本片描述一个美国大学生在驰名四海的大学生城——牛津遇到的厄运。而这一切都归咎于这位美国人在一个注重传统而又保守的国家中仍然保持天真无邪。当然，对于老英国的讽刺是一点也不尖锐的，虽然主人公利·谢里登由于误会而被迫离开了大学。影片结束时，真相大白，谢里登在仇人的情夫受到其丈夫的追踪时，叫她躲在自己的住所。后来他又参加了四对桨划船比赛，帮助牛津的选手战胜了来自剑桥的对手。 这部片子使费雯丽摆脱了天真少女的角色框框，扮演了一位有性格的人物，对这种人物来说，外貌并没有多大意义。满头卷发、浓妆艳抹的她，此番不是以美丽取胜，而是以一个轻浮的小市民的鲜艳形象引人注目。这个女人活泼自然，热爱生活，厚颜无耻之中又带有天真无邪。

The ship on which Bill Roberts is a stoker has just put into port, giving the crew one night ashore. The ship's bad-tempered third engineer orders the stokers to clean up, while the engineer heads for a dockside bar, where he has a confrontation with the wife he had abandoned. Then, as Bill himself goes ashore, he sees a young woman attempt to drown herself. Bill dives in, saves her, and then, assisted by the engineer's wife, sees that she is cared for. Bill and the rescued woman begin to enjoy one another's company, but they must contend with the malice of the engineer, as well as a number of other complications.
