Freddie asks the' question as he notes the handkerchief held before her face by Maxigene Tierney who plays the part of Hildegarde Dolson, desperate for a date to the big dance.

Meanwhile her mother, ever helpful, arranges with Mrs. Shermer, Juana Kay Baum, that Freddie shall escort Hildegarde to the prom and he appears in the abhorred knickers his parents force him to wear.

She tries to cover the mud, he steals her brother's trousers, Dan Rice as Mr. Shermer is attacked by Dean Anderson, the wronged brother, and things from bad to worse, laughable whirlwind go swiftly But in a finish all problems are solved satisfactorily.
