Mel is a local rich guy whose son Nelson is always being intimidated by the other kids. One day, Gus and Clark rescue Nelson from a bunch of young baseball bullies. When Max tells his father Mel, he makes Gus, Clark and Richie a proposition: He will put up the money for them to travel and play in a tournament against other baseballers as a way of helping his son and other outcasts like him to revenge against the bullies.
