Buster Keaton with Anne Cornwall, Snitz Edwards, Harold Goodwin and Florence Turner.

"While he may be best known for his large-scale comedies, with their epic chases and elaborate setpieces, Buster Keaton was also a master of simple slapstick. Capitalizing on the popular trend of collegiate comedies, Keaton stars as Ronald, an intellectual freshman who attends Clayton College in pursuit of higher learning, but finds himself instead embroiled in a war of athletics as he fights for the heart of his beloved coed, Mary (Anne Cornwall). In a series of hilarious vignettes, stone-faced Ronald tries his hand as a baseball player, soda jerk, waiter, coxswain, and track star, usually with disastrous results."--Container.
