Steve (Red Skelton) pursues Caroline (Esther Williams) to a New Jersey all-girl college where he signs on as a student to be near her and win back her heart.
The film is basically a showcase for Red Skelton to put on some mimes and routines. Mixed in with this are some crappy musical numbers. The only musician to come away with any credibility is Harry James and his trumpet playing. The worst offender is Carlos Ramirez - a tenor who sings terrible songs and has no presence at all. Then there is crazy Ethel Smith and her weird organ-playing. Very odd. Unfortunately, Esther Williams isn't given enough to do as she plays second fiddle to Skelton. It's a shame coz she has good stage presence. Pity it's wasted on ridiculously lame water routines. It's a stupid story that is quite boring.
