College scandal turns football hero Johnny Mack Brown to a goal-less street tramp. He runs into an old flame whose influence gets him a pro football contract. Will he learn from past mistakes and make good? Not if the big boys have their say. That is pretty much it in this practically plot less movie where you keep waiting for something to happen that never does. Brown's athletic prowess is used to good advantage but other than a few good lines, it is a dull game. Leading ladies Jeanette Loft and Roberta Gale are dull beautiful blocks of ice. The only amusing character is a ballsy older woman, a sort of combination of Sophie Tucker and Texas Guinan who runs a cabaret. Her brief appearance has more heat than the other hour.
