Summary:
An over-the-hill boxer thinks he can still win a bout, despite doubts from his wife and his manager. He goes into his next fight determined to beat his opponent, not realizing his manager has taken money for a 'dive' from a tough gambler. Hightening the tension, the film takes place over the course of 72 minutes, its approximate running time.
