Synopsis:
College students Biff and Eddie are the best of friends until they both fall for
the same girl. Their battle for the affection of Babs effects not only their
friendship but their chances for a victory on the football field. This lightweight
early talkie has a thin plot, lots of silliness and a few musical numbers thrown in
(usually featuring Cliff "Ukele Ike" Edwards.) Although Three Live Ghosts was
released first, this was Montgomery's first film. Be sure to keep an eye out for
young Joel McCrea who has a small, uncredited role.
