Tom Stephens, a well-known athlete at a small town college, transfers to Farnsworth University, where he becomes reacquainted with the landlady's daughter, Marilyn--a girl he earlier rescued from the manhandling of collegian Frank Preston. Frank assures his friends that the country "hick" will never make varsity quarterback, and at a school dance Frank makes fun of Tom's poor dancing, though this ridicule does not weaken Tom's popularity with Marilyn and her flirtatious friend Ruth. Soon Tom becomes first choice for varsity quarterback, and Frank inflicts an injury on Tom during practice, then plants liquor in Tom's locker, causing him to be disqualified; but he is reprieved in time to participate in the game. As the result of a trick instigated by Frank, Tom fails to appear initially, but he does arrive in time to tie the score. After recovery from a knockout, he leads the team to victory and is happily united with Mary and his mother.

Such a terrible sounding storyline.
