Prize-fighter Davey Gordon intervenes when private dancer Gloria Price is being attacked by her employer and lover Vincent Raphello. This brings the two together and they get involved with each other, which displeases Raphello. He sends men out to kill Davey, but they instead kill his manager. Gloria is soon kidnapped by Raphello and his men, and it is up to Davey to save her.
Originally from Washington state farming country, twenty-nine year old Davey Gordon is a New York based welterweight boxer. Despite having an overwhelming winning record, his career, which is nearing its end regardless due to his advanced age, is deemed a promise unfulfilled as he could never win the big ones, with his Achilles heel being his glass jaw. As their apartment windows are directly opposite each other, he and a neighbor, Gloria Price, who works as a taxi dancer at a dance hall called Pleasureland, have long noticed each other, without either ever having said a word to the other, and thus both knowing nothing about each other. Vinnie Rapallo, Pleasurelands manager, treats Gloria as his property, not only professionally but also personally. Davey and Gloria officially meet when he does a Good Samaritan deed to save her from possible harm. From their furtive glances from afar and that encounter, Davey and Gloria quickly fall in love and plan to escape together from the pain that is their current lives, most specifically in Seattle with Daveys Uncle George on the family farm. However, it will not be as easy as picking up and moving as Vinnies threat to kill Gloria if she were ever try to leave him - a threat she believes is hollow - may not just extend to her, but also to Davey and anyone else in their sphere. If they are able to survive Vinnies actions, Davey and Gloria will still have to contend with some negative aspects of their dealings with Vinnie, which may forever change the nature of their feelings for each other.
