Harte Fäuste, heiße Liebe (1962)
Frisch aus der Armee entlassen und auf der Suche nach einem Job läuft Walter Gulick dem halbseidenen und überschuldeten Boxtrainer Willy Grogan in die Arme. Der möchte den unerfahrenen Walter im Kampf gegen den brutalen Boxer Joie Shakes verheizen. Aber im Übungsring schlägt er den Favoriten mit einer gezielten Rechten k.o. Nun will Grogan Walter zum Champion machen und sich so von seinen Schulden bei Gansterboss Otto Danzig befreien. Walter gerät zwischen alle Fronten und muss – um auch die Liebe der jungen Schwester Grogans zu gewinnen – seine Durchsetzungskraft auch außerhalb des Ringes unter Beweis stellen.
