Barney Gorman gets a chance to play for the Philadelphia Eagles as their brand new place kicker and does exceptionally well making field goals till he is pressured by a game winning kick that he misses. He also becomes spoiled from all the money he gets, forgetting his family and friends. Everything goes wrong from there: he gets kicked out the house, his friends and the whole town burn his posters, and he loses his job as kicker.
