The corrupt world of professional wrestling provides the backdrop for this exploitation film inspired by the boom the sport underwent after it began appearing on television. Tommy Jones (Willard Parker) is a plumber doing some repairs in the office of promoter Charlie Webster (Roy
Roberts) just as the latter is looking for a new wrestler to replace the former champion (Gordon Jones), crippled by Webster's men after he demanded a bigger share of the take. Tommy rises up through the ranks, but when he gets some ideas of his own, he is subjected to the same treatment as the
former champ. This time, however, Webster's strong-arm tactics backfire. Mercifully brief.
