The Fighting Dude is a 1925 American silent comedy film directed and written by Fatty Arbuckle as William Goodrich.

[1] Although Arbuckle was acquitted in the third trial for the death of Virginia Rappe, he could not obtain work in Hollywood under his own name, so he adopted the pseudonym William Goodrich for directing the comedy shorts he made under his contract with Educational Film Exchanges.

[2] As described in a film magazine review,[3] an unathletic young man who is in love is ejected from a party at his sweetheart’s home by his rival.

The new champion then decides that even he cannot whip the entire masculine half of the human race and gives up his pursuit of this young woman's affection.
