A small Texas college is accidentally picked to play football against Yale.

Basking in the chance to play against Yale, the football team is given a new coach (Jack Haley) who decides the team needs a little more talent. They enlist a farmer named Amos (Stuart Erwin), whose sister Sairy Dodd (Judy Garland) follows to the college in order to learn how to sing. Amos takes to a girl who diverts his attentions from the game and the rest of the cast conspires to get him back on track so they can beat Yale.
