Quarterback Ken Thomas, out with a knee injury, promises his girlfriend that he will not play. After she has a change of heart, thugs with money riding on the game kidnap Thomas. Can he escape and make it to the game in time? A cast of unknowns plus the 1937 USC team adorn this formulaic football drama/comedy.
