Larry Haines (Edward J. Nugent) is the school’s track champion. The “Big Man on Campus”, his success goes straight to his head. His friends, Spec Early (Sterling Holloway), Bobby Barnes (Arthur Lake), and his girlfriend Gwen (Mary Carlisle), get fed up with him, and his swollen head.
They decide that he needs to get his big head deflated; so, they rig the “Joe Senior” college contest, so Larry comes in second. They make sure Don Cooper (Lon Chaney Jr.) wins; and, he begins to go out with Gwen, much to the dismay of his own steady girlfriend Mary (Gigi Parrish).
It soon becomes clear that Mary’s not the only thing Don’s forgotten about. It looks like both Don and Larry are in such a muddle they, and, their school, are going to lose the track meet. Once again, it’s up to the girls to sort out the mess, and spur them on to victory.

I love this movie!!!! is very beautiful
What a treat to see Sterling Holloway, on-screen early in his career, before Winnie-the-Pooh, Kaa, and so many other animated characters. Also, Arthur Lake before he became popular as Dagwood Bumstead in the "Blondie" series.
I didn't like this one, but it has a lot of camp value and was entertaining, anyway. Larry Talbot Sings!!!! Well, they did whatever the studios told them to do back then.
O.K. not a classic film but a fun time watching a young Sterling , Arthur (Dagwood) Lake and pretty buff looking Lon Cheney Jr. (Frankenstein and wolf man)was he credited as Creighton?
How about hearing Creighton Chaney, AKA Lon Chaney Jr. singing? I'll not remember "The Wolf Man" in quite the same way again. 🙂
