Felipe Rivera (Richard Conte) trades knockout blows in the ring to fund his fiery crusade against tyranny, swapping jabs with greed and corruption while rebel leader Durango (Lee J. Cobb) fuels a ringside rebellion where every punch buys a bullet. With blood, sweat, and revolution in the air, Rivera’s fists become Mexico’s deadliest currency—turning a championship bout into a showdown for freedom.
