...Rhapsody concerns itself with the problems of Lodar Baron (Louis Calhern), a Hungarian composer who still harbors a persecution fixation, brought on during the War by a brutal sergeant in his regiment.

He fought back till the fifth round, the most brutal ever seen in a San Francisco ring, when Baer propped him. semiconscious, against the ropes and hit him at will for some time without interference from the referee. When Baer's blows slowed to the extent of allowing him to fall, Campbell slipped forward on his side...
