This movie chronicles the story of a new young teacher (Majel Barrett) in her first job in a rural California town. On the drive there, her car breaks down. She is helped by a young man who later takes her to dinner and dancing. She enjoys her dates with the young man, but, on the first day of school is shocked to find that he is one of her students. Complications ensue, naturally, leading to a dramatic climax. It's great to see Majel Barrett in a leading role instead of a featured player (as she is usually seen in "Star Trek"). The conflict of a young teacher and her attraction to her not-very-much younger students is still very relevant today. A decidedly different view of teachers, as opposed to the "Our Miss Brooks" type more commonly seen in movies of the era.
