A hotshot Broadway producer (Dick Powell), returns to his alma mater to help the kids put on a show. Ted Healy, minus the Stooges, plays Powell's sidekick, and Mabel Todd has a funny moment or two as a dizzy coed who improbably comes on to Healy. The elaborate dance number that wraps up the show could only be the work of Busby Berkeley.
