- Summary:
- "Handsome student athlete Jack Hamill is the star of the football team at Shoreham College, and the apple of his proud mother's eye. His best friend, coach Brad Hathaway, has recently married Eunice, Jack's former girlfriend. Refusing to let marriage slow her down, Eunice spends the coach's money frivolously, running up huge debts, while continuing to throw herself at Jack. A college audit shows that the coach has embezzled over ten thousand dollars from the football fund, and before the scandal goes public, he commits suicide. Eunice uses a fake letter from her deceased husband to blackmail Jack into marrying her. When he dumps his sweetheart Cecily and announces his engagement to Eunice, Jack's mother realizes something is terribly amiss, and vows to investigate"--Container
