Cap Collender (Arthur Loft),a showboat gambling racketeer, ensnares a collegiate rowing team's coxswain, "Squirt" Adams (Jimmy Eagles), into the sports-gambling racket. "Squirt" is also the brother of the all-american co-ed cheerleader Connie Adams (Patricia Farr),who is the sweetheart of the rowing team's captain Lance Corbett (Scott Kolk as Scott Colton). The latter, as expected of a hero name Lance with two broken ribs, manages to lead his team to the college regatta title against the newsreel-footage of all the 1936 west-coast college's rowing teams. He also un-ensnaes his all-american sweetheart's wimpy brother from the Rowing Mobsters clutches.
