THE MARRIAGE-GO-ROUND

At a Florida college, professor Paul Delville and wife Content, who is the school's dean of women, anticipate visitors from Sweden. The people they expect are a former colleague, Professor Sveg, and his daughter Katrin.

Katrin arrives alone. The Delvilles are astounded that Katrin, whom they remember as a gangly teenager, has grown into a statuesque, blonde bombshell. Their astonishment is just the beginning because Katrin brashly announces that she wants Paul to sire a baby with her, assuring offspring with both brains and beauty.

Paul is flustered by Katrin's unwillingness to take no for an answer. She gives him a nude statue of herself, suns herself at his house in nothing but a skimpy towel, then shows up at a swim team practice in a provocative bathing suit.

Katrin's come-ons become a greater temptation, causing Content to seek the advice of a friend on campus, Dr. Ross Barnett, a married professor. Ross dares her to "call his bluff", which is his way of trying to seduce Content for himself. She returns home and finds her husband and Katrin in a passionate kiss, but when he swears his allegiance and that nothing has happened, Content believes him. Katrin finally gives up and decides to try someone else.

Content finds Paul and Katrin in a passionate kiss, but after Paul insists nothing happened and pledges his fidelity, Content believes him. Katrin ultimately gives up her pursuit and decides to try someone else.

The film resolves its central tension by reaffirming the Delvilles’ marital bond despite Katrin’s provocative efforts. Paul's rejection of Katrin’s advances and Content’s decision to trust her husband restore equilibrium, while Katrin’s departure underscores the comedic futility of her plan. The ending leans into farce but lands on the side of fidelity and marital trust.
