The film, directed by Poitier, is about blue-collar workers who decide to rig a boxing match to raise money for their fraternal lodge.

The movie was filmed in two cities, Atlanta, Georgia and New Orleans, Louisiana, where most of the plot takes place. This was the second film pairing of Poitier and Cosby following Uptown Saturday Night, and followed by A Piece of the Action (1977).
