Joe Palooka (Joe Kirkwood, Jr.) witnesses a mob killing and vows to bring the killers to justice, but since the body is missing, the cops can't help him. The boxer names names for the papers, however, and two of the murderers he fingers come looking for him, but are caught and sent to
jail. The suspenseful fight sequence features a doped-up Joe valiantly trying to hold his crown, while manager Knobby Walsh (James Gleason, replacing series vet Leon Errol) is held by gangsters.
