Too Many Girls

In the sun‑baked town of Stop Gap, New Mexico, Pottawatomie College teeters on the brink of financial collapse, its modest campus humming with the quiet hopes of a close‑knit student body. Against this backdrop, Connie Casey returns from a European finishing school with a single, determined goal: enroll at the college and carve out a life of her own, oblivious to the protective web her father has woven around her. Harvey Casey, a self‑made tycoon, worries both for his daughter’s safety and for the school’s dwindling purse strings, prompting him to devise a discreet solution that blends paternal concern with a dash of entrepreneurial flair.

Enter a quartet of charismatic young men recruited to serve as Connie’s unseen guardians. Clint Kelly, a Princeton‑trained quarterback, leads the group alongside Jojo Jordan, Manuelito Lynch, and Al Terwilliger. Their contracts include a tongue‑in‑cheek “anti‑romance” clause, ensuring the arrangement stays strictly professional while they officially join the varsity squad. The infusion of talent and cash breathes new life into the football program, turning a struggling team into a surprising powerhouse and injecting a spirited, almost playful energy into campus life.

Clint quickly becomes the focal point of a subtle, growing tension. As a natural leader on the field and a reluctant protector off it, he finds himself drawn to Connie’s confidence and independence, even as the very role that brings them together demands secrecy. Their interactions ripple through the college’s social currents, hinting at a delicate balance between duty, desire, and the unspoken rules that govern both sport and romance.

When Connie eventually uncovers the true nature of her “protectors,” the revelation sets her on a path away from the dusty plains of New Mexico, urging her toward an uncertain future to the east. The four guardians, bound by loyalty and a shared sense of purpose, choose to follow, leaving the once‑thriving football squad behind. Their departure promises both comedic misadventures and heartfelt reckonings, leaving the campus perched on the edge of change and the promise of new beginnings.
