Twice each day Rocky stops at the neighborhood pet shop to crack a joke, trying to get the attentions of Adrian, an unmarried, unsought "loser" who stands without a word, feeding the caged birds. "Hey, I hear she's a retard," the loan shark's driver mocks Rocky. But under the fighter's clumsy, tender patience, Adrian emerges from behind her harlequin glasses as an appealing, attractive woman. "I always knew you was beautiful," Rocky whispers. With a sharp jab from the left, Rockybecomes a love story...
