 The film portrays Ayub Kalule, the boxer from Uganda who was "the most famous guest worker in Denmark" in the late 1970s. The film opens on a deserted, floodlit boxing ring, and on the soundtrack the buzz of the spectators can be heard. Then Kalule is introduced by the narrator, and the film comprises four blocks: an interview with the subject, scenes from the gym (including an interview with trainer Børge Krogh) and extensive reports from Kalule s two bouts in 1977 and 1978 against the powerful Americans Paladin and Seales. In the fourth, final block Sugar Ray Seales talks about his defeat by Kalule and the latter s prospects in the ring. The two dramatic bouts are shot by two cameras from low, close angles by the ringside. Leth comments on the visuals in a matter-of-fact narrative in continuation of the acute, sober commentary to En forårsdag i Helvede.
