The Freshman

Harold Lamb (Harold Lloyd), a bright-eyed but naive young man, enrolls at Tate University and meets Peggy (Jobyna Ralston). To become popular, he emulates his movie idol, The College Hero, but ends up being the laughingstock of the school instead. With the help of Peggy, who is described as "the kind of girl your mother must have been," Harold tries out for the football team and ultimately earns the respect and popularity he seeks after making a game-winning touchdown in a crucial match.
