Synopsis: Flash Gonzaga (Vic Vargas) decides to make a ring comeback despite his wife’s objections. He easily knocks off Joe Bikol (Nonoy de Guzman) and becomes a contender for the title held by Kid Alaminos (Phillip Salvador). Flash’s friend, Max (Paquito Diaz), is Kid’s immediate challenger. He is intimidated by Kid’s manager, Mr. Lorenzo (Ben Rubio), who offers him an ample sum of money to fix the fight. Out of fear and want, Max agrees and loses the fight in the prescribed manner.
Flash is next in line, and Mr. Lorenzo starts fixing the bout. However, there is a difference. This time, it will be his protege who will lose. The news weighs hard on Kid’s ego. He has since discovered that his manager has been courting his girlfriend, Rita (Chanda Romero), on the sly. He goes over to Flash and exposes the deal. Flash tells him to fight back.
The match becomes a fierce battle of principles and punches. There is a nerve-racking exchange of blows, jabs, stabs and slashes. Finally, Kid Alaminos emerges as the victor; but did he win fair and square? Did Flash Gonzaga throw in the fight? Flash also declares himself the winner, for Kid’s victory is also his victory.
