Nostalgic account of the life of schoolteacher Martha Scott, from her own college days at a small Midwestern college to career at the same. Despite being much loved by students and administration, her personal life drifts from one admirer to another. She falls in love with a married man who cannot get a divorce, brushing off another who turns out to be a lifelong friend. It's no Goodbye Mr Chips or The Corn is Green, dwelling too much on her soap opera love life, but still manages to keep one's interest.
