John Wayne stars as a West Point cadet and star football player named Bob. All the ladies lust after him, but he only has eyes for Evelyn (Laura La Plante). However, as his graduation nears, he breaks things off, much to Evelyn's dismay. Some time later, the now Lieutenant Bob is stationed in Arizona where he is reunited with his mentor Colonel Frank (Forrest Stanley). Things get awkward when Lt. Bob meets Col. Frank's new bride...Evelyn! Lt. Bob does the reasonable thing and immediately starts dating Evelyn's younger sister Bonnie (June Clyde), which for some reason upsets Evelyn.
This instantly forgettable programmer has a cornball script only matched by its uninspired performances. Wayne, looking lean and bewildered, appears to be searching for the nearest exit. La Plante gets a big "Acting" scene near the end that doesn't do her any favors. Highlights include Nina Quartero's brief role as the drunken Conchita, and Wayne and Clyde singing a song about cookies.
Its pedigree as an early oddity starring John Wayne searching for a screen persona and stardom in a modern dress role and a film that doesn't help him do either of those things is a reason to watch this.
