Keith enrolls in a Sociology class in college and discovers one of his
favorite subjects, a beautiful girl, 23-year-old Dory Kimmel. He maneuvers his
way into working on a class project with her. After a study session with Dory
at the Partridge home, Keith announces to his mother that he's finally found
his true love in an older woman, Dory. As their work together continues, Keith
becomes completely infatuated and believes that Dory feels the same way about
him. But he's totally stunned when he learns that Dory is married.
An unhappy Keith confides to his mother that he thinks Dory is going to leave
her husband for him. When Shirley confronts Dory with this bit of news, it's
Dory's turn to be stunned. She likes Keith as a friend but she's truly in love
with her husband. She has to find a way of telling him the truth without
hurting his feelings.
Dory finally decides to invite Keith over for dinner to meet her husband and
see how happy they are. Keith arrives for the dinner, expecting Dory's husband
to slug him, but learns instead that he's been misunderstanding Dory's
friendship.
When Keith goes home, he puts on an act for the family on how he's sacrificed
himself to save Dory's marriage. But everyone sees through him and understands
that he's just trying to save his wounded ego.
