"One round" Jack is a boxer who fights in bazaars. He is engaged to Nelly.
Without revealing his true identity, the Australian champion Bob Corby, who is
falling in love with Nelly, challenges Jack.
"One round" loses and Bob, who wants to be close to Nelly, hires Jack as his
sparring partner.
A short time passes until Bob and Nelly run away together. Jack is now in training
for his revenge.
He challenges Bob in Albert Hall. While Jack is going to lose again, Nelly
starts inciting him and "One Round" finds the strenght to win.

This is one of his dumb movies that Hitchcock liked most. "The Ring" has lots of
meanings: it's the place where Jack fights, it's the wedding ring and it's Bob's
present to Nelly. These are the three rings on which the plot of the film is built.
