Plot

Larry Haines is the school's track champion. The “Big Man on Campus”, his success goes straight to his head. His friends, Spec Early, Bobby Barnes, and his girlfriend Gwen, get fed up with him, and his swollen head.

They decide that he needs to get his big head deflated; so, they rig the “Joe Senior” college contest, so Larry comes in second. They make sure Don Cooper wins; and, he begins to go out with Gwen, much to the dismay of his own steady girlfriend Mary.

It soon becomes clear that Mary's not the only thing Don's forgotten about. It looks like both Don and Larry are in such a muddle they, and their school, are going to lose the track meet. Once again, it's up to the girls to sort out the mess, and spur them on to victory.
