Mollie Michaelson is a beautiful young woman who attract the attention of many male admirers. Michealson is from a generation of youngsters that often rebel against their conservative parents and is attracted to the lifestyle of long-haired hippies. This sends her father Frank into overprotective mode, making sure his daughter stays innocent and safe and her mind not corrupted by society's images and views. Soon Mollie will be off to college and like every other parent, Frank and Mollie's mom Anne find it hard to say goodbye and Frank makes sure his little girl remembers the value of education, is much more important than boys and other little nonsense people Mollie's age would do.
Promising to write to her parents constantly while she is thousands of miles of away, this little reassurance relieves Frank a bit to keep her in tab. But one day at Harthorne college Mollie writes to her dad about her newfound hobby, she and a friend Linda is taking at a nearby coffeehouse- singing folk songs and Mollie also had a recording sent to backup her love for the music. Worrywart Frank heads straight to the college to see about his daughter and is happy to see that Mollie and her roommate is not doing anything out of the ordinary; like spending time with young men or other things that doesn't involve their studies. Frank does decide to go to a sit-in for a demonstration that Mollie and other students protest for banning a controversial book. While at the demostration, Mollie's plea for the book to be out in the public goes ignore by the Mayor, but Frank steps in and demands that the students be heard.
