Everglades

When Linc arrests a youth for reckless driving and assaulting a police officer, his father, the owner of a notorious gambling club, does everything possible to get the charges thrown out.

Coley Jarrett, an up-and-coming boxer, returns to the Everglades after defeating a leading contender. He becomes the target for every would-be tough guy in the 'Glades, as well as mobsters who are angry that he wouldn't take a dive when ordered to do so. When Coley refuses to testify against the racketeers, Linc uses the fighter's girlfriend to change his mind.
