Hooray for Mr. Touchdown

A Prohibition era football hero is the unwitting pawn in a bookmaking scheme as a love-struck coed and an enterprising reporter seek to exploit him in mutually exclusive ways. His preoccupation with the meaning of existence matches him with an eccentric physics professor whose experiments cause him to dematerialize whenever he is aroused in any way. All of these disparate interests miraculously come together to thwart the efforts of bookmaking gangsters intent on fixing the big game.

Heaven Can Wait

Joe Pendleton is a quarterback preparing to lead his team to the superbowl when he is almost killed in an accident. An overanxious angel plucks him to heaven only to discover that he wasn't ready to die, and that his body has been cremated. A new body must be found, and that of a recently-murdered millionaire is chosen. His wife and accountant—the murderers—are confused by this development, as he buys the L.A. Rams in order to once again quarterback them into the Superbowl.
