When battered prize-fighter Lee Burke is taken to the West Side hospital,
nurse Katherine MacDonald leaves her romantically-inclined patient,
wealthy attorney John Dodge to take care of Burke. She discovers that
Burke was doped by his handler, Churchill, on instructions from gambler
Joe Largo so the latter can win a $5000 bet from Burke's manager Slice
Cavanaugh. Largo orders henchman Larry Carson to bump off Churchill to
keep him from talking. Katherine talks Burke into quitting the ring and
Dodge belittles the ex-boxer by getting him a job as a bellhop.
Cavanaugh, desperate for money, calls Burke yellow and when Burke
happens upon the scene where another Largo henchman, Smiley, has
killed the manager, Burke is tried for the murder.
