In his latest crowd-pleasing escapade, we find lovably zany Ernest P. Worrell (Jim Varney) struggling to make the cut on his buddies' fast-running city league team. But when the Basketball Angel (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) steps in to lend him a pair of magic shoes, Ernest goes from benchwarmer to king of the court in a thrilling game against the NBA's Charlotte Hornets! (official distributor synopsis)
