Following his service in the Army, Walter Gulick takes a job
as a sparring partner in a Catskill training camp run by Willy Grogan and
his girlfriend, Dolly. Willy decides to turn Walter into a
professional fighter over Dolly's objections. The lad earns the
nickname "Kid Galahad" by rescuing Dolly from gangsters to whom Willy is in
debt.
After a series of sensational victories, Walter decides to
give up boxing and settle down with Willy's sister, Rose. Upon hearing
the news the gangsters warn Willy that his man must not be permitted to win
his last bout, and they match him against Sugar-Boy Romero, a highly
experienced fighter. Believing Willy guilty of having arranged the
match for spite, Dolly walks out on him.
Before the fight, Walter's trainer is offered $500 not to
work in his corner. When he refuses the bribe, the hoodlums break his
fingers. Walter arrives on the scene and, after a skirmish with the
gangsters, goes into the ring. Despite a severe beating, he knocks out
his opponent. Dolly returns to Willy, and Walter is free to marry Rose
and open an auto repair shop. |
