**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Bugs, this fellow Bugs Butler

## Snapshot

A heavyweight boxer training upstate whose questionable credentials and ties to Ginger pull Sally into the fight-game subplot.

## Who they are

Bugs Butler is the prizefighter Ginger has a stake in, training at White Plains for a bout against lightweight champion Lew Lucas. The office-boy's scornful verdict, that Butler has never licked anyone worth naming, frames him as an underdog whose chances look bleak. His fight draws Sally into a world of gymnasiums and gamblers far from her Broadway worries, and his fate becomes tangled with the family's fortunes.
