Shy teacher Robert Donat reflects on his life and career at a typical English boarding school for boys. He meets the love of his life while on summer vacation in Vienna. They get married and live happily at the school, but tragedy strikes. The years pass by more or less uneventful until WWI, which sees more tragedy strike the school as he takes over as headmaster. Sentimental and somewhat melancholy, but it is impossible not to like "Chips" as much as his students.
