Plot
Jacqueline "Jake" Osborne (Anne Francis) is sent to college to follow in the footsteps of her successful father Howard (Clifton Webb), only to fall in love with professor Matt Reagan (William Lundigan). They impulsively decide to elope.
Howard and his wife (Margalo Gillmore) are furious, but when they confront the young professor's parents, they find them equally irate.
