While scouting for football players, Howard Smith, a benefactor of Belford College, discovers Thomas "Cherub" Burke, the small but gifted running quarterback of a local prison team. Unsuccessful at impressing Tommy honestly, Smith fakes a tough attitude with him and, after securing an early parole, talks him into playing football for Belford as a way of scouting potential robbery victims. Tommy's rough, misanthropic manner clashes with the innocent life at Belford, and to keep him from quitting school, Smith and his coach enlist the help of Jane Thurston, a policeman's daughter who works in the registrar's office. Unaware of Tommy's past, Jane provides him with unconditional friendship and guidance. Still at odds with the world, however, Tommy tells Smith that he wants to leave Belford and join a gang in Philadelphia. Desperate, Smith introduces Tommy to his rich friends, the Fields, and entices him with their jewelry collection. Although Tommy leads Belford to an undefeated season, his newfound happiness is shattered when he overhears his roommate discussing the fact that Jane made friends with him only as a favor to Smith. After angrily confronting Jane, Tommy steals the Fields's jewels and makes plans to leave before the big game with State. By asking him to throw the game, Smith convinces Tommy to play, but after Tommy is elected team captain and hears the coach's inspiring pre-game talk, he decides to leave rather than throw the match or double-cross Smith. Tommy returns the Fields's jewels to Smith and heads for the train station, where his anxious behavior causes him to be arrested. Eventually Tommy is found and released and, after hearing Smith's explanations, returns to win the game for Belford.
