Synopsis
Among the students at provincial Kilminster University in England, Harry, a scholarship student from a working-class background, stands out because of his intelligence, athletic skill, and restlessness. Harry sees to it that Phil, his roommate, is treated as one of the crowd. While with Josie, his girl friend, at a cocktail party given by Professor Chown, Harry attracts the professor's bored wife, Virginia, who has been having an affair with Gilby, a wealthy student. Harry succumbs to Virginia's advances, but when he asks her to run off with him she breaks the relationship. Harry is humiliated further by Chown's bored reaction to the situation. On rag day Harry enlists the help of Phil, who idolizes him, in tying a banner to the top of the university tower; they perform the feat, but in their descent Phil falls to his death. Though defended by Chown, Harry is expelled.
