This is a delightful musical short that shows what a wonderful talent Lillian Roth possessed. Lillian made quite a few of these shorts at various stages in her career. This one, set on a river with college co-eds, was at the start of her career to showcase her singing talents. Norman Taurog directed and he was at the start of a long directorial career.
It starts off with a glee club of college boys (accompanying themselves on various instruments, including kazoos) singing "I Got it Bad but It Don't Do Me No Good". Talk then turns to Lillian and her love for Jimmy. Everyone goes on the lake but Lillian, who sings the soulful "Sort of Lonesome". She is then joined by the elusive Jimmy (who turns out to be a dork with a receding hairline!!!!) She sings the madcap "Just Like Jimmy and Me".
