Synopsis
Johnny McKinney, an ambitious young prizefighter, meets Betty behind a glove counter in a department store and falls in love. His manager returns from a business trip to find him idolized by Betty, her father, and her younger brother; when Johnny and Betty are married, the brother and father move in with them, and the financial burden is such that Johnny is forced to fight too frequently. In a charity bout Johnny sustains a fractured hand, and he is ordered out of the ring for 3 months. When Betty's brother needs a large sum to cover a worthless check, she tells Johnny she is expecting a baby, but his manager refuses his request for funds. Johnny suffers a crushing defeat in the ring and is embittered toward his wife upon learning of her deception, but they are reconciled when the manager orders her relatives out.
