Francis Academy in Idaho. In her efforts to prepare her young charges for the world they are about to enter, Truvy makes an awful mistake. She teaches about human sexuality and gets caught by the school's director and a major benefactor. Miss Pond, the school's administrator, suggests that Truvy spend the Christmas holidays thinking about staying within the bounds of the instructional guidelines of St. Francis. She tells Tru that she will telegram her when it is safe to call Tru back to teach.
