She is enrolled as a freshman while her daughter is a sopho- more. Abby's reason for going to college is financial. She's used up most of her husband's insurance money and the only way she can afford to keep Susan in school is to accept an unusual but generous scholarship that provides enough money for both of them. Susan points out what a lonely old lady her mother will be on campus like a left over chaperon. But things just don't go the way Susan imagines they will. Her good-looking mother makes quite a hit with the college boys and especially a certain zoology professor who happens to be her daughter's puppy love. The Dean is always looking for an excuse to expell Mrs. Abbott and finally his chance comes. She slaps the professor and she is expelled. Soon after the misunderstanding is cleared up and Mrs. Abbott and Susan are able to return to college and things return to normal.
