Synopsis: A low-budget production
that actually turned out pretty good. Golden Gloves champion Henry
Jackson (Henry Armstrong) is known in the ring as Little Dynamite.
Despite the opposition raised by his father (Walter Robison) and
his sweetheart Fanny Singleton (Francine Everett), Jackson agrees
to turn professional when he is approached by fight manager Ed
Watson (Lionel Monagos.) Jackson's so-called friend Harrison introduces
Jackson to a hot mama Jerry Jordan (Mae Johnson,) who is instructed
to get him drunk and do whatever she can to help him lose the
fight including slipping a sleeping pill in he's drink before
the fight.
