Broadway impressario Bruce McKay enlists boxing champ Tommy Lundy as a box-office draw for his new show "Down and Out" but lives to regret it when Tommy meddles in everything. Tommy pursues chorine Pat Lambert, who is engaged to Bill Smith, who, jobless, is about to leave town when Tommy hires him as sparring partner for the show. Complications unfold in standard backstage-musical fashion.
