While pretending to know Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris, Hutch Lawton's (Bryan Russell) lie snowballs and he is forced into promising to deliver the New York Yankee sluggers to a Little League banquet. Afraid to discuss his predicament with his widower-father, Ken, or his prospective stepmother, Johanna Price (Patricia Barry), Hutch runs away to the Yankee's Florida training camp. In the team's locker room, he explains his problem to Mantle and Maris. When they refuse to cooperate, the heartbroken youngster returns home to face the music. However, as Hutch is breaking the bad news to the disappointed Little Leaguers and their dads, Maris, Mantle, and Yankee coach Bill Turner (William Frawley) arrive to invite them all to spring training.
