Cute-as-a-button Cecilia Parker is feeling all sorts of urges for classmate Noel Warwick, and needs to talk about them with someone, but mother Helen MacKellar is too busy with her association telling parents how to raise their children. So she gives in to those urges and falls pregnant. She breaks down in class when biology teacher Crane Wilbur (who also directed) starts to give a guarded lecture about sex education. Still too frightened to tell her parents, she confides in her brother, Carlyle Moore Jr. He in turn, lets the situation slip when he goes to offer his commiseration as Miss MacKellar and her friends getting Wilbur fired. Saddened, he helps get Miss Parker to a hospital in another town.
It's more a series of lectures on the needs for sex education in school and for parents to be frank with their children than a story film, but within those confines, it offers its messages honestly, with Wilbur occasionally falling into declamatory mode. He was, after all, the grandson of the original Tyrone Power, forebear of the acting family that is still at work. Wilbur performed on stage from 1902-1930, and made his movie debut in 1910; his biggest hit was as the male lead in THE PERILS OF PAULINE, then it was largely back to the theater. His return to the movies began in 1930, and continued into the 1960s. He died in 1973 at the age of 86.
