gains the upper hand. Johnny's father becomes involved just as Grandma enters the fight. Mickey's mother, having witnessed her son in action, realizes that she must treat Mickey as a proper boy.
