What happens

Love Finds Andy Hardy is a 1938 American romantic comedy film directed by George B. Seitz and produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It stars Lewis Stone, Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, Cecilia Parker, and Fay Holden, with Lana Turner, Ann Rutherford, Mary Howard and Gene Reynolds in supporting roles. The story follows teenager Andy Hardy, who becomes entangled with three different girls at once. The screenplay was written by William Ludwig, from stories by Vivien R. Bretherton, and based upon characters created by Aurania Rouverol. It was the first film in which MGM recorded at least part of the soundtrack in stereophonic sound, a practice which was used for a number of the studio's musical comedies beginning the late 1930s. The film was presented in standard monaural sound. Love Finds Andy Hardy was released on July 22, 1938, and was distributed by Loew's Inc. The film was commercially successful and grossed over $2.2 million at the box office. In 2000, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
