Synopsis by Hal Erickson
William Russell plays a prizefighter with both eyes on the heavyweight crown. Russell's nephew is freckle-faced Mickey Bennett, who idolizes his uncle to the nth degree. On the eve of the Big Fight, gangsters kidnap Bennett and order Russell to throw the fight. But the resourceful Bennett manages to escape his captors, and all's well when the final bell rings. Julanne Johnston costars as a social worker who falls in love with likeable lug Russell.
