Boxer Hogan prevents his wartime pal Eddie from committing suicide. Eddie, an ex-Marine, got into debt and embezzled funds from a bank. After Hogan and Eddie defeat some hold-up men, Hogan's manager Spigot gets the idea to promote Eddie as a boxer too. He arranges for Eddie to knock out Hogan while sparring, and the ensuing publicity makes it possible for Eddie to get a contract that allows him to pay off his debt. Spigot thanks Hogan for taking the dive but Hogan says "That sock was on the level!"
