Hogan, who should be training for his bout with Frisco, is pining for Lillian, a young woman he rescued in a previous story. She's now attending an exclusive girl's school. Hogan's manager Spigot is kidnaped. Lillian, realising she's a distraction, sends Hogan a telegram indicating she's running away. Hogan is losing the fight to Frisco when Lillian shows up at ringside and says she loves him. Hogan knocks out his opponent and Spigot appears, safe and sound.

Indexer Notes

Lillian is spelled "Lillyan" in one panel; this was the way her name was spelled in the story where she was introduced, in The Green Mask (1940 series) #v2#1 [12] Spring 1945.
