The story

Jane Featherstone (Joan Davis) is a buttoned-down and pedestrian professor at small town Croyden College in Great Falls, Indiana who is making plans to present a paper in New York City. While talking to her dean's wife, Phyllis Fowler, she discovers that Fowler is actually the author of the racy bestselling novel Always Lulu, under the pen name Lulu Winters. Fowler asks Featherstone to assume her faux identity in order to pick up her royalty checks while in New York; Featherstone reluctantly agrees to pick up the $80,000, which Fowler has promised to donate to the college which is struggling financially.
