Comedian Charley Chase not only directed this two-reel farce, one of the Three Stooges most popular, but also contributed a novelty song, Swingin the Alphabet. The Stooges are gas station attendants mistaken for European professors and hired by the Mildew Womens College. When the real professors turn up, the Stooges manage to convince a rich benefactress that athletics are more important than scholarly learning -- until, that is, a football filled with nitroglycerin rather makes the question moot. A pun on the earjerker Valiant Is the Word for Carrie (1936), this two-reel comedy remains a favorite by the legion of Stooges fans. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
