Charley Chase is the girl-shy son of a music teacher at a girl's school. When mom turns up ill, Charley has to take her place. To reassure him, she writes a note to art teacher Muriel Evans to keep an eye on him in this modified remake of Chase's 1927 WHAT WOMEN DID FOR ME.

This one is not a top notch Charley Chase short, but it is filled with good gags and a plethora of young, pretty women, including an uncredited Paulette Goddard. Because he is teaching music, the women wind up singing a scat version of "Seeing Nellie Home." Most of the latter half is taken up with a series of cat gags, instigated when some of the student's sneak into Charley's bed room and sprinkle his bed with cat nip. Soon a clowder of cats besiege Charley, and he tries with mixed results to get rid of them.
