Mr. Belvedere (Clifton Webb) is going back to college, even though he is an award-winning author. Because of the libel suits involved with the book, he is broke. His award specifies a college education, so he must go to school. He intends to get his degree in one year. The President of the University (Paul Harvey) makes an exception in his case and lets him enter with the condition that there must be no publicity or controversy involved with his stay there. He moves into a dorm room with Alan Young and Alvin Greenman. He has to wear a freshman beanie. Shirley Temple work for the college paper and wants an interview with him, but he cannot because of the restriction. He applies with Tom Drake at the employment bureau for a job, and signs up in a female sorority house as a "hasher." As he is giving Drake his personal information, she is writing it down. Drake is sweet on her, but she has been brushing him off, since she is a young war widow with a baby, but is trying to keep it quiet.
Belvedere goes to see Jessie Landis, the sorority mother, who is also the mother of Drake. He talks to the cook in Swedish and plays his own composition on the piano - and boogie-woogie. It turns out that he is Young's assistant. Belvedere resigns, but the cook says if he leaves, she does, too. They prepare a gourmet meal for the girls. Drake brings Temple to meet his mother. Various complications ensue, but all ends happily in the end.
