Upon his return to college, Dick finds that his good friend, the football Coach, has married one of the flippant and extravagant "college widows," who tries unsuccessfully to carry on a former flirtation with Dick, who is disgusted with her. To gratify her extravagances, the Coach appropriates some football trust funds. On the eve of the big match football game, with exposure imminent, the Coach commits suicide under circumstances which his designing widow distorts into a circumstantial plot involving Dick.
