Jimmy è un semplice lattaio che sogna di fare carriera nella azienda per cui lavora e che frequenta la stessa palestra dove si allena Pete Wright, che deve presto combattere per il titolo mondiale. E così, quando in un combattimento amichevole, Jimmy casualmente stende Pete, procurandogli anche un infortunio, l'allenatore di quest'ultimo decide che sarà proprio lui a sostituirlo, gettando Jimmy sotto riflettori che mai nella sua vita lui avrebbe immaginato (o desiderato) puntati su di lui.
