The Bowery Boys, led by the notorious Slip Mahoney, are helping out at a boxing arena, selling programs, drinks and snacks to the audience.
The most popular upcoming fight is between their own Jimmy Higgins ”The Battler from the Bowery” and the reigning champion Joey Prince.
Together with the journalist Gabe Moreno, the boys start promoting a series of fights in benefit for the Higgins family.
Johnny's first fight is announced, and the training starts in a loft locality the boys get to borrow from their friend Louie who owns a candy store.
Harris is the one who has fixed the fight, and he promises the Bowery Boys that Prince will confess and clear Johnny's name.
Harris cheats by giving Carson a metal stick to hold in his hand, and Johnny is badly beaten.
