After a busybody teacher in a girls' finishing school finds a love letter from a student to an unknown man, a minor scandal erupts.

Dr. Stephen Dominick is the head of a German girls' finishing school and a published author who is very popular with his students. After Professor Augusta Wimmer, a snooping busybody, finds a love letter in a wastepaper basket, she goes immediately to Dominick and demands an inquiry to determine the writer's identity. Handwriting comparisons point to Marie Claudel, a 19 year old French girl. Despite threats, the senior refuses to disclose the object of her affections.
