Alibi Ike is a hilarious baseball comedy with the antics of Chicago Cubs pitcher Joe E. Brown. As the rookie sensation leads his team to victory, his penchant for making excuses tries the patience of his fiancee Olivia de Havilland (in her film debut) and manager William Frawley. But will a mix-up with gamblers bring Ike’s winning streak to an end?
