State College football coach George Cooper has more than enough problems on the job without his teenage daughter Connie complicating his life at home. She has written a story but no one has agreed to publish it yet. Furthermore she is convinced that she is unattractive to the opposite sex and wallows in frustrated self-pity. Resigning herself to a loveless existence, she decides to make literature her life. When she gets a check for $180 for a fictional article she pens about a teenage bubble dancer that recently appeared in a confessions magazine, the boys come calling.
The young author dates a high school football star from across town who chooses to attend State College (rather than Notre Dame University) to be near his newfound sweetheart. She is the first girl he likes more than football.
George's football and domestic problems seem to be solved.
His wife Elizabeth and housekeeper Geraldine support the family members in distress, while the younger sister Ellen helps Connie and her father out during this difficult time. In the end she feels much like her sister did in the beginning.
