Plot

Bobo, the elephant mascot for the Sweetwater Shnooks baseball team, steps up when his teammates are knocked out by the Greenville Goons who resort to dirty tactics during the game. Despite protests, Bobo is allowed to play and astonishingly leads his team to victory with a final score of 168 runs to the Goons' 167.
