Comments: Nick Donati and Turkey Morgan are opposing managers who run fighters in the boxing ring. Of course, they dislike and distrust one another. So when Nick fires his boxer for not listening to orders,--just like all the boxers before him--Turkey decides to move in. That's when Nick meets an innocent, young amateur boxer who's working as a bellhop in the hotel where he and his girlfriend Miss Louise Phillips, or "Fluff", are entertaining a three-day-and-night party. The trouble is: Turkey paid Nick's previous boxer to give-in. How will Nick respond? Will his new boxer, the bellhop, dubbed Kid Galahad, be any better?

I enjoyed this film, even though I find boxing boring. The reason is this film goes beyond boxing: it explores humanity. I really liked how Edward G. Robinson gets his haircut during a three-day-three-night party! This movie comes from a story in the Saturday Evening Post.
