The Globetrotters are on their way to an All-Star game, when the bus gets a flat tire. In attempting to fix it, “Geese” Ausbie sprains his wrist and has to go to the hospital. At the same hospital, a magician finds out, on the news, the trained boxing kangaroo he rented out to two men, Lefty and Louis Callahan, was used in a jewelry store robbery.

The gang volunteers to take the place of a football team that can’t make it to a charity game that benefits poor kids, and end up getting embroiled in a plot to steal the game’s proceeds.
