If anyone missed the other performances of Elmer they may be surprised to find Joe E. Brown actually playing straight in this one; a task seemingly impossible for Hollywood comedians, but one which adds a great deal to the pleasure of the audience.

So when the Chicago Cubs attempts to sign him to a contract, Elmer refuses if it means leaving Nellie (Patricia Ellis), the woman he loves.

But when gamblers try to get him to throw the Series. Elmer must find a way to outsmart the crooks if he's to win both his girl and the games.
