The bubbly romance between a baseball star and a laundress goes down the drain when the slugger's love of chewing tobacco makes a mess of their relationship.

The plot is all about baseball, with, of course, a timely home run in the end, but it's all tied together with a gay romance and promises to show audience-holding strength.

As a film star, Babe (George Herman) Ruth, delivers almost as handily as on the diamond, which is saying much both ways for the King of Swat.

Like "Red" Grange, this other athletic marvel is surprisingly good as an actor. Perhaps the control of muscle and nerve they have learned in sport makes them unusually responsive in obeying film direction.

Anyway, Babe Ruth is a very, very fine ball player.
