    Act I

    A group of college students, including Bertie, Tommy, Spike, and Johnny, attend a football game in a rainy town. After missing their train, Tommy loses his ticket and is thrown off repeatedly, enduring a grueling journey home through rain, snow, and hardship. He finally arrives at Bertie's room, exhausted and disheveled, only to learn Bertie had found his ticket all along.
