Goodbye, My Fancy plot
"No one holds a candle to Joan -- when Joan is carrying the torch!"
Agatha Reed (Joan Crawford) is a successful MP. When she is offered a job at her former university, she thinks back to the past and why she left. Twenty years ago she was in a relationship with Dr. James Merrill (Robert Young), one of her professors, who has since risen to the position of director of the university. Agatha returns in hopes of renewing her relationship with Dr. Merrill. Journalist Matt Cole (Frank Lovejoy) follows her closely, not only to write a story about her, but also because he also competes for Agatha's hand.
