Oxidontal University student editor Elmer Brown is strongly in favor of the movement to repeal Prohibition. He loves the daughter of an ardent prohibitionist; by chicanery, he tries to win Gloria and sell his bottle stopper invention. Some great early Busby Berkeley type musical numbers are a delight to watch.
