The Kid from Brooklyn

BEAUTY STACKED! TUNE PACKED!

After shy milkman Burleigh Sullivan accidentally knocks out drunken champion Speed McFarlane, who was flirting with his sister, the newspapers seize on the story and photographers capture a second knockout. Speed's crooked manager decides to turn Burleigh into a fighter, arranging for opponents to take dives without Burleigh's knowledge. Believing he is genuinely great, Burleigh develops a swelled head that damages his relationship with nightclub singer Polly Pringle, and he may face a reckoning when he challenges Speed for the title.
