Synopsis

Local townsfolk put up their life-savings to build a million dollar stadium for Humphrey's fight career. However, Humphrey is the local blacksmith and not a professional boxer. Crooked managers try to get Humphrey into high-stake matches to cash in on the proceeds if Humphrey can knock the other fighter out. Joe ends up winning the match, but manages to save the town and Humphrey's blacksmith shop by paying off the cost of the stadium from his own winnings. A concrete statue of Joe with his manager, made by Mr. Mipply, is unveiled in a town celebration at the end of the story.
