[edit] Plot summary
Philo Beddoe is still a brawler, but he has decided to retire from it all. Things get interesting for Philo when he runs into Lynn Halsey-Taylor, the woman who hurt him about a year before. She feels very bad about the way she treated Philo. Orville, Philo's friend, is not happy to see her, because it took Philo months to get over being dumped by Lynn. But Philo does forgive her since she is down on her luck, so they get back together. Lynn finally meets Clyde, Philo's orangutan and friend. They run into "The Black Widows" again, the troublesome motorcycle gang.
Philo gets a visitor at his house, a man who is a member of the mob that is offering money to Philo to fight a man named Jack Wilson. Philo decides to think about it. Orville, Ma, Clyde and Lynn do not want Philo to fight, because Orville heard that Jack Wilson is very tough. Philo decides not to fight and gives the money back. The man is not happy about this and the mobsters kidnap Lynn and force Philo to fight Jack Wilson.
The movie was filmed in the California communities of Sun Valley, North Hollywood, and Bakersfield, and in picturesque Jackson, Wyoming.
