Brown plays Gink Schiner, a third-rate fighter who is at the same training camp as Georges La Verne (played by Georges Carpentier), a contender for the heavyweight championship. Although he needs to be concentrating all of his energies on the upcoming bout, Georges keeps getting distracted: Norine Lloyd, a society dame, has a distinct interest in him, but the interest is strictly one-sided. Georges prefers Sue, an old buddy and confidante. Gink has woman trouble of his own, as his flirtations do not sit at all well with Toots (played by Winnie Lightner), his erstwhile girlfriend. More trouble arrives when Larkin, manager of current heavyweight champ Bob Morgan, appears at the camp with the goal of fixing the fight. He is sent packing, after which he attempts to slip a Mickey Finn to the challenger—a plan which goes awry when Gink switches the drinks. Meanwhile, Gink, who is fighting in a preliminary in advance of the big fight, actually wins. Things don't look so bright for Georges, who initially gets the worst of it in his encounter with Morgan, but who eventually comes out on top.

Frank X. Farrell (Joe E. Brown) is an ace baseball player whose insistence upon making up excuses earns him the nickname "Alibi Ike." In the course of his first season with the Chicago Cubs, Farrell also falls in love with Dolly Stevens (Olivia De Havilland), sister-in-law of the team's manager. Farrell's "alibi" habit prompts Dolly to walk out on him, whereupon he goes into a slump—which coincides with attempts by gamblers to get Farrell to throw the World Series.

Pug est un gentil garçon et une force de la nature pour qui rien ne compte plus que son chien et sa fiancée. Le voyou Al l'apprend à ses dépens en essayant de voler un baiser à la belle : en colère Pug met seul en déroute Al et toute sa bande de voyous. Au théâtre voisin, Cyclone Flynn, le célèbre boxeur, doit faire une exhibition et affronte tous ceux qui veulent tenter leur chance. Sa récente déconvenue donne l'idée au voyou de présenter Pug comme challenger et partager la prime. Il parvient à convaincre ce dernier d'aller s'inscrire. Mais une fois sur le ring, le combat de rue n'a rien à voir avec le Noble Art et Cyclone Flynn démolit consciencieusement Pug. Sonné et hors de lui, ce dernier se saisit de deux revolvers et entame une course poursuite avec le boxeur professionnel, qui a pris les jambes à son cou à l'extérieur du théâtre. Nos deux larrons sont suivis par les soigneurs, fiancée et spectateurs. Aussitôt alertés par le directeur, les Keystone Cops entrent dans la danse et finissent comme d'habitude par faire les frais de cette histoire en prenant un bain.

Boxer and amateur pilot Joe Pendleton (Robert Montgomery), affectionately known as "the Flying Pug", flies his small aircraft to his next fight in New York City, but crashes when a control cable severs. His soul is "rescued" by 7013 (Edward Everett Horton), an officious angel who assumed that Joe could not have survived. Joe's manager, Max "Pop" Corkle (James Gleason), has his body cremated. In the afterlife, the records show his death was a mistake; he was supposed to live for 50 more years. The angel's superior, Mr. Jordan (Claude Rains), confirms this, but since there is no more body, Joe will have to take over a newly dead corpse. Mr. Jordan explains that a body is just something that is worn, like an overcoat; inside, Joe will still be himself. Joe insists that it be someone in good physical shape, because he wants to continue his boxing career. Joe keeps saying the body they find "has to be in the pink".
