High school basketball star Jack Scratch discovers he also has boxing skills after his mom, Janet, befriends Slovenian slugger Paveli Punch Pangora and local legend Sweet Sugar Brown.

Punch, Sweet, and Jack's basketball coach Quick Rick Steele vie for Janet's attention, much to her son's chagrin. Jack stumbles into romance himself with Mindy Kim, a sporty smart aleck and video game master.

With Punch as his trainer, Jack enters a boxing tournament, likely to battle Sweet's protege Bruiser Bobby Studd. Coach Steele warns Jack that throwing fists will ruin his sure shot and soft hands and endanger his chances at a college basketball scholarship.

Jack balances his passions for both sports while subconsciously seeking a father figure to help guide him into adulthood.
