The Rose Bowl Story

At a Midwestern college, football quarterback and team captain Steve Davis makes a heroic last-minute touchdown, which ensures that his team is eligible for the Rose Bowl tournament. When the team finally reaches Pasadena, they are greeted by the Tournament of Roses committee, who have planned the parade and festivities that accompany the Rose Bowl game.
The boys, however, are more interested in the Rose Bowl Queen and her court. Steve singles out princess Denny Burke. Somehow, Sally takes Steve to the empty stadium, but is disillusioned to hear that he does not really like football. Later, she tells him that the Rose Bowl is a proud tradition, not a mere game, and invites him to spent New Year's Eve with her family the following night. At the train station days later, Sally introduces Allie to Raymond, a hulking, jealous football player, and Allie races away in fear. Steve, however, predicts that playing in the Rose Bowl will be as big a thrill for Raymond as it was for him.
