When not playing baseball, Frank romances Dolly (Olivia de Havilland) who is the sister-in-law of his coach, Cap (William Frawley). When Dolly breaks up with him, Frank is upset, loses the next game, and goes into a slump. Now, gamblers want Frank to throw a game and kidnap him when they learn that he is double-crossing them. Frank escapes in an ambulance and drives onto the ball field in time to pitch and hit a home run to win the big game–and Dolly.    2 User Reviews

The Mandarin Mystery   1936     1 and a half stars    N/R, 65 min.
Genre: Mystery
Director: Ralph Staub  
Cast: Eddie Quillan, Charlotte Henry, Rita La Roy, Wade Boteler, Franklin Pangborn, George Irving, Kay Hughes, William Newell, George Walcott, Edwin Stanley, Edgar Allen, Bert Roach

  The popular hero of mystery novels, Ellery Queen, is brought to the screen with Eddie Quillan in the role of the sleuth. He sets out to recover a valuable Mandarin stamp that has been stolen and to solve murders that occurred during the heist. Even though Quillan had the same initials as Ellery Queen, he just didn't seem to fit the role–especially when the film was played more for laughs than for the mystery. No further Ellery Queen films were made until four years later.
