Synopsis
Marion, who is firmly opposed to attending college, agrees to go to Bingham College only after making the acquaintance of Bob, who is working his way through school as basketball coach. Marion joins the team, becomes a star player, but, piqued at Bob's coolness, caused by a misunderstanding, deserts the team on the eve of an important game. When the team loses the game, Marion becomes the object of her fellow students' scorn. Realizing her lack of sportsmanship, she joins in the second game and scores the winning points at the last minute. She regains her popularity and wins the love of Bob.
