Trama e note

 
Come in Just another blonde abbiamo una coppiola di ragazzi, questa volta fratelli: Jim, il maggiore, è un tipo posato, studente agli ultimi anni di college, mentre il minore, Ralph, è una matricola insofferente alle regole. Tuttavia solo il secondo decide di rinnovare i fasti familiari iscrivendosi alla squadra di canottaggio universitaria. Entrambi si innamorano di Carol, la quale, dopo alcune esitazioni, finisce per scegliere Jim. Roso dalla gelosia, Ralph, agganciata una biondazza, si reca, presumibilmente per spassarsela, in un equivoco localino, proprio alla vigilia dell'importante gara di canottaggio. Il padre di Ralph e l'allenatore sono sulle sue tracce: può nascerne uno scandalo che potrebbe costargli l'espulsione. Jim non pone tempo in mezzo: raggiunge il fratello e, dopo una salutare scazzottata, lo riduce a più miti ragioni; ma come giustificare la gazzarra ai sopravvenienti pater familias e trainer? Estremo sacrificio: Jim si addossa ogni colpa. Nella gara dell'indomani Ralph porta alla vittoria l'armo universitario e poi confessa tutto: le cose si predispongono ad un felice accouchement.
Pellicola, si presume, esilissima, Rolled stockings  fu l'occasione per mettere insieme tutti gli
enfants prodige della commedia flapper, ma il risultato, pare, non fu dei migliori.
Dei promettenti giovani attori della Paramount solo Louise e Richard Arlen (che torneranno insieme in Beggars of life) avranno una carriera di rilievo.
Nell'intervista tripartita di John Kobal a Louise Brooks (cfr. interviste), lo stesso Kobal ammette di aver visto il film: nel 1965 quindi tale pellicola era superstite.
