Watch The Milky Way

Burleigh Sullivan is a timid milkman. He gets into a brawl with the world middleweight champion, Speed McFarland, who ends up getting knocked out. Burleigh never throws a punch during the brawl. Instead, he simply ducks down to avoid a punch that ultimately brings Speed down. Gabby Sloan, Speed's boss, decides he wants to promote Sullivan. He then sets up a series of fights that are fixed.
