The tragic tale of a hard-bitten prizefighter who rises to the top of his profession but can't erase the scars of his underprivileged youth. In his struggle to get ahead, middleweight champ Midge Kelly ends up ruthlessly using -- and abusing -- everyone close to him: his manager, the various women in his life, and, finally, even his crippled brother.
