Eccentric multimillionaire Ezra Ounce (Hugh Herbert), whose main purpose in life is raising American morals through a nationwide campaign, wants to be assured that his fortune will be inherited by upstanding relatives, so he visits his cousin, Matilda Hemingway (Zasu Pitts) in New York City, in Horace's view the center of immorality in America. What Ounce finds most offensive are musical comedy shows and the people who put them on, and it just so happens that Matilda's daughter, Barbara (Ruby Keeler), is a dancer and singer in love with a struggling singer and songwriter, her 13th cousin, Jimmy Higgens (Dick Powell). On Ezra's instructions, Jimmy the "black sheep" has been ostracized by the family, on pain of not receiving their inheritance.

Plot: Jakarta 1 November, 2007. The Ball is Round is a soccer comedy for all ages that is set in BOLANESIA, a fictional land with events loosely based on the corrupt Indonesian league. The story tells the tale of two rivaling soccer teams. The expensively assembled BLACK BRIGADES, owned by Dam As "Abramovich" Lubis, a candidate in the coming governor election, and SAVAGE SHEEP FC, a privately owned club that relies on youth development. When the owner of the SAVAGE SHEEP FC died from a mid-game heart attack, the government sees it as the perfect opportunity to acquire Savage Sheep FC, allowing for a larger fan base and supporters for Dam As' political campaign. However, the attempted merger is thwarted when the estranged daughter of the Savage Sheep FC owner, decides to take over the team and continue her father's legacy. But being a female leader in a male dominant sport, especially in a patriarchal society like BOLANESIA was never going to be easy, the fans are against her, the media are against her, and even her coaches and playing staff are against her. The BALL IS ROUND tells the story of how she finds triumph in one of the funniest and unlikely football underdog story, filled with hilarious and exciting soccer sequence.

We're in the money,
We're in the money;
We've got a lot of what it takes to get along!
We're in the money,
The sky is sunny;
Old Man Depression, you are through,
You done us wrong!
We never see a headline
'Bout breadline, today,
And when we see the landlord,
We can look that guy right in the eye .
We're in the money
Come on, my honey
Let's spend it, lend it,
Send it rolling around!

Gone are my blues,
And gone are my tears;
I've got good news
To shout in your ears.
The silver dollar has returned to the fold,
With silver you can turn your dreams to gold.
