An ex football player Paul Crewe (Reynolds) spirals out after being caught shaving points to gamble on games. Some bad choices lead to Crewe getting sent to prison where the warden has his eye on him to coach their semi pro team. After refusing, at the lead guards forceful request, crewe finds himself in the dregs of the prison workforce. Finally the warden decides to use him in a different capacity and tasks him with putting together an all inmate football team to play a tune up game with the guards. Through trials and tribulations, Crewe gets his team together and puts the guards through their paces in an all out roughed out guard on inmate football game.
