Milking the laughs for all they’re worth! | A mild-mannered milkman must survive the boxing ring after accidentally flooring the world champion.
Burleigh Sullivan inadvertently bests the middleweight champion in a street scuffle, prompting the fighter’s scheming manager to build Burleigh up through a series of staged bouts. As his ego inflates along with his winning streak, Burleigh must ultimately face the real champion in a chaotic, unscripted title match to prove his worth.
Original Title: The Milky Way (1936)
