Warning: Spoilers
Starts off with Columbia University football team being welcomed by Busby Berkeley's chorus girls - Ginger Rogers is made their mascot and Ricardo Cortez plays ball with Cliff (?) Montgomery. They then visit the "Wonder Bar" set - where the commentator lets fly with some witticisms.

Dick Powell, Margaret Lindsay and Guy Kibbee visit a local goldmine.

Joan Blondell sends a message to fans who sent letters and gifts to her in her recent "illness".

The main purpose was to promote "Harold Teen" and introduce two of the young stars of the film - Patricia Ellis and Hal LeRoy. Sammy Fain and Irving Kahan are seen at the piano, playing "How Do I Know It's Sunday" - one of the hits of the film. Patricia and Hal amble in after some horseplay outside with a cameraman and are introduced. Patricia sings "Like Two Little Flies on a Lump of Sugar" in a very sweet voice. Hal is then coaxed to dance to "Simple and Sweet" and dance he does. He is really an outstanding dancer but if the short subject showed his "screen personality" truthfully, it is easy to see why he wasn't successful in feature films. He comes across as a bumbling yokel.
