Professor Quincy Adams Wagstaff has just been installed as the new president
of Huxley College. His cavalier attitude toward education is not reserved for
his son Frank, who is seeing the college widow, Connie Bailey. Frank influences
Wagstaff to recruit two football players who hang out in a speakeasy, in order
to beat rival school Darwin. Unfortunately, Wagstaff mistakenly hires the
misfits Baravelli and Pinky. Finding out that Darwin has beaten him to the
"real" players, Wagstaff enlists Baravelli and Pinky to kidnap them,
which leads to an anarchic football finale.
