A college football team's fortunes are ruined by ruthless management and internal betrayal.
McGloin acquires the college mortgage and radically transforms the football roster by hiring street toughs and nightclub performers.
The team prepares for the season finale while underlying fractures begin to surface among the players and coaching staff.
The quarterback secretly sells the playbook to the rivals, causing immediate tactical collapse and on-field disorder.
Violence erupts with drawn weapons and a thrown bomb, culminating in the total destruction of both teams' vehicles.
Gambler/racketeer "Knucks" McGloin takes note of just how much money and action (aside from the game itself) takes place around and about the annual Rose Bowl football game, and decides this is one sweet proposition and could be even sweeter if one had his own college and football game and had a large say beforehand as to the outcome of any game this team had. So he ups and creates his own college---Carnasie after his own neighborhood. His gangster rival. Gilatti, thinks this give McGloin a definite inside advantage and, if there is one thing a gambler can't abide, it is that someone has an inside advantage and they are not that someone. Gilatti gets himself a college football team. Education marches on.
