Jack Haley is the new football coach at a small Texas university. His team is accidentally picked by powerhouse Yale to play in a charity game. When the star Texas quarterback gets hurt, by the coach's wife no less, they manage to find an Arkansas hick who can throw melons to step in and lead them to victory. The ridiculous plot is just an excuse for songs by The Yacht Club Boys and Judy Garland. However, they are upstaged by the unknown Robert McClung, a country bumpkin who can play harmonica with his nose and make barking noises at the same time.
