Synopsis

At a Florida college, professor Paul Delville and wife Content, who is the school's dean of women, anticipate a visit from Sweden. The people they expect are a former colleague, Professor Sveg, and his daughter Katrin.
Katrin arrives alone. The Delvilles are astounded that Katrin, whom they remember as a gangly teenage, has grown into a statuesque blonde bombshell. Their astonishment is just beginning, because Katrin brashly announces that she wants Paul to sire a baby with her, assuring offspring with both brains and beauty.
Paul is flustered by Katrin's unwillingness to take "no" for an answer. She gives him a nude statue of herself, suns herself at his house in nothing but a skimpy towel, then shows up at a practice of the men's swim team in a provocative bathing suit.
Katrin's come-ons become a greater temptation, causing Content to seek the advice of a friend on campus, Ross Barnett, a married professor. Ross dares her to "call his bluff," which is his way of trying to seduce Content herself. She returns home and finds her husband and Katrin in a passionate kiss, but when he swears his allegiance and that nothing has happened, Content believes him. Katrin finally gives up and decides to go try someone else.
