Tommy tells his friend and non-playing teammate Bobby Turner that the trick to attracting girls is to show no interest ("Be a Ladies' Man").

At a sorority party, snobby new student Pat McClellan resists an overly-confident Tommy's advances, cutting him down to size ("Lucky in Love").

Meanwhile, Connie's roommate Babe Doolittle wants to leave a relationship with jealous football player Beef so she can get involved with Bobby Turner.

At the local soda shop, Tommy's newly learned French fails to impress Pat, who is with Peter.

Tommy is failing French and begs for help from a reluctant Connie - he belatedly realizes his true feelings for her, though Pat has pressured him into proposing.

Connie fears Pat will wind up with him, but piques Tommy's jealousy when he sees her with Peter Van Dyne at the after-game dance.

The film was originally planned for Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland as a follow-up to their success in 1939's "Babes in Arms".
