The story

In 1933, an older man named Chaney watches a bare-knuckled street fight, on which bets are made.

Chaney bets all of the six dollars he has on himself and quickly dispatches his younger opponent.

For the next fight against local brawling champ Jim Henry, Speed gets a loan from a gang of local mobsters headed by Doty to pay sponsor/fish tycoon Chick Gandil.
