It stars Harold Lloyd and remains one of Lloyd's most successful and enduring films.      Harold decides that the best way to ensure his popularity at his new school is to emulate his movie idol, The College Hero, down to mimicking a little jig he does before greeting anyone, and taking his nickname, "Speedy". However, the College Cad quickly makes him the butt of an ongoing joke, of which the freshman remains blissfully unaware. Harold thinks he is popular, when in fact he is the laughingstock of the whole school.      Everyone is invited to attend this reopening performance. The event is free; donations are appreciated.
