Story
Slats, his sister Molly and Oliver work in the dance hall. Slats is also engaged in advertising. In one of the magazines, he publishes a photograph of his sister. He comes up with a caption for the photo: "I am saving money to go to Bixby, the college of my dreams." Dean of Bixby College, accidentally reading this note, finds Molly and offers her a scholarship and the opportunity to study at the "College of her dreams." He also promises there the work of assistant rangers for Slats and Oliver. Since the duo has problems with the law (stealing a police car), they agree and all three go to college for girls.
Kirkland College Board Chairman is not happy with giving scholarships to anyone and requires the dean to remove Molly's “girl from the picture.” The dean cannot give in to his superiors and stands his ground. Then Kirkland decides to get rid of the dean at the same time, who, among other things, likes to make changes to the educational process, thereby violating the old traditions of the college. Kirkland requires the dean to pay off mortgage debts, which is almost $ 20,000. The whole college is teaming up to help the dean and Molly. Together, they manage to raise $ 1,000. Students plan to help out the remaining money by defeating female student champions from another college in basketball . Since the Bixby team is considered very weak, the bookmakers have 20-to-1 bets against them. If they bet on themselves and win, they will receive the necessary amount. Bixby has a trump card: Molly and Oliver dressed in a female wig. The other team is also cheating, they have several professional basketball players ...
