Synopsis:

Knocked out just as he leaps in, Sam has become Kid Cody, a boxer who's contract is owned by a group of nuns. Complicating things is a fight promoter who is forcing the Kid to throw his matches for profit. And then there's the girlfriend who wants him to retire from boxing all together.

Now he must somehow win the championship to build the nuns a new chapel and maybe save a soul or two along the way.
