...staff that includes professors John M. Gaus, Howard Mumford Jones, Samuel E. Morrison, Benjamin F. Wright, Bart J. Bok, Lynn H. Loomis, and john D. Wild, and a genial Housemaster named Leigh Hoadley...
This time the four hoopskirted March girls are played by blonde June Allyson (Jo) in a red wig, brunette Elizabeth Taylor (Amy) in a blonde wig, Janet Leigh (Meg), and Margaret O'Brien (Beth).

Plainly, Veteran Heflin can never live down the one fateful, irretrievable act that even stands between him and his wife (Janet Leigh). But Ryan has a chance to make a life for himself if only he can be prevented from doing murder...
