Plot
Henry plays matchmaker for Mr. Bradley (Vaughan Glaser), his principal and botany teacher at Central High, figuring that marital bliss might mellow the gruff educator and make it easier to get a passing grade and graduate. Bringing a woman into Bradley's life proves to be complicated, made more so by Mrs. Terwilliger (Barbara Jo Allen), a conniving spinster.[3]
