Clay Calhoun, as his name suggests,* looks like a solid Southern gentleman. A handsome 30-year-old with a fullback's build, he has a flourishing export-import business in New Orleans. He also has a millionaire father-in-law-hearty, red-faced William Stevens of Miami, a building contractor in Venezuela since the days of President Isaías Medina...
...Pilgrim, the mortgage foreclosure appears with all its hideous threats and Dorothy Lamour as the hapless victim. But a few enticing twists have been added.

Seaworthy once more, he played almost the full 60 minutes, backing up Navy's line, blocking ferociously, plunging through the enemy line on offense. It was all Bill Hawkins as Navy drove down the field in the closing minutes for the tying touchdown. Final score: Navy 21, Army 21. It was easily the upset of the year...
