Achieving success during the silent-movie era while still in his teens, William "Buster" Collier Jr. often played juvenile leads but was occasionally seen in kid-brother roles as well. With the coming of sound Collier's star began to fade despite his well-received turn as a young gunman in the Oscar-winning 1931 western, Cimarron. In the early 1930s he starred in a succession of Poverty Row melodramas, of which The Fighting Gentleman produced a good example. It sports a familiar plot but is neatly made and features a first-rate supporting cast.

Their marriage is disrupted when the newly pregnant Jeanette sees him kissing another woman at a victory party. She leaves him, knocking the former grease monkey for a loop.
