Something for Nothing Filming Locations

Kid Roberts, seeking the championship crown, gets lost in the wilds of Mexico with Joe Murphy, his manager and Ptomaine Tommy, his sparring partner. In their attempt to locate Tia Juana where the big fight is to be held, they come upon what seems to be the beautiful estate of a wealthy man. On entering, however, they find that it is the retreat of a famous bandit, who, on learning that Kid Roberts is the head of the party, decides to hold them for ransom instead of killing them. After making this startling announcement, the bandit points out two men, loitering near by, and warns his new guests that if he catches them talking to them, he will have them executed forthwith. Consequently our heroes repulse the several advances made by the gentlemen during their stay. Later the bandit sends some of his men to bring the champion heavyweight to his retreat so that he can witness a fight between him and Kid Roberts. Bob Young, the champ, arrives tied to his manager and the fight is arranged. The bandit announces that the loser will be shot, before he can get up from the floor. The result of this announcement is a corking good fight. At the end the bandit has become so excited that he nearly has a fit. Several of his attendants rush to him and carry him away. It is then that Kid Roberts learns that the bandit is nothing but a mentally deranged man who is being taken care of by his relatives. The gentlemen to whom they were forbidden to speak on pain of death were the men in charge of the sanatorium. He is certainly sore that he put up such a good fight for nothing.
