Champion boxer Jimmy Dolan (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.) has cultivated a wholesome image for himself, but he's a boozer and womanizer behind the scenes. Intoxicated at a party, he punches a reporter who threatens to expose his hypocrisy, and accidentally kills him. Dolan panics and skips town, winding up on a farm that serves as a home for disabled children run by kindhearted Peggy (Loretta Young). As the cynical Dolan falls for Peggy, he begins to change his ways.
