Synopsis:
Washington Senators fan Joe Boyd sells his soul to the devil, Mr. Applegate, to become the greatest baseball player ever and to help his favorite team win the pennant. However, doing this means Joe must leave his beloved wife, Meg, and it's not easy on him. Whenever he poses as a boarder to get closer to her, Applegate must enlist the help of his favorite seductive helper, Lola. But not even Lola's charms can woo Joe. Soon, she finds herself falling for him, but pledges to be his friend. Joe and Applegate make a contract allowing him out of the deal at a certain time, but the devil makes sure that Joe doesn't get out. When Lola finds out about this, she slips him four sleeping pills so he can sleep through the game the next day, allowing Joe to help the Senators win the pennant. However, Satan awakes, and after turning Lola into an old hag, turns Joe back into an old man on the field. Joe returns to his wife, ignoring the temptuous offers of Applegate for the World Series & Lola.
