After a Vietnam‑war GI saves his comrade’s life, he is shot in the head and suffers severe brain damage, leaving him with a child’s mind in a massive body. Once discharged, the two veterans open a bar, but local gangsters force them to join “cage” fights where fighters battle to serious injury or death. They refuse, igniting a violent clash.
