The trustees of Midwestern University have forced three teachers out of their jobs for being suspected communists. Trustee Ed Keller has also threatened mild mannered English Professor Tommy Turner, because he plans to read a controversial piece of prose in class.

He takes Ellen out dancing after the football rally, causing Tommy to worry that he will lose her to Joe.
