Plot

edit

A crooked fight promoter, Jim Hurley, dupes a naive former football player, Bucky O'Neill, into becoming an untrained wrestler in fixed bouts. When Hurley's girlfriend Lola Del Mont becomes romantically attracted to O'Neill, Hurley fixes his next match for wrestler Ivan Stanislaus to win. O'Neill plots his revenge during the next year as he secretly goes through rigorous wrestling training in another location. He returns disguised in a costume stolen from another wrestler, and Hurley orders him killed when he discovers his identity.[1]
