Hillary Kramer, a wealthy perfume executive awakes one morning to find that her accountant has robbed her blind and escaped to South America. While going through what's left of her remaining assets she finds Kid Natural, a boxer she purchased as a tax write off years earlier. She decides to take Kid, who hasn't been in the ring for years, and use him as her key to riches. Kid thinks that this will only get him killed and resists.
