Introducing Mr. Pennyfeather, year old Professor of Chaucer, who comes to the aid of his young student, rich Tick Burrell who is having fiances trouble -- in fact, three of them. Taffy, playgirl, , debutants, and Carolyn, Wac, all converge on Tick in the little California town where he is now stationed by Uncle Sam. Ax murders, chloroforming and intelligent remarks by Mr. Pennyfeather enliven the four-cornered romance. Good pace and characters.
