The Story
This is the story of the frustrations of a father, sending his "dish" of a daughter to college. The father, Frank Michaelson is a respected lawyer and chairman of the School Board, who is called to account by Hector G. Ivor vice chairman of the School board because of the flamboyant publicity regarding Franks strange behavior. Michaelson had been reported arrested for participating in a riotous sit-in strike over banned books, arrested with an alleged Chinese mistress in Paris and jumping into the River Seine in what appears to be in the nude. A newspaper editorial demands he resign from the Board.

It is Michaelsons explanation of these episodes that is the story of Take Her, She's Mine.
Michaelson and his wife, Anne find their lives complicated by the fact they are parents of a dish, Mollie and a budding dish, Liz. Frank is bent on protecting Mollie at all costs ,unaware that most of his fears result from an overly alive imagination.

At 16, Mollie learns something of the facts of life when her art teacher, swimming pals and assorted males find her a luscious magnet. When she heads for college, her father attempts to lecture her on the value of virtue and education, but he is stymied by the swains intent on saying goodbye.
