very musical announcer introduces us to the Battling Bruisers, the team on his right; and on his left, "the greatest team the world has ever seen: Buddy and his Bearcats." The game begins, narrated by a parody of Joe E. Brown on a radio station KFWB (not to be confused with KFWB in Los Angeles), who swallows a ball thrown, in his direction from a foul ball, by Buddy. Meanwhile, Buddy rubs his hands with dirt; a Bruiser squirts oil under his arms and throws a pitch to Buddy, who then hits the ball and runs (and skates) to second base for a double. The fans are very pleased. In the next scene, Buddy plans to wind the ball up like a toy to trick the Bruiser, then throws the tricky ball to a Bruiser, who can not seem to hit it but inside injures the catcher on accident; he slams down his bat, blows air (through a bug spray apparatus) at the ball that it falls (as would a dying fly), and simply picks it up, tosses it into the air, and hits it. An outfielder immediately catches the ball in deep left with a mechanical glove. Afterward, the radio announcer yells in front of the microphone, and the camera zooms up inside his mouth at the same time. Meanwhile, in the top half of the ninth, the score, as we see in the next scene, stands at forty-nine to forty-seven. The people want Buddy! But Our Hero, behind the scenes, is all too nervous to emerge and play; alone, he genuflects, and appears, for a moment, to pray. Cookie approaches him inside the bullpen and tells him of the great clamor for him from the spectators: Buddy is bashfully convinced. Buddy gladly takes the bat from another player (who looks like a taller, balder version of Buddy), hits a ball thrown by a maniacally laughing, mustachioed Bruiser, and runs about the diamond, cheered on by Cookie, who stands at the base. The game is won, and the two sweethearts, embracing, are buried in a deluge of the hats of happy fans.
