Serious complications result for college football star Jock Hamill when he is vamped by his coach's wife, Eunice Hathaway, a former sweetheart. The coach commits suicide after his wife's extravagance drives him to embezzlement, Eunice tricks Jock into promising marriage, and Jock is suspected of murdering the coach. Greatly worried and shunned by his fellow students, Jock nearly loses the big game; but he finally comes through with a timely drop kick, his mother exposes the truth, and Jock is reunited with his true love, Cecily Graves.
