Discovered pitching in the small town Of Wagner, Texas, Monty is coached by a washed out ball player, Frank Morgan. When Monty is ready for bigger game, the . two strike out for California,'' and Monty does the rest himself. Signed to a contract by the White Sox, he docs u thorough job of wgrming the bench. He; does worse on a blind date with June Ailyson, and even though he appears to be u “creep," he makes it to first >,base. Later he scores a home j run, and the two are ^-married. Making jthe most ; of a second chance, Monty rises to fame in the A,meritan League, as a star pitcher. All this is interrupted when he ajccidentally shoots him self, tvhile hunting on his farm.
