Synopsis
Spoiler shield

Ted Boy and Renato, two clumsy mechanics from the countryside, are dating two young women who live in a luxurious mansion near their workshop. Ted Boy gets into a fight with some catch fighters, and their coach, thrilled with his performance, invites him to train. Ted Boy trains diligently and, in a dizzying career, becomes a serious contender for the ultimate title. Criminals try to buy him into losing the final fight, but when they fail, they kidnap his girlfriend and threaten him with blackmail.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
