- Ada Shore is mistaken for a new secretary, she brings a breath of fresh air to the traditional university.
- A young woman (Diane Hart) arrives at a Scottish university to visit her uncle (Joseph Tomelty), a famous writer now employed as a humble porter, who went into hiding during the Irish Civil War some thirty years earlier. The principal of the university (Patrick Barr) assumes she is his new secretary and she falls in with this. A senior professor (Duncan Macrae) starts a campaign to improve the morals of the students, and enlists his pompous son (Charles Hawtrey) in his crusade, with farcical results.—Paul Terry
- (The IMDb storyline is incorrect.) On the evening of the inauguration of the new Lord Rector, Lord Carshenny, (Edward Lexy) a young woman, Ada Shore, (Diane Hart) arrives at Skerryvore University in Scotland in search of her long-lost uncle (Joseph Tomelty) who was once a subversive Irish poet but is now working under another name as the University Gate Keeper. Ada is mistaken by the Principal, Sir Archibald Asher, (Patrick Barr) as his new secretary and she goes along with the impersonation. Asher and Ada fall in love which incurs the disapproval of the puritanical Professor Hayman (Duncan Macrae) whose son Adolphus (Charles Hawtrey) is meantime discovering the delights of alcohol and women. Based on the play "What Say They?" by James Bridie.
