It''s back-to-school Saturday for the fall semester at Wissahicken University.

Larry Kellington is in his office to attend to some loose ends. Once finished, he cuts across the grass in the dark toward the parking lot and discovers the motionless body of a naked adult female. He makes his way to Campus Security to report what he saw. Then he is interrogated by a hard-nosed Philadelphia Police Department Lieutenant.

A few weeks later, under a growing dark cloud of suspicion, Larry recruits four faculty friends to help him solve the murder. They divide up the work and go after the killer. A second murder, a bandaged sore head for Larry, and some deflated egos spur them on, until they are able to bring down the killer in a face-to-face surprise climax.
