Jimmy (Regis Toomey) finds out his mother has died just before his big fight. Of course he loses but he also injures his arm. Because he can't fight anymore he gets a job as a bouncer at a swanky night club. He also becomes smitten with Adele (cute Dorothy Sebastian), a dancer, who is having trouble with Mr. Filmore, the owner. Her brother, Ralph, (Eddie Woods, who co-starred with James Cagney in "The Public Enemy") has been stealing money from the till, Filmore finds out and forces him to frame Jimmy. Ralph confesses to Adele, so she romances Filmore to get him to confess so Jimmy can be released from jail. Jimmy gets out of jail on good behaviour and finds out what is happening. He goes back for one last fight to win a purse of $1,000, to pay back the money.
It is not as bad as the reviewers make out. Both the stars do the best they can with the material. Dorothy Sebastian was a great little star in the silents but in talkies her career strangely petered out. In this film she photographs nicely and has a very cute personality - sometimes very hard to get across in these cheap movies. Gertrude Astor from "The Cat and the Canary" (1927) plays Kate, one of the nightclub managers. Regis Toomey, on the other hand, after debuting in "Alibi" (1929) didn't stop working until just before his death at 93!!!
