Lloyd goes out with a whimper as a milkman who gets in a lucky punch on a boxing champ. When his horse falls sick, he signs a contract with unscrupulous promoters to pay for the vet bills. He wins a series of rigged boxing matches, developing a huge ego along the way. On the verge of losing his dignity, not to mention his girl, he must fight one last match, but without any help this time. Predictable all the way, and Lloyd's constant mugging for the camera becomes tiresome.
