Plot Two pleasant lads (Stuart, Darrow), who happen to be enemies, fall in love with the same girl, Eleanor (Phipps). The first conflict is a struggle to win the leading man role in the school play, a Roman costume drama, against leading lady Eleanor, with many love scenes at stake. The conflict next erupts during a basketball game, causing the coach (Paddock) to bench the pair; they’re put back in late in the game and have to work together to win. In the end, the two lads patch up their differences while Eleanor chooses someone else as her beau.Muriel Babcock, " 'The High School Hero': Rollicking Comedy", Los Angeles Times, October 2, 1927.
