Two rookie pitchers from the minor league Farmers, Dizzy and Daffy Dean, are recruited for the St. Louis Cardinals and take their pitching coach 'Lefty' Howard (Shemp) along for the ride. The Deans soon lead the Cardinals into the World Series against the Detroit Tigers.
Superior solo Shemp. He's hilarious as the Farmers' half-blind pitcher. Dizzy and Daffy Dean star! And, Roscoe Ates as a stuttering umpire and radio play-by-play announcer.
