The Harlem Globetrotters

Thomas Gomez, Dorothy Dandridge, Bill Walker, Angela Clarke.

Young Bill Townsend drops out of college to join the famous independent Trotter team. He also finds romance along the way. "Goose" Tatum and fancy dribbler Marcus Haynes were the star players of the Globetrotters at the time and Abe Saperstein was the owner. Tatum, Haynes, Babe Presley, Ermer Robinson, Duke Cumberland, Clarence Wilson, Pop Gates, Frank Washington, Ted Strong and other team members appear in the film as themselves. Also featured is a lot of actual game footage (three times against Celtics with Tony Lavelli and Big Bob Hahn) including famous "Sweet Georgia Brown" warm-up routine.
