John is a timid student who works at the University Book Store. He is studying to be a botanist and has a secret crush on the lovely Julia.

But John is neither and Spike, Julia's boyfriend, is a track star at a nearby College. John does not want to enter the track meet so Julia tries to use psychology on him. That and a good wrestling hold makes John timidly agree to enter the race, but Spike still scares him.
