Colt and Howie’s pro-football cousin and two teammates are kidnapped by corrupt Army Master Sergeant, Beauregard Gleason and forced to play on his ragtag football team. When Colt and Howie go looking for their missing cousin, they end up in the same fix. They discover that Gleason is running a business supplied with stolen government merchandise and that he is using his kidnapped recruits to help him win a game that will enable him to expand his operation to other bases.
On a particularly dark and stormy night, some of the guys kick back over a game of cards to fantasize about how different their lives might have been had they pursued professional interests other than football.
