A small college town finds out that esteemed literature professor is not another than a silent screen star whose films appeared on the big screen 20 years before. Clifton Webb is a natural for the part and he is joined by Ginger Rogers, his leading lady in those films, whose career has been restored with the advent of television and the old films showing on that medium.
With a conservative college Board of Trustees, Webb faces the ax, unless the film showing stops so he goes with his brilliant daughter, Ann Francis, to New York to gain an injunction to stop the film.
Elsa Lanchester steals the scenes she is in by being a head trustee with a doctorate who pours on the lust for Webb both in her office and a New York hotel.
Francis finds there is more to life than academics when she falls for agent Jeff Hunter, who works for head honcho Fred Clark.
This is a non-stop riot of a film.
