Tommy Thompson suggests to a number of fellow students that they have a pajama parade and serenade the girls. Slipping their pajamas over their suits, the boys dance the serpentine on their way to the girls' dormitory. Arriving, they are disappointed when the girls fall to appear. Tommy, discovering a light in the window, places a ladder beneath it and investigates. The girls are having "High-Jinks." and a burlesque glove contest is in progress. Rev. Granger happens along and reproves the boys. They force him up the ladder. Seeing a girl in ballet costume imitate a Russian dancer, he refuses to come down. Betty and three other girls, hearing the noise outside, leave the room, enter the one above, and drench Granger and the fellows with water. Running to the boys' dormitory, the girls "stack" Tommy's room, piling chairs, tables, etc., in the center. They are about to tub Cole, a freshman, when the rest of the boys return, and the girls are obliged to leave. Betty runs across the campus, pursued by Tommy, and both land in the arms of the watchman, who reports them to the Student Affairs Committee. The following day they are suspended from college. While waiting for the train, Tommy, who is engaged to Betty, catches sight of Rev. Granger. The boys hold the Rev. while Tommy secures a marriage license. Rev. Granger is compelled to perform the ceremony, and the couple board the train, amid cheers and good wishes.
