It turns out that a big fan, orphan girl Bridget White (Donna Corcoran), had prayed for help for the Pirates. While attending a game, Bridget insists that she can see the angels helping the players on the field. Newspaperwoman Jennifer Page (Janet Leigh) publishes Bridget's story, and complications arise big time between scheming sportscaster Fred Bayles (Keenan Wynn) and Guffy.
