- Synopsis
- Basketball is Jack Hook’s game. He is never parted from his ball. As he says, “I sleep with it, and roll it and spin it.” Jack’s kid sister, Susie, wins a trip to Paris in the Glop Oil contest. But she blows it and gets the mumps. So Jack finds himself on the way to Paris for a week. Just before the plane leaves, Jack is asked to do a favor. Taking a cake to someone’s mother seems simple enough. Unfortunately, the cake contains grass. When Jack hears the whistles from the local police, he runs, dribbling all the way. Chasing him are two shady characters, Alphonse and Gaston, looking for the cake. Jack gets dumped in the middle of nowhere on a cold, dark night. Too late, he sees the edge of the mountain and over he falls—ball and all. He’s not sure but he thinks he may be dead when he meets his rescuer—the strange Dr. Stein. What’s even more strange is Dr. Stein’s “son,” Frank. Jack’s trip to Paris is anything but dull. He makes peculiar friends and sees the Eiffel Tower under unusual circumstances.
