Poet and college student Wes Stern has his scholarship cancelled by the university computer. He takes his case to university president Larry Hagman, an ultra conservative, who rejects him. After a failed suicide attempt, Stern moves in with the local student radical group who convince him to try to ruin Hagman's life by seducing his wife, daughter and mistress. It's mostly a dated sex comedy, but there is just enough social commentary to keep it somewhat interesting. Larry Hagman has a blast with his role as a hypocritical aspiring politician.
