Eight Men Out
Buck Weaver and Hap Felsch are young idealistic players on the Chicago White Sox, a pennant-winning baseball team owned by Charles Comiskey — a penny-pinching, hands-on manager who underpays his players and treats them with disdain. And when gamblers and hustlers discover that Comiskey's demoralised players are ripe for a money-making scheme, one by one the team members agree to throw the World Series. But when the White Sox are defeated, a couple of sports writers smell a fix and a national scandal explodes, ripping the cover off America's favourite pastime.
