Desc: The Main Event: Directed by William K. Howard. With Vera Reynolds, Rudolph Schildkraut, Julia Faye, Charles Delaney. Glory Frayne, a cabaret dancer, is in love with Red Lucas, a prizefighter whose opponent, Johnnie Regan, she meets accidentally when he comes to her cabaret performance. When Johnnie is attracted to her, Glory sees in the situation an opportunity of clinching the forthcoming fight for Lucas, and she deliberately keeps Johnnie away from training. Reprimanded by his father for his poor condition, Johnnie insists that his love for Glory means more to him than the fight. Glory, realizing her love for Johnnie, regrets her plotting and admits her feelings to Lucas, who takes up with Margie, Glory's girl friend. Glory tries to persuade Johnnie to stay out of the ring, but learning of her scheming, he goes to his defeat. Afterwards, she assures him of her love, and they are married.
