After his girl friend, Betty Cameron, makes a date to go driving with the campus playboy, Duke Galloway, sophomore Michael Harvey heads for Tolers, the college cafe, where pretty waitress Dora Swale comforts his bruised ego. When Mike finds Betty with Duke outside of the cafe, he angrily confronts her, not realizing that she had come to call off the date. Hurt by his insinuations, Betty chases after Mike and forces an apology out of him in the men's bathroom. Confident now that they love each other, Mike and Betty become engaged. Mike, not wanting to wait two years for his graduation, contemplates leaving school to marry immediately but, at a school dance, is counseled by David Mathews, his biology professor, to finish college, advice that is endorsed by Betty. With his sexual frustrations mounting, Mike heads for Tolers, while Betty seeks out her own confidante, Barbara, David's former fiancée. Dora, sensing Mike's longing, invites him to her house, where he drunkenly makes love to her. Caught later by Dora's father, Mike is charged with seducing a minor and is forced by Mr. Swale to agree to marry Dora. After tearfully breaking the news to Betty, who has since changed her mind about waiting to marry, Mike returns to the Swales with David. Before the judge arrives, David receives a phone call informing him that Duke and Betty have been in a serious car accident. At the hospital, Dora witnesses Duke's death and, seeing the love between Mike and Betty, announces to her father that she has no intention of marrying. With the blessing of David and Barbara, Mike and Betty wed and head for California.
