Blatty’s satirical comedy plays with Cold War anxieties by riffing on a real May 1960 incident involving John “Wrong-Way” Goldfarb, a former college football star who once ran 95 yards for a touchdown in the wrong direction. Now a U-2 pilot, his plane malfunctions and crashes in the mythical Arab kingdom of Fawz.

Facing a diplomatic bind, the kingdom’s leader threatens to hand Goldfarb over to the Soviets unless he agrees to coach a team. Jenny Ericson, a magazine journalist on undercover assignment as a member of the king’s harem, discovers that her assumption about the king’s romantic life may be mistaken, and she seeks help from Goldfarb.

In a bid to leverage the crisis, the King pressures the U.S. State Department into arranging an exhibition football game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and his own team from Fawz University. Jenny becomes a cheerleader and later the quarterback who scores the winning touchdown for Fawz University.
