Танцующая студентка
Drummer (uncredited)
Сюжет фильма включает в себя общенациональный поиск танцовщицы среди студенток для замены в танцевальной паре, которая должна сниматься в новом высоко бюджетном мюзикле, а партнерша объявляет, что она беременна. Конечно, девушку Пэтти Марлоу выбрали заранее, но в рекламных целях, чтобы привлечь внимание к никому неизвестной дебютантке, руководство студии объявляет конкурс по радио по всей стране. А предварительно Пэтти посылают с секретаршей студии Евой (которая сдала за нее вступительные экзамены) в небольшой колледж на Среднем Западе. Все бы сошло с рук, но именно в этом колледже попадается редактор студенческой газеты Мишель «Паг» Бреддок, тоже студент, весьма принципиальный, который считает, что конкурс подстроен, что и оказывается правдой. Что же делать лже-студенткам? В теории, что Шерлок Холмс никогда не подозревал Ватсона, Пэтти становится помощником Пага, и они так успешно осуществляют поиск подставного лица, что, конечно, влюбляются друг в друга.
