Synopsis

Axel Bronstrup, a lazy student at Pelham, is induced by Helen Fry of Miss Twill's School for Girls to play football, while Barbara Pell, a chorus girl, wants Biff Bentley to marry her and go into show business. She is aided in her elopement plans by Tap-Tap Thompson, but Biff is persuaded to stay in school by the football coach. Embittered, Nancy goes to New York, only to find she has inherited property, including the school; and Thompson, liking school life, enrolls at Pelham and falls for Helen. The school stages a welcome for Barbara, the new owner, and Thompson sings "Alma Mammy"; but she orders an English exam and rules that athletes who flunk will be barred from the forthcoming game. Biff fails but is given another chance, and he and Axel are the heroes for the victorious Pelham.
