User Reviews

Fun for sports fans.

Jack Oakie stars as fighter Eddie Burke who along with his pal, wrestler Brassy Randall (Warren Hymer) help their manager Doc Williams (William Collier Sr.) to get his dream job as `matchmaker' for the venue. Soon Doc falls victim to fight-fixing crooks, but in the wild finale, Garden employees, played by real-life former sports greats, tromp the heavies.
