The story may have been influenced by real life story of actor/ballplayer Mike Donlin who was a baseball player while also being a Vaudevillian performer and later a film actor in early Hollywood. All of them must contend with a number of gangsters led by Joe Lorgan looking to win a big bet by impairing Eddie's play and causing him to be kicked off the team. Dennis falls for her, and then Eddie as well, while Dennis is the object of the affections of ardent fan Shirley Delwyn. The team's new owner is a woman named K.C. Two of the Wolves' players, Eddie O'Brien and Dennis Ryan, are also part-time vaudevillians. In 1908, the fictional Chicago Wolves start the season on the road against the Washington Senators, and later play the Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Athletics and Cleveland Indians, all American League teams.
