影片的故事灵感来自于极具荒诞主义写实手法的作家C·D·佩恩的小说《青春大反抗:尼克·特威斯普的冒险传奇》,经由格斯汀·纳什之手创作改编成剧本。
At fictitious Tait University in the Roaring 20's, co-ed and school librarian Connie Lane (June Allyson) falls for football hero Tommy Marlowe (Peter Lawford). Unfortunately, he has his eye on gold-digging vamp Pat McClellan. Tommy's grades start to slip, which keeps him from playing in the big game. Connie eventually finds out Tommy really loves her and devises a plan to win him back and to get him back on the field.
