A syndicate attempts to buy out an entire district for redevelopment but encounters resistance from the small gym 'Olympic' owned by weightlifter Joe Santo and managed by Mary Tate Farnsworth. The syndicate enlists Craig Blake, a wealthy layabout, as a proxy to purchase the gym. However, after spending time at the gym and falling in love with Mary Tate, Craig becomes reluctant to sell. Tensions escalate when Craig attempts to back out of the deal, leading to a brawl at the gym and a spectacle at a big bodybuilding meet.
