In an Academy Award-winning "Best Actor" performance, burly Wallace Beery—he of the fog-cutter voice and gruff warmth—plays the washed-up prizefighter making a ring comeback to provide for his son.

Nine-year-old Our Gang comedy star Jackie Cooper is Dink, as devoted a son as ever stood in any man's corner. Laugh. Cry. Cheer. Cry some more. Even as The Champ breaks your heart, it heals the spirit.
