The small Catholic school St. Anthony's College is in financial trouble and in danger of closing; the college's rector Charles Coburn asks down-and-out football coach John Wayne to breathe life into the football team and save the college. Wayne initially refuses but accepts after a social worker starts poking her nose into his affairs, pressured by an ex-wife who could actually care very little about the welfare of their young daughter.
