Synopsis by Hal Erickson

The Czechoslovakian Die Sextanerin was released in the U.S. under the title The College Girl. Ellen Schwannecke plays the eponymous heroine, a bright-eyed coed named Inge. She really begins to buckle down to her studies when she falls in love with handsome professor Storm (Rolf Wanka). What she doesn't know is that Storm is a famous poet, hiding out from his throngs of female admirers within the ivy-covered walls of academia. Meanwhile, lady teacher Miss Volmar (Iris Arlan) also sets her cap for the charming Storm. Filmed in both Czechoslovakian and German versions, Die Sextanerin was completed in 1936, reportedly the first Czech talking picture ever made.
