But the relationship with his waitress doesn't make things double as hard.
A New York lawyer turned promoter for the world of boxing is willing to do whatever hustling it takes to get to the big time.
Het verhaal gaat over de louche advocaat Harry Fabian die zó charmant onbeholpen kan reageren, dat barjuffrouw Helen Nasseros al begint te glimmen zodra hij z'n gezicht laat zien. Na wat heen en weer geflirt over de bar, staan ze even later op straat te vrijen. Als Helen weer met beide benen op de grond staat, is ze zo onvoorzichtig om Harry haar spaargeld te lenen. Hij kan daarmee een boksgala organiseren, een initiatief dat door de plaatselijke mafia onder leiding van mafiaboss Boom Boom Grossman echter niet op waarde wordt geschat.
