Synopsis

Jim Crane, football hero at Stanton, has too high an opinion of himself. Unknown to him, classmate Mae Ellis is desperately in love with him as the result of helping him with his studies. During a particularly crucial game, Jim scores a spectacular victory, and falling under the influence of a group of lionizing New Yorkers, he meets Doris Ward and her wealthy husband, Peter, of Wall Street, who urge him to sell bonds after graduation--which he does. Later, Ward encounters Mae, now a hotel telegrapher, and offers her a job in his office. Upon finding that Jim works there, she accepts. Jim is a failure as a bond salesman, antagonizing everyone he meets. However, at a Long Island party, Ward gets the idea of having him sell fraudulent stock to women, but with Mae's help he extricates himself from amusing complications.
