- Summary:
- Matchmaking mama: Social climbing Mrs. McNitt is determined to destroy the budding romance between millionaire scion Larry Lodge and sweet Sally. McNitt has earmarked the hand of the eligible young bachelor for her sexy daughter, Phyllis. This hilarious short features a ravishing young Carole Lombard and wild scenes with the Sennett Bathing Beauties. The campus vamp: A concerned mother admonishes her young bookworm daughter Sally that she had better "sex-up" her act if she is to have any chance of landing handsome bachelor Matty. Mother then proceeds to instruct Sally on how to be a vamp. The relay: When the freshman girls beat the sophomores in the big relay, resentment builds on the campus. At the big dance, tension between the classes erupts into an all-out melee that won't end until nubile young coeds are hurled into swimming pools!
