The story is loosely constructed
by deickemeyer2019-09-21

"This time Wallace Beery (Sweedie) enters a girl's college where tuition is to be given in return for labor. As a baker's assistant Sweedie nearly burns two men in the oven and then passes on to other experiences shared with the girls at a midnight supper party. Finally there is an embarrassing mistake in identity when Sweedie leaves. The story is loosely constructed, but offers a few humorous incidents. - The Moving Picture World, February 27, 1915..."
