Monty and his infant son learn to walk together when the father determines to master his new artificial limb.

Unknown to his family, Monty accepts an invitation to pitch in a post season, All-Star game. Encouraged by his team-mates and the fans, he overcomes a shaky start and goes on to pitch in winning form. He leaves the field "a living proof of what a man can do if he has the courage not to admit defeat/' This film was prepared by a committee of the American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation.
