Plot

Frank Maguire is an ace ballplayer whose error costs the Brooklyn team the pennant and his place in the lineup. Though still reviled by the fans, seven years later the team owner brings him back as its manager. He takes charge of the team and whips them into contention. The players resent Maguire's drill-sergeant tactics, and when Maguire falls in love with the pretty, new owner of the team Kathryn Baker, the players use this as an excuse to circulate a petition demanding Maguire's ouster. The manager changes their minds with a speech about how they owe the fans their best effort and leads his team to a league pennant.^[2]
