Jim Corbett, américain d'origine irlandaise, veut s'élever dans la société. Ses moyens : devenir champion du monde de boxe, conquérir la fille de son patron (banquier respectable de la nouvelle bourgeoisie de San Francisco) et être un grand acteur shakespearien. Cela paraît trop, mais son optimisme, la croyance en ses moyens ainsi que son talent le feront triompher de tout. Suprême victoire : il aura appris la modestie (ce qui lui ouvrira le cœur d'Alexis Smith) : voir la scène où Sullivan, le champion sortant et battu, lui remet sa ceinture. Corbett, devenu humble, lui rendra le plus beau des hommages.
