Taxi Dancer

A down-on-his-luck boxer, Jake, is offered a deal by a shady businessman: if he can win his next fight, his gambling debts will be cleared. The catch is that Jake must also entertain the businessman's mistress, a sultry lounge singer named Veronica, by taking her to and from her performances as a 'taxi dancer'. As Jake gets closer to Veronica, he finds himself torn between his career, his debts, and his growing feelings for her.
