Too Many Girls
Tycoon Harvey Casey (Harry Shannon) is frustrated by his daughter Connie's (Lucille Ball) frequent efforts to escape her hired bodyguards. She arrives back in the United States from finishing school in Italy, intent on going to Harvey's alma mater Pottawatomie College in Stop Gap, New Mexico. He is suspicious of her intentions, and even more concerned about her safety. After meeting Princeton football star Clint Kelly (Richard Carlson), Casey wants to hire him and his fellow players - Jojo Jordan (Eddie Bracken), Manuelito Lynch (Desi Arnaz), and Al Terwilliger (Hal Le Roy) - to discreetly serve as Connie's bodyguards at Pottawatomie. The boys all sign contracts (which include an "anti-romance" clause) to conceal their positions from Connie. Since Harvey's undergrad days, however, the college has fallen into financial straits. Student leaders Eileen (Frances Langford) and Pepe (Ann Miller) try to raise $300 to fend off debt collectors. When the three boys arrive, they donate money from their salaries. Meanwhile, Clint rides the bus with Connie, and sees her deliver a letter to an Indian man - the letter is addressed to Beverly Waverly. Connie befriends Eileen and Pepe, but suspects someone is following her. The boys become popular at Pottawatomie, even more so as they turn the school's terrible football team into one of the country's best. Clint discovers Connie only came to Pottawatomie to chase her latest beau, British playwright Beverly Waverly (Douglas Walton). As the other three boys find themselves pursued by female students, Clint withdraws socially to focus on his studies and job. Harvey uses his connections to further the team's reach. Connie eventually begins pursuing Clint, who has fallen for Connie and finds it increasingly difficult to honor the "anti-romance" clause. The boys are concerned about the effect their relationship will have on them, Clint, and the football team. After Connie tells him who she really is, Clint divulges his and the boys' position and the "anti-romance" clause. A devastated Connie drops out of Pottawatomie, and forces the boys to come back East with her. The student body attempts to hold their football stars hostage. They capture Manuelito, but the other three escape. Beverly convinces Connie to allow the boys to come back and play. Clint initially refuses, but Connie arrives to convince him and confesses her love. After winning the big game, Clint and Connie dance as the college celebrates.
