Eddie’s only consolation was his mother (Bernice Meyers) and his understanding uncle, (Jennings Peteler). His sister (Marie Hamilton) was caused some embarrassment bv Eddie’s capers. The story ran something like this: Eddie planned to enter an essay contest in hopes of winning $250 for voice training. His uncle George mailed in an essay which he believes Eddie has written.

Professor Merritt, (Richard Hagen), told the family that Eddie’s essay was a section of a famous author's book. Eddie w as not allowed to explain the situation. His friend, Ann, played bv Marjorie Hag-man, nevertheless remained loyal. The climax occurred when Professor Merritt, Mrs. Granville and Miss Dalrymple played by Virginia Moore and Charlotte Jorgensen, respectively, came to sec Eddie corrected. Uncle George steps in and straightens out the situation. The second prize winner was Eddie. Mr. Granville’s son, Tommy, (Wally Eundahl), his teacher (Velma Swanson) and Bettv Jane Nelson as Sally, completed the stimulating drama. [231
