Middle-aged real estate agent Joe Boyd (played by Johnson Flucker) sells his soul to the devil, Mr. Applegate (Walter Cramer), for "one good Long ball hitter" for his team, the Washington Senators. Mr. Applegate grants his wish, turning him into a 22 year old sports superstar who must go back to his wife (Jeannine Gallmeyer) before 9 pm on the final game day if he doesn't want Mr. Applegate to get his soul.

The Warner Stage Company's production is directed by Vincent McCoy with musical director E. Karl Gallmeyer and choreographer Trisha Carr.
