The Fighting Cub is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by Paul Hurst and starring Wesley Barry, Mildred Harris, and Pat O'Malley.

In this modest drama, a determined copy boy achieves his aspiration of becoming a journalist after unearthing the hideout of a criminal gang.

Renowned young actor Wesley Barry takes on the role of the persistent copy boy, who consistently seeks opportunities to report from the city editor.

A colleague, in cahoots with the thieves, learns of the hideout's location from Barry and discreetly alerts the authorities.
