Having lost his heavyweight championship match, boxer Ernie Driscoll now drives a taxi for a living and earns the scorn of his nagging wife, Pauline, who blames him for her lack of social status. Involved with jewel thief Victor Rawlins, Pauline is murdered by him when she impedes his ability to fence the jewels. Blamed for his wifes murder, Ernie must track down Rawlins before he leaves the country.
Four years ago, short tempered Ernie Driscoll was seconds away from winning the world heavyweight championship, a bout he ultimately lost, which was called due to an eye injury. He has since been banned from fighting in New York state as he could lose his eyesight permanently if the eye gets reinjured. He is now a New York cabbie who hopes at least to get something more financially stable, such as owning a gas station, while his bitter wife, Pauline Driscoll, believes she gave up a promising show business career for him, although she was only a showgirl at the time only now to work in a florist shop. Needing an outlet to let go of his anger following an incident with Pauline and another with Linda James, a casual friend and struggling actress, Ernie decides to get back into boxing professionally. Ernies problem really start when simultaneously he finds Paulines dead body in the back of his cab and the police are looking for him for an assault charge pertaining to the incident with Linda. Ernie has a good idea of what the man who killed Pauline looks like, and why that man would frame him for the murder. With a couple of friends helping him, Ernie, with only a single lead, goes looking for the man to find out why he killed Pauline, while at the same time tries to elude the police before they pick him up for the assault and/or find Paulines dead body and pin the murder on him.
