The Set-Up (1949)

starring Robert Ryan, Audrey Totter

directed by Robert Wise

73 minutes

Boxer Bill "Stoker" Thompson (Robert Ryan) shows up for a fight in Paradise City unaware that Tiny, his manager, has taken money to ensure that Stoker only makes it through the first two rounds before getting knocked out. Tiny figures that with Stoker's history he will probably lose anyway and doesn't tell him about the money.

Julie (Audrey Totter), Stoker's wife, is so sick of watching him get beaten up that she walks around town rather than go to see him fight. Stoker, feeling like he's got something to prove, gives it his all and wins the fight in the fourth round. He knows by then about the fix but he doesn't care, until Little Boy, the gangster who paid for it, comes to pay him back for not sticking with the plan.
