- DirectorAlbert S.

Ted wishes to enroll in school under an assumed name but Sam, hoping to nip his school plans in the bud, tips off the school and the press. En route, Ted has met and fallen in love with Jean Worthington, daughter of Dean Worthington, who is counting on Ted's enrollment to save his job.
