The pitching skills of small-town fireman Smokey Joe Grant (Joe E. Brown) got him a major league offer from the St. Louis Cardinals...but his heart remained in the engine house, and getting to the World Series was secondary to getting patents on his screwball firefighting devices. Between his lack of focus--and a gold digger (Lilian Bond) out to steal him from his hometown girl (Evalyn Knapp)--will his career in the bigs get snuffed out? Signature jock comedy for the Big Mouth co-stars Guy Kibbee. 66 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
