College freshman Lloyd will do anything to be popular. He buys his way to limited popularity through ice cream cones (welcome to the 1920s), but the real way to popularity is the football team. However, the only way he can get on the field is by accident. In true Hollywood fashion, he makes the most of his opportunity. Predictable and sentimental to a fault, but hard to root against such an endearing character. The best scene is Harold battling his disintegrating suit at the "fall frolic".
