Jerry Mix was kept from Sylvia Landon by her father, the school principal, due to his grades. The football coach arranged to get Jerry in the big game if he passed his next exam. Sylvia tutored him and he passed. She accepted a date with him, insisting they go to a nightclub her father declared off limits to high school students. Her father arranged a police raid. Jerry got Sylvia out and was then expelled. Sylvia confessed it was her idea, showing her father nothing illegal happened at the club. He forgave Jerry, rescinded the expulsion, the team won, and he and Sylvia became a happy couple.
