Extremely talented, Jimmy's only handicap is that his parents have forbid him to box for fear of his safety. Determined, Jimmy comes up with a foolproof scheme to train with former professional boxer Harry Sloan (Steiger) and work his way to the top of his division. However, when one of Jimmy's opponents gets wind of his deception, he plans to tip off Jimmy's parents in order to eliminate him as competition. When this sets off a string of tragedies, it becomes apparent that the only way to settle the dispute is in the ring. [More]
