The boxing promoter Charlie returns from America to Sweden and needs to find a professional Swedish boxer for an upcoming fight. By chance Charlie watches Björn Harring fight off some hoodlums. Charlie sees great potential in Björn and wants to promote him for an upcoming fight, the problem is though that Björn is studying theology and is soon to become a priest. This might not look too good in a prejudiced society of the 40s with a boxing priest, but Charlie is determent to find a way.
