Synopsis
At Caldwell College, "Flash" Thomas, captain of the football team, is in love with Dorothy May, who is infatuated with Bob Wilson, without whose help Thomas would not be such an outstanding player. Broken-hearted, Thomas tries to laugh it off, then against rules accepts an invitation to a roadhouse party. Wilson, discovering he is missing, hides in Thomas's bed to fool the coach, then tries to persuade him to leave the party; when they return, however, the coach discovers the ruse and puts Wilson, who shields Thomas, out of the game. Dorothy asks for an explanation and, receiving none, returns Thomas's fraternity pin. At the last minute, Wilson is rushed into the game and Thomas plays to redeem himself; Wilson scores a touchdown, is proclaimed a hero, and wins the love of Dorothy.
