Babs and Connie Brootes are taken by their uncle to a summer resort in the Ozarks, in order to break off their friendship with Steve Kelso and Dewey Lamb. However, the boys soon followed. Uncle Osgood invites Bill Thorwald, an egotistical young athlete down for the summer to help reform his nieces. Bill is seeking a mate who can compete with him in all sports. Much to the disgust of Steve and Dewey, both girls promply fall for him. Hieir cousin, Grace Darling, arrives for a three days' visit. Grace, a girl athletic marvel, bewils the fact she can capture all the trophies but never a sweetheart. Fearful that she may prove to be the athletic Amazon Bill is searching for, Babs and Connie dress Grace up as a clinging-vine, baby-talk speel, much to the wrath of the two girls. Bill, however, cannot bear baby-talk ladies and snubs Grace, to her chagrin. Steve and Dewey, jealous of Bill, persuade Spud Bowser, a superb athlete, to pose as a girl and beat Bill at all sports, thereby hoping to puncture his self-esteem. Spud is introduced as Bedelia Bowser, and Bill thinks that in her he has found his hefty dream maiden at last. The fun is fast and furious when various male characters try to make love to Bedelia. Spud beats Bm at every game until Bill, thoroughly humiliated, decides that he is off athletic girls for life. He gets the surprise of his life in learn- ing Grace's true identity as a champion athlete.
