- Jeff is hired by the Connors, parents of a student who died in an apparent hazing incident. Jeff poses as a student, living in the fraternity where he learns of rampant cheating by the football team which may be tied to the death.
- Jeff returns to college as a student when he is hired by Bert and Grace Connors to investigate the death of their son, freshman Jimmy Connors, a journalism major, a writer at the school newspaper and a pledge at Mr. Connors' fraternity. While no one was charged, the coroner, through an inquest, ruled that Jimmy died as the result of accidental murder from a fraternity hazing incident, the college's star football player, hulking Brad Curtis, who seems to be at the center of the incident. Beyond the coroner's ruling, the Connors hire Jeff as they have just received a letter from Jimmy, indeed in his handwriting, postmarked ten days after his death, the letter dated the day of his death. The letter states that he will probably be leaving school with more information to follow. While Mr. Connors is able to pull some strings to get Jeff into the fraternity undercover as a transfer, Jeff enlists the help of Roscoe to go undercover getting a job at one of the local student hangouts to act as another pair of ears and eyes in an atmosphere where the students may be a little less guarded. In the scandal, Brad has become persona non grata in most quarters on campus, including with the fraternity and the football team. While his fraternity brothers are indeed guarded when talking about the incident, Jeff gets the feeling that there are just as many in other quarters who are less than forthright, from other students - including sorority sisters, "good girl" Mari Ellen Taylor, the editor of the school's newspaper and Jimmy's mentor, and "bad girl" Doris Spinner, Brad's former girlfriend who dropped him like a hot potato after the inquest - to the faculty, to the administration, seemingly all in a means to protect the reputation of the college, the fraternity/sorority and of themselves, some not seeing the big picture that a young man died needlessly in the process.—Huggo
