The story starts with Mike, a carpenter who's been out of work for a while. He wants to give his son, Cam, a cool birthday present, but all he can afford is a 78-cent cardboard box from a mysterious old man with a lazy eye named Old Man Gideon. Mike and Cam make the most of the lame birthday present by cutting and pasting the box into the shape of a cardboard boxer – who magically comes to life. The worst present in the history of birthdays quickly becomes the coolest birthday present in the history of the universe.
