Garry Moore alumna and Broadway comedienne Dorothy Loudon energizes a promising tryout series. An ex-starlet teaching at a posh girls school, Loudon matches wits and sprightly dialogue with prof Kenneth Gilman and headmaster Russell Nype. Linda Manz, the Days of Heaven narrator, plays the school's only disadvantaged pupil.
