Drama, Sport

Eddie Burke is a wise-guy pugilist whose talent is unevenly matched by his ego. Despite his character flaws, Eddie knows the meaning of loyalty. When his manager Doc Williams is offered the opportunity to stage a match at Madison Square Garden, but only if he gets rid of his stable of fighters, Eddie fabricates an alibi and stages a walkout on Doc.

Plot

Jack Oakie stars as fighter Eddie Burke who along with his pal, wrestler Brassy Randall (Warren Hymer) help their manager Doc Williams (William Collier Sr.) to get his dream job as `matchmaker' for the venue. Soon Doc falls victim to fight-fixing crooks, but in the wild finale, Garden employees, played by real-life former sports greats, tromp the heavies.
