Artificial Turf is a comedy of the good old days of football heroes, beauty queens, pompous professors, and the first signs of womens lib. Brilliant halfback Dane McLane longs to be All-American. His coach, the Big Bad Wolf, longs to coach in the NFL and is married to a psychic/astrologer who can predict his wins and lossesbut wont tell. He turns to the speech-writing professor William the Punctuator to help him upgrade his image and totally forgets to give McLane the ball. The reluctant beauty queen, Dwight D. Mankiewtiz, renamed Dede Brown by her overly sexual campaign manager, meets Dane and helps him plot to attract the attention of the press (plan A), change the coachs game plan (plan B), and change the game of football (plan C) forever. In the end, everyones dreams come true with a little manipulation here and there.
