Professor Tommy Turner raises hell in his university when he announces he will read a letter from a death-row radical Bartolomeo Vanzetti. A story about Turner's provocative upcoming lecture appears in the college newspaper, and soon the academic's job is on the line. Complicating things further, Joe Ferguson, a gridiron hero -- and an old pal of Turner's wife -- comes to town for the big college football game. This news causes Turner to drown his sorrows in liquor... and to make a stand to keep his position and his wife. (official distributor synopsis)
