A Wild Whirl of Wacky Fun!

John Goldfarb, Please Come Home!

An infamous football player-turned-U2 pilot, crash-lands in the fictional Middle Eastern nation of Fawzia, whose ruler presents the American with an ultimatum: either coach the football team the king is assembling for his son - who was cut by Notre Dame - or prepare for a trip to the USSR. The king then informs the US State Department that if it still wants to have a military base in his country, Notre Dame will have to take on his team in Fawzia. An international crisis brews when the Notre Dame players refuse to lie down in the climactic game, but a luscious female reporter who has joined the king's harem to do a story and who has fallen for Goldfarb, comes up with an unexpected resolution to the problem.
