Plot[]
A friend of Detective Logan is tied to a nightclub shooting, and the investigation leads him and Wheeler into the world of amateur boxing.
The victim had discovered his manager, Gus Kovak, raped a friend of his and threatened to tell the police, so Kovak hired someone to kill him. This revelation comes too late, however, as the victim brother had already found about it. Before Logan can arrest Kovak, the brother kills him in revenge, leaving a shocked Logan to arrest his friend for murder.
