A live-theater production in which Elizabeth Taylor stars as Emily Loomis, a professor of ancient history at a small California college, who reluctantly agrees to rent a room in her house to one of the new students, named Stewart Anderson. Both happen to be loners (she with a secret past) and although they initially get on each other's nerves, they eventually realize the rapport to help one another emerge from their emotional shells.
