Synopsis
Ginger Roberts takes over as manager of her father's fighters after he dies in a car accident, but the fighters refuse to work for a woman and walk out. She takes over the training of her boyfriend, Mickey Blake, and after his first successful fight under her regime, they marry. Mickey becomes a successful fighter and gets a place fighting in a boxing charity match held by socialite June Prentice. Mickey wins and garners the interest of Frank Boyd, who books all the Prentice fights, and the romantic interest of June. Mickey's newfound wealth provides him with a high standard of living, and, afraid of losing his good looks in fights, he only allows Ginger to book him against third-rate fighters. Ginger is disgusted by her husband's cowardice and leaves him, and Mickey hires a new manager. Knowing that Mickey is out of shape, his new manager pits him against strong competitors and then bets against him. Mickey loses all his subsequent fights and June loses interest in him. Now destitute, Mickey's former trainer brings him to Ginger, who has been highly successful as a fight promoter, and Mickey is newly inspired to fight Conklin, a champion fighter. Mickey wins the fight and also wins back his wife.
