The story

Billy Tully, a 29-year-old ex-boxer already past his prime, goes to a gym in Stockton, California, to get back into shape.

Tully later tells combative barfly Oma Lee Greer and her easygoing boyfriend Earl how impressed he is with the kid.

He drinks too much, cannot hold a job, and picks produce with migrant workers to make ends meet.
