There is a college football game coming up at Tait college and the team captain and star player Stanley Smith (Tom) has dunced out in his exams which means he needs to take a re-test and pass Astronomy or he won't get to play and the college will undoubtedly lose the match. His girlfriend Lola Lane (Pat) fixes it so that her cousin Mary Lawlor (Connie) studies with him to ensure that he passes. Big mistake.

It's a college-based musical with some amusing sequences coming courtesy of students Bessie Love (Babe) and Gus Shy (Bobbie) who also dance and sing. The musical dance numbers are entertaining, and they include 2 chorus numbers led by student Penny Singleton (Flo). Unfortunately, the final dance sequence is missing but we are provided with title cards explaining what happens at the film's end. I quite like this as it gives the film a mysterious quality. I wonder what that musical finale was like?

The best in the cast are Bessie Love who is very funny - her dialogue delivery is hilarious, and she works well with Gus Shy, who also gets to deliver some entertaining dialogue. Cliff Edwards also shows up with his ukulele and Al Norman crops up in a dance sequence where he gets to show off his rubber legs and comic dance moves.
