The Basketball Fix background

The Basketball Fix

A college basketball sensation is corrupted by organized crime, engaging in point shaving, but a determined sportswriter works to salvage his career and reputation.

A high-school basketball star, Johnny Long, receives a full-ride scholarship to a college, but struggles with financial constraints as his scholarship only covers expenses, not cash. He's tempted by a gambler's offer to alter the outcome of games in exchange for a large sum of money, but ultimately regrets his decision as his conscience is plagued by the consequences.
