Synopsis

Country bumpkin Egghead receives some junk mail from ACME Correspondence School of Boxing. He sends for the lessons via air mail and receives an immediate response: boxing equipment and 10 recorded lessons on how to fight. After earning his diploma, Egghead challenges champ "Biff Stew" in the ring. He takes along his record player with the final lesson so that he will be sure and win. Biff Stew proceeds to beat him to a pulp.
