Innocent co-ed Dixie is unjustly expelled for unladylike activities by college chairman John Neil, who also happens to be the local District Attorney. Dixie uses an employment agency to unknowingly land a job with Neil's attorney son Bruce. A romance develops between the two until they go to meet the old man, who promptly forces Dixie to break up with Bruce because of her 'sordid' past. Bruce will have none of it, so to get him to drop her she attempts to get 'caught' in an innocent date with her employment agency contact, Haines. Unfortunately, Haines has different ideas about their encounter and will not take "no" for an answer so Dixie is forced to clock him with an urn, killing him. Dixie's trial for murder leads to a courtroom confrontation between father and son, with her fate resting in the balance.
