Plot
Jack Boucher is an orphan and the happily adopted son of Mary Anne. Boucher borrows money from criminal Big Momma Sweet for Mary Anne's medical expenses. He becomes a successful underground pit fighter, known as "the Butcher", to repay the loan. The income is insufficient, and instead Boucher raises the money through gambling. The threat of foreclosure on Mary Anne's house forces Boucher to choose to repay the bank instead of Big Momma; he kills Big Momma's debt collector. Boucher fights a man from Big Momma on the way home. Boucher crashes his car in a corn field, then makes his way to a nearby bar and passes out. Annette, who works at a carnival, passes through the corn field and retrieves the money. With the money missing, Big Momma grants a desperate Boucher an extension on repayment on the condition that - should he fail - he becomes her pit fighter again.
Boucher rescues Annette at a gas station and provides her with transportation. They stop at Mary Anne's house where Boucher apologizes for being unable to prevent the foreclosure. Annette reads Boucher's diary and deduces that he is her lost father; they reconcile.
Boucher takes the money to Big Momma. She challenges Boucher to one last fight for enough money to save the house; he accepts and wins against a physically larger opponent. With all of his debts cleared, Boucher returns to live happily with Annette and Mary Anne.
