Drifter Charles Bronson arrives in New Orleans during the days of the Great Depression. He hooks up with con man James Coburn who arranges bare-knuckled fights and raises the money for bets. Bronson easily defeats his first few opponents, but has a little more difficulty when he starts winning. Meanwhile, Coburn gets in trouble with loan sharks and relies on Bronson to save him. Jill Ireland has a pointless role as the girl Bronson tries, but fails, to have a relationship with. The fight scenes are not that exciting or convincing, and neither is the period flavor, which relies on a handful of vintage cars and thrift store clothing.
