Synopsis
A new college student copies the mannerisms of a movie hero, certain that they will make him popular. His classmates quietly turn him into a joke, while only a young woman outside their social circle offers honest friendship. Joining the football squad becomes his next attempt to belong and an unexpected chance to prove himself on his own terms.
Cast
Historical context
Harold Lloyd's comedy makes the desire for acceptance both its emotional subject and the source of its embarrassment. The gap between the student's imagined popularity and his actual treatment gives the final sporting opportunity meaning beyond a conventional winning-the-game story.
