Lashed to a froth by the baleful cries of ticket-hungry students, the Inter-House Dance Committee is hopefully exploring every rabbit hutch for a possible solution to the frustrating shortage of space for the Yale weekend dances. But their mightiest efforts have been snarled in the sticky web of a divided and slow University Hall chain of command that hampers a real desire for cooperation and threatens to taint the weekends of many date-laden, but ticketless students...

Scared out of trying by his highbrow, reactionary fiancée, he finally borrows enough gumption from a sympathetic young girl (Jane Wyatt)- incidentally swapping fiancées while crossing his Rubicon...
