Boxer Gene Harris is serving 5 years in prison after being convicted for killing a man in the ring. He is paroled when crooked fight promoter George Miller promises to keep Gene employed. Wishing to leave his tragic past behind, the boxer is not happy to learn that Miller is promoting him as "Killer" Harris and cashing in on the publicity. Things get worse when in his first bout, his knockout punch leaves his opponent dead. The ex-con is being set up to take the fall while promoter Miller makes off with a fortune.
