Plot – Near-graduate at Harvard, Monty Kessler stumbles in the snow and sprains an ankle, losing the envelope with the precious sheets of the thesis, which fall in the boiler room. Here there's a beggar - Simon Wilder - who refuses to return the envelope and so gets arrested. Simon hides the thesis and Monty pays the bail to get it back. He offers Simon also an accommodation in a van parked in front of where he lives and, after many vicissitudes, the two talk to each other. During the Christmas holidays Simon dies and Monty follows his advice changing his thesis, beginning an affair with Courtney and graduating brilliantly.
