The story

Film star Ted Crosley is fed up with Hollywood and quits the movies to enroll in college under an assumed name. While Ted struggles to fit in on campus and tries out for the football team, his frustrated manager Sam Lewis and Lewis's sidekick Willie Gumbatz try to have him expelled from the college so he can resume his Hollywood career. Radio's Professor Quiz is teaching a special course on campus, giving Lewis the idea to promote Crosley's campus activities on network radio.
