It was the last of Garland and Rooney's nine movies as co-stars, the pair appearing only once more together on film, as guest stars in 1948's Words and Music.

In hopes that isolation from girls will help Junior concentrate on his studies, Churchill senior takes Danny out of Yale University and packs him off to the all-male Cody College of Mines and Agriculture somewhere deep in the saguaroed American West.

Walking endless miles from the train depot to the isolated college he meets Ginger Gray, the local postmistress and favorite of all the students.

Though he is initially not pleased with what he finds at the school, including the primitive facilities, rough-riding, and practical-joking fellow students, he eventually settles in - and resumes pitching woo at Ginger.

Using his father's name, Danny wheedles his way into seeing the state governor, and extracts a one-month reprieve to boost applications and avoid a shuttering.

Danny divines that an Old West show that crowns a "Queen of the Rodeo" will attract not only desired attention but that of the fairer sex.

Tommy Dorsey's band is engaged to play and the event is a success, but Danny crowns the governor's daughter Queen instead of Ginger.

[1] An additional production number, "Bronco Busters", which was sung by Garland, Rooney and Nancy Walker, was cut from the film.

The earlier, also called Girl Crazy, was released by RKO in 1932, and starred Bert Wheeler, Robert Woolsey and Dorothy Lee.
