Jimmy « Dodge » Connelly, capitaine de l'équipe de football américain des Bulldogs, voit son équipe se dissoudre faute de sponsors... En 1925, ce sport, dans son aspect professionnel, ne fait pas encore l'unanimité et reste impopulaire aux États-Unis. Dodge se heurtant à une reconversion, décide de reformer les Bulldogs et de convaincre Carter Rutheford, joueur universitaire et héros de la Première Guerre mondiale. Mais la nouvelle recrue, malgré sa popularité croissante et celle de l'équipe, cache un lourd secret sur son héroïsme, secret qu'aimerait découvrir la journaliste Lexie Littleton, bientôt courtisée par Dodge et Carter. S'installe alors entre eux une rivalité, et entre jeu et amour, Dodge semble pouvoir en maîtriser les règles.
