Elmer, the Great

Elmer Kane (Joe E. Brown) is an arrogant but gullible baseball player who must leave his Gentryville sweetheart, Nellie (Patricia Ellis), to join the Chicago Cubs. Once on board, his teammates take advantage of his gullibility with practical jokes, and the management hides the letters that come from Nellie. When she comes to Chicago to see him play the World Series, a series of misunderstandings and bad judgments threatens to ruin both his love life and career.
