Eddie Nugent is in prison for murder; he's a boxer whose opponent died in the ring. He's been paroled, and hopes to get back with girlfriend Lucille Lund, but as a parolee he can't get married, so there's nothing for him but the fight racket, where he wants to win. But there's something weird going on, fixed fights, and he finds himself in the middle of a lot of problems.
Given director Robert Hill, I wasn't expecting much from this movie, but despite somewhat garbled story line, it's decently paced and acted. Cinematographer William Hyer shoots a lot of the boxing shots from above, doubtless hoping the unusual angle will disguise the fact that the matches don't look very well fought, despite the undercranking. Clearly the crew was feeling ambitious; but the results aren't very distinguished.
