      kevin w Buster Crabbe in this simplistic morality tale about a trucker turned boxer who gets so big headed after a couple of wins that he ignores his family and friends. No, it's not a description of Mike Tyson, but it could be. Guess what happens by the end? Aww, nevermind! Glenn Strange is a welcome addition as the best friend.
