The story

Promising young violinist Joe Bonaparte (William Holden) wants to be a professional prizefighter, “to own things and to give things” that a career in music cannot provide. Joe brings Tom Moody (Adolphe Menjou), an almost bankrupt fight manager, the news that Moody's fighter has just broken his hand. Joe—who was sparring with the man when it happened—wants to take the boxer's place in the impending fight.
