A chemistry professor (Ray Milland) creates a substance that prevents baseballs from coming in contact with bats, and soon finds himself in cleats and a uniform, pitching and winning in the major leagues. A pleasant, unpretentious baseball fantasy with nice work by Milland in a role that seems tailor-made for Jimmy Stewart.
