This film from Uruguay is about a shifty promoter and his washed-up, former champion strongman. Gary Piquer is Prince Orsini, a scam artist who books fights for German wrestler Jacob van Oppen (Jouko Ahola). Jacob was at one time a titleholder but is now older and in poor health. Orsini sets up the fights in each of the South American towns they visit so that the challenger could not possibly win the $1000 purse. Things start to go bad for him in the present town when his challenger is arrested for being drunk and disorderly. Then a young woman insists that Jacob fight her fiancee, a young healthy Turk. Orisini tries to worm his way out of the fight, but Jacob insists on fighting not realizing that they have been scamming audiences all along.
