Ann Casey, a softball player, responds to a newspaper advertisement looking for models at a photography studio because she is sick of wearing activewear and wants to wear something more elegant. While in line, a reporter named Jimmy Jones diverts her, costing Ann the job inadvertently.
While she returns to playing softball, Jimmy thinks there might be a story in the team. He finds its owner is a gangster, Foy Harris, then stumbles into a diabolical murder plot involving Foy being disguised as a woman on the team. Foy first kills his partner, then, because she knows too much, murders player Sue Collins by poisoning the laces of her catcher's mitt.
Ann ends up hiding in Foy's closet, in danger of her life, then used as a hostage before Jimmy arrives to save her, just in time.
