The IMF's assignment is to undermine the Syndicate's involvement in the boxing world by driving a wedge between Jay Braddock, a no-nonsense hood, and Paul Mitchell, his more weak-willed partner, who had been honest before Braddock enticed him to become involved in the Syndicate. To do so, the IMF takes advantage of the budding romance between Mitchell's daughter, Susan, and one of Braddock's and Mitchell's contract boxers, Pete Novick.
