1948

Musical
Bobby Randall: Leonard Nimoy

World War I is over, the Roaring Twenties have arrived, women have won the right to vote, and college campuses, such as fictonal Tait College, are as much a social scene as an academic one.

 Football is the big game, and star player Tom Marlowe is a prime catch. All the girls are interested in Tom, and vice-versa, although one society climber seems to have him in hand. Studious part-time school librarian Connie Lane doesn't seem to have a chance and stays out of the fray. When Marlowe fails a final exam, he needs a tutor to help him pass so he can play in the big game on Saturday. Connie is selected to help keep his nose to the grindstone, and the two fall for each other. The couples' romance can only endure if the team wins the big game.
