Babe's idea of a good time is a volume of the Iliad and a bag of peanuts. But after he has laid eyes on Florence, the prize peach of the Co-Eds, he deserts his book long enough to start a mild flirtation with her. This is directly in violation of the rules issued by the upper classmen to govern the conduct of the freshmen. Babe pays no heed to the rules, and thereby incurs the hostility of Tom, the Sophomore leader, who orders Babe to be subjected to the hardest of initiation and hazing stunts. However, after Babe has had a few rough stunts pulled off on him, his mother comes to visit her darling boy and, seeing the way he has been treated, decides to take a hand in the hazing game herself. Disguising herself, she lays in wait for the sophomores, and when they visit Babe's room for the purpose of hazing him, they receive the surprise of their lives.
