Thornton Sayre, a respected college professor - secretly formerly a silent films romantic action hero - is disturbed, feeling his privacy has been violated, and his professional credibility as a scholar jeopardized, when he learns his old movies have been resurrected and are being aired on TV. He sets out to demand this cease. However, his former co-star is the hostess of the TV show playing the films, and she has other plans.

L'austero professor Thornton Saye nasconde ha un passato giovanile come stella del cinema. Alla messa in onda televisiva di quei vecchi film, il professore reagisce sdegnato, ma la figlia interviene ad addolcire il padre.
