Plot

Steve Novak, a boy from a small mill town, decides to go to a college in Virginia to play football. He becomes a star player as a freshman, but hears stories of teammates receiving money for their play.

Steve falls for Melissa, the daughter of one of the school's rich benefactors. When he suffers injuries on the field, Steve realizes that a college education will mean more to his future than football will. He also tries to win Melissa's love, over her father's strong objections.
