Eddie Willis is a sportswriter that joins forces with a corrupt boxing promoter named Benko. Together, they scheme to deceive Toro Moreno, a clumsy, seven foot giant, and the public into believing Moreno has a shot at the heavyweight title. Through a series of fixed fights, Toro is duped into believing that he is a capable contender, only to have his dreams, and body, shattered when he is brutally beaten in a genuine fight with the champion.
