This routine, complicated story features a young Polish factory worker who decides to launch himself into a boxing career. Factory work is not going to get him very far, but boxing might. He goes through rough-and-tumble training in the gym on his off-hours and struggles with the shady dealings that grease the wheels in the world of boxing. Then he finally gets a shot at coming up roses when he travels to Chicago for a big match -- or at least it seems that way to the aspiring champion. Meanwhile, he has not been so foolish as to abandon his job at the factory.
