Storyline
When he completes his military service Walter Gulick returns to his birthplace, Cream Valley, New York. He was orphaned as an infant and grew up elsewhere but always wanted to return to where he was from. He hopes to be a mechanic but soon after his arrival finds himself working as a sparring partner at a boxing camp. Having lost all of his money in a crap game, Walter is happy to take any kind of work but a devastating right hook sends him down a different path. Willy Grogan thinks he has a winner in Walter who, after helping a lady out, is dubbed Kid Galahad. Willy is a likable man but gambles too much and may have been a witness to a mobster's conversation that would best be forgotten. As Walter gains more success, and falls in love with Willy's sister Rose, Willy Grogan finds himself coming under pressure from mobsters to make Walter takes a dive at his next big fight.

Maynard: You cooked this great. It cuts real fine!
Willy Grogan: [as Willy and Lew walk in the kitchen arguing about Rose's whereabouts] Let's get one thing settled, Lew. Exactly what time was it when you saw Rose leave the picnic?
Lew Nyack: I told you before, 6:30, quarter to 7, 10 to 7 - I didn't make a note of it.
Dolly Fletcher: [as Dolly and Lew munch on some of Maynard's corned beef] What's all the commotion about? She was with Galahad, wasn't she?
Willy Grogan: I know who she was with. And I'll tell you something else I know: It's 20 minutes to 9.
Dolly Fletcher: Could she be safer with the F.B.I.?
Willy Grogan: Which way were they going?
Lew Nyack: I told you that before too, back towards the village.
Willy Grogan: You sure?

Revealing mistakes: Kid Galahad trains for the climactic big fight during the middle of summer, Independence Day to Labor Day, yet when you see all the orange and yellow leaves on the trees and on the ground it is obvious that these scenes were filmed in autumn. See more »Quotes
