Golf meets baseball in this comedy that tells the story of Anthony (Babe) Lombardo, a has-been professional baseball player who was only moderately famous. During his career, the now middle-aged Babe earned several fortunes but enthusiastically lost them all on bad business enterprises. Now he is deeply indebted to the IRS and in desperate need of quick cash. He has nowhere to turn as his hard-working wife has grown tired of the get-rich-quick schemes and his best friend, Lou, a prominent used car dealer, refuses to loan him another dime. Things look bleak until Babe develops a radical new golf swing. Everyone around encourages him to use the swing in pro golf tourneys where he could win a bundle, but unfortunately, Babe has other ideas, including the making of an instructional video. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

A small town gas station in Texas provides the setting for this comedy drama by cult-movie maker Eagle Pennell. The station is run by Doc, an easy going guy, who is married to a most unpleasant wife who is having an open affair with a used-car salesman. Doc turns his eye upon the cute little barbecue stand owner down the street and begins dreaming of escape. Much of the film focuses upon the many people who frequent Doc's station, but seldom buy a thing. Other characters include Pee Wee, Big Silly and Little Silly, and Cecil. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
