Davies, who wrote the marvelous script for MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET, came up with another winner here. Vernon, a chemist, is in love with Deborah Greenleaf (Peters), but has not popped the question because his meager salary wont support two. While developing a bug repellant for trees, he invents a solution that repels wood. A baseball fan of the first order, he concocts a clever scheme to earn additional money. Hell join a major league team as a pitcher, and secretly rub his solution on baseballs which will be repelled by the hitters wooden bats. He goes to a major league team and tries out. Naturally, the rookies scoff at the middle-aged man on the mound, but he miraculously strikes out every man he faces, his "screwball" hopping, bouncing, jerking, and flitting around the mightily swung bats. Vernon is signed as a starting pitcher and, using his secret solution, manages to win 38 games that season and almost single-handedly win the World Series for his team.
