Herman and Pat attend a dance at a co-ed school, with Pat dressing as a girl to become Herman's partner in an effort to avoid two homely girls forced upon them by the dean of women. Herman had been counting on his girl to save him but she hasn't arrived. When she does arrive, Herman is in trouble trying to explain his "date," Pat as a girl.
When Pat gets married, he receives a raise from his boss. Herman, seeing how simple it is, tells his boss that he's recently married. All goes well until both bosses drop in on both young men to "meet the bride." Pat's bride finds herself playing both wives.

The exact opposite happens and Professor Ginsberg stands a good chance of dying himself. He manages to sing a song, in the best Willie Howard style, along the way.
Tim (Tim Ryan) has written what he thinks is a great skit about Antony and Cleopatra for the department store's annual employee show, but the boss insists on his goofy daughter (Irene Ryan) playing Cleopatra opposite Tim's Antony.
The Cabin Kids, in between song and dance numbers, are at the county fair with intentions, fair or foul, of helping Mammy win the Pancakes cooking contest. Hillbillies Tom Emerson and His Mountaineers have a number also.
