Tommy McCoy, the son of a destitute former Vaudeville star, earns money by singing in pool halls. When his father Brian discovers his talent for boxing, he pushes Tommy into the ring but continually gambles away his son's winnings. Tommy's accidental killing of one of his old friends during a boxing match earns him the moniker "Killer McCoy" and forces him to consider leaving boxing altogether. However, his spendthrift father has already sold his contract to Jim Carson, a respected investment banker who runs a booking operation on the side under the name of Cain. Tommy's growing love for Carson's daughter Sheila threatens to bring the separate worlds into collision.
