Because of the war, there aren't enough men at Adams College for all the

girls, but Betty (Betty Jane Rhodes as Betty Rhodes) has no difficulties as

she has a monopoly on stud-athlete Pete (Bill Edwards). The other girls,

particularly Marian (Marjorie Weaver), think this is unfair, so Marian

institutes a system of rationing dates. Pete is rated as thirty points and

Betty is furious as the other girls bypass the 4-F's and slide-rule geeks to

save their ration points to date Pete. Betty drafts him for the Varsity

Show, but when the pressure of preparing for the show hurts his studies,

Marian volunteers to tutor him and has him all to herself. Scholarly John

"Two-Point" Simpson (Johnny Johnston as Johnnie Johnston) auditions

and, since he isn't hep to the jive, is laughed off the stage. Betty helps

him and soon "Two-Point" is in the groove and makes a hit, and Betty

discovers she is in love with him. The faculty cancels the date-rationing

plan and Johnnie, whose point value has gone up, thinks Betty is the

cause of the ruling and dates Marian for spite. Betty broods and knits

booties for her sister's baby, but conveys the impression to Marian that

she is to have a baby. Johnnie learns he is the "suspected" father and,

thinking it is another of Betty's tricks, plans to leave school. The other

girls, led by Bubbles (Marie Wilson), are worried about Betty's future

stigma and round up a justice of the peace and Johnnie. Betty confesses

the hoax, and the girls start squabbling over the available-again Johnnie,

while Betty and Johnnie make use of the still-available Justice of the

Peace.
