Synopsis

Out in the bleachers of Chicago's hallowed Wrigley Field, a group of die-hard Cub fans root for their beloved team to beat the Cardinals. They include a rabid cheerleader, a blind man who follows the game by transistor radio and does his own play-by-play, a bathing beauty, a typical nerd and various other bleacher denizens. As the entire Cubs-cards game is played, we watch the bleacher bums place bets among themselves on every conceivable aspect of the game, go out for frosty malts or beers, try to pick up the bathing beauty, and occasionally watch the game.
