Kaimynai tik kraipė galvas ir pranašavo bankrotą, kai Rėjus Kinsela, vieną vakarą išgirdęs keistus balsus, nusprendė vietoj kukurūzų lauko įrengti beisbolo aikštę. Kas galėjo bent pagalvoti, kad į šią aikštę susirinks žaisti legendiniai praeities beisbolininkai - Čikagos "Blek Soks", 1919 metais gėdingai diskvalifikuota komanda, neva tyčia pralošusi pasaulio čempionatą. Niekas, išskyrus Rėjaus šeimą, nemato lauke nė gyvos dvasios… O čia kasdien vyksta kuo įnirtingiausios varžybos. Rėjui užeina labai sunkūs laikai, nes kukurūzų laukas, paverstas beisbolo arena, negali duoti jokio pelno…

Frustrated by the hypocrisy they see in their parents, teachers, and the entire school board, an unlikely trio set out to find a common truth and make their voices heard as they revive a defunct school club and take on the world.
In recent years, more than 2,500 books have been removed from school districts around the US, labeled as banned, restricted, or challenged, and made unavailable to millions of students. By no accident, the themes targeted are the usual scapegoats of the American Right—LGBTQ+ issues, Black History, and women’s empowerment—impeding the power of future generations to develop their own thoughts and opinions on critical social issues. By weaving together a lyrical montage of young readers and authors, THE ABCs OF BOOK BANNING reveals the voices of the impacted parties, and inspires hope for the future through the profound insights of inquisitive youthful minds.
Herschell Gordon Lewis and David Friedman collaborated on this nudie classic that features the stunning Rusty Allen as a teacher who must defend herself against the school board after they find her naked in a nudist colony's magazine. Allen argues that the sun is a source of happiness and morality. The institute's lawyer decides to investigate for himself, and soon everyone is swimming, playing volleyball, and more, all sans clothes.
