The story follows a group of small-town high-school chums who organize a baseball team and confront local rivalries and bullying while one member, Hugh, takes on the responsibility of uncovering the truth about a newcomer suspected because of his grandfather's past. Episodes move from team practice and social hops to a roadside confrontation with the town bully, a mill-pond rescue, and a trap that tests loyalty and courage.
