Synopsis
Thomas Buchanan "Specs" White, a garage-owner in an Idaho village and star pitcher on the local ball team, devotes his spare time to the development of an improved gasoline pump. "Lefty" Murphy, a league scout from Los Angeles, offers Specs a position as pitcher, and Specs accepts. Though at first discouraged, Specs is spurred to success by a picture of the girl of his dreams in the newspaper, and manager Gilroy centers his hopes on the rookie pitcher. At his first game Specs suffers from "crowd fright," but the discovery that his girl is Alice Hobbs, owner of the club, adds impetus to his playing. She becomes disillusioned, thinking that Specs has surrendered to the proposal of some rival promoters, but at the last minute he proves his loyalty by blasting a home run.
