Movie star Ted Crosley (Charles Starrett) announces that he has made his last film. He's quitting Hollywood and starting college. His managers, Willie Gumbatz (Jimmy Durante) and Sam Lewis, try to sabotage him in order to get him back to making movies. The college is in financial trouble and sees the movie star as a potential cash windfall. No matter the infractions, the college refuses to expel him.
It's a B-movie comedy. There are some weird vaudevillian acts like the eating. I can say that one don't see much of that in today's movies. It's almost a carnival geek show. Jimmy Durante and The Three Stooges are the more recognizable names for modern audiences. Durante is doing the heavy lifting. The Stooges have a few scene. Maybe somebody can cut them together to make another Stooges short. I get a sense that orgy meant something tamer back then. The leading man is too old to go back to college and doesn't have that much big screen presence. The comedic lead is actually Durante. He's going hard to keep it moving. All in all, this has interesting bits and pieces although it's not much of a movie.
