Boxer Davy Gordon meets nightclub dancer Gloria Price. The two fall in love; but Gloria's ex-employer Vince Rapallo has a love for Gloria and doesn't want to let a boxer steal his love desire. His anger leads to murder, a police manhunt, and revenge. Davy and Rapallo eventually end up going one-on-one to fight.
