At Ella's behest, unemployed Waite takes a job as a perfume salesman, but coming home from his first day smelling like the product earns him catcalls as he passes a neighborhood gym. So, Waite clocks the offender, named Rocky, only to learn his now-bruised bully is the sparing partner of a big-time boxer. Rocky's humiliation gets him fired, and when Waite stands in for the job, he KOs the Champ, too! This seemingly puts Waite in line for a $50,000 prize fight, but he's more concerned with having so quickly just put two other men out of work.
