A chemistry professor's boyhood dream comes true when he invents a substance that repels wood. When Vernon Simpson applies his magic formula to a baseball, no batter stands a chance of hitting it! With his new discovery, he tries out for the major leagues, and ends up as the St. Louis Cardinals' winning pitcher in the World Series. But Vernon also learns that an athlete's life is not all it's cracked up to be.
