He goes to school with his wife Blondie (Penny Singleton), until they get the news married couples are not allowed. They decide to pretend they aren't a couple. A dilemma starts when Laura Wadsworth (Janet Blair) begins to flirt with Dagwood and Big Man on Campus Rusty Bryant (Larry Parks) does the same with Blondie.
