Plot[]
On the east side of New York City, boxing trainer Danny McGuinn is trying to prepare one of his sons, Eddie, to earn a chance to fight in the Olympic Games, while his other son, Ray, has fallen in with shady men from organized crime. After Ray is killed, Eddie discovers that an opposing boxer, Pedroza, was involved in his brother’s death and challenges him to a bout in the hopes of securing revenge.
