In The Swinging Cheerleaders the coach of the Mesa State football team colludes with the college dean to throw the Big Game in order to make off with some sweet cash (and, he thinks, maybe some sweet ass).
Star quarterback, Buck Larson, refuses to sacrifice his team’s perfect season for a payoff. So, on the day of the game, a couple of crooked cops pull Buck over, plant a joint on him,
and take him to a warehouse where they force him to get drunk.
Luckily, he’s got Kate on his side: a student journalist who went undercover as a cheerleader in order to expose “Female Exploitation in Contemporary Society,” only to find that not all jocks are bad.
Kate rallies a posse of football players and cheerleaders to rescue Buck,
and gets him to the game in the fourth quarter, with his team trailing 13-0.
With some cheering pep, and a magically sober quarterback, Mesa State, we assume, goes on to victory.
The movie doesn’t actually give us the result. But a great movie doesn’t need to spell everything out for the audience.
