Ultimately he's selected to throw the hammer for Britain in the Olympics. On his way to Australia, he gets friendly with a Danish amazon, and when he wins the event, her congratulatory embrace is reported on the radio and listened to by his girl in Scotland, When he returns home, the girl is cool, but he wins her back. If all this sounds like a simple story, it's only because it is, in fact, the simplest of stories. But it is also a most engaging little yarn, and Bill Travers is, so amiable as the slow-witted athlete that it's hard to refrain from rooting for him, both when he's trying to win at the Olympics and when he's wooing his lass.

For the first time in his career, he decided to tie up a star contractually. She is now starring for him In "The Wrong Man" with Henry Fonda.
