FBI agent Mac Richards is taking his girlfriend, Helen Phillips, to a World Cup boxing match just to find out that the event has been canceled because the title holder has been kidnapped. Mac is entrusted with the ransom money, but the kidnappers discover that his fellow agents have surrounded the locker of the train station where the money was to be put and order the champion's manager to deliver the money to another server. With Helen disguised as a waitress and Mac in a taxi, the couple set out to deliver the money. The gang doesn't take any chances though - they took a taxi and took the ransom money and Helena to their hiding place. Now Mac and his fellow agents must save the champion and his darling before he harms them.
