But in the movie, he is shown as a retired pro-boxer, who takes refuge in a simple steward’s job at a school, after being fatigued by the pugnacity of his profession. However, his skills at pro-boxing do not die.
One day, he is confronted by a poor new admission namely, Matthew Miller, while performing his duty in the school. Matthew is bullied by his friends. Quite bothered by the wretched and pathetic condition of the helpless boy, he decides to teach Matthew the art of boxing, which will come to the rescue of Matthew, next time he gets surrounded by bullies. Matthew finally agrees to learn pro-boxing under Dan’s guidance and the two come to know that the group who bullied him, is lead by a school boxing champion. This neither kills the hopes of Matthew, nor Dan.
Both of them are determined to teach Matthew’s enemy a good lesson. Now, Dan has a chance to vent his frustrations that have long piled up due to his turbulent past.
