Plot

Boxer Viktor Dryomov, having left prison after serving 3 years for beating, finds himself in a difficult situation. The woman he loved went to the old antiquary, and there is no money and no work. Soon, he falls under the supervision of racketeers, who, through skillful provocation and police connections, are trying to attract the former boxing champion to criminal activities. It’s not easy to refuse to gangsters, and under the influence of their blackmail, he agrees to work for them. However, later Victor refuses to continue to engage in racketeering, and as a result a false denunciation is fabricated against him. Dremova is detained by the police, but he does not wait for the charges to be brought. Having escaped from the police station, the hero decides to act and alone destroys the bandits.
