Andy Hardy, a Carvel teenager with a new tow truck, is pulled over for a missing license plate, and a radio bulletin names the car he is towing as stolen. At home the family is celebrating the return of his sister Marian from New York; Carvel strikes her as unsophisticated, and she is annoyed by their worries about Jeff Willis, a local young man they call a wolf. Jeff announces himself over a loudspeaker in his car and invites Marian to the Red Door Inn. Judge Hardy, Andy's father, promises to clear up the theft if Andy befriends Melodie Nesbit, whose parents, Olivia and Roderick, are fighting over custody of her. Andy asks Melodie to a dance.
