English teacher Marion loves chemistry teacher David, but she is jealous of his praise for student Joan. David is helping Joan with an experiment that will earn her a scholarship, and Marion decides to give Joan a failing grade on a paper to ruin her chances. David tells Marion that her “warped mind twisted [his] interest in Joan,” who comes from a poor family and needs the scholarship. He breaks up with her. Marion confesses to the school board and resigns. Joan gets the scholarship and David says he has a new job for Marion: as his wife.; Chuck expects his girlfriend Sally’s rich father to find him “nice cushy desk duty” in the Coast Guard but is instead assigned to cutter duty. He decides to break up with Sally, but first goes out on a rescue mission and is commended for heroism. Sally says she never asked her father to help Chuck, because she knew Chuck was only asking for shore duty for her sake. Chuck agrees.; Betty lives with her 5 brothers and can’t keep a boyfriend because she’s a tomboy. Her Aunt Adele gives her a makeover. Betty soon impresses Ed and they become engaged.; After Larry makes a joke on a date, Nina writes him a letter breaking up with him. She is repentant afterwards, considering all of Larry’s good points. When Larry shows up the next day, Nina apologises. He says he got her letter but the stamp was upside down so he knew she didn’t mean it.; Cleo is disappointed when Ed dates her only once. She decides to change her image as the “campus queen” who dates many men, and Ed is impressed by her now.; Romantic significance of various flowers and plants.
