The story

Alan Duckworth (known as 'Quack Quack' to his friends) is a socially awkward fourteen-year-old who is obsessed with cricket and Ann Lawton, a girl in his class. Alan daydreams throughout his day (often with a voiceover by cricket commentator John Arlott), showing up late for school and making little academic progress. He is friendly with the groundsman Tommy (Garry Cooper), whom he views as a hero, to Tommy's embarrassment.
