Plot
James “Thunder” Moore is a young boxer who has earned a shot at the heavyweight title. Dante Morelli is a nightclub owner who also owns Thunder’s boxing contract. When Thunder secretly marries Morelli’s daughter Mona, danger is in the air.

Thunder’s childhood friend, Chicago Jones, is a struggling song and dance man who bitterly envies Thunder’s rise to prominence. Despite the boxer’s awesome strength and prowess, his one weakness is only too apparent to his old friend. Chicago sets in motion deadly mischief that brings the story to a tragic climax.
