THE STORY: Jessamine Linnett and her husband, Andrew, are typical Americans. Each has a daughter from a former marriage. The story begins with the two girls’ return from college. Jackie, Andrew’s daughter, and Joy, Jessamine’s, are fond of each other. But Joy’s attractiveness runs to beauty so apparent that Jackie’s charm is overshadowed. Jackie is taken aback with the realization that her one suitor, Warren, is dazzled by Joy. When Jackie gets no bid to the dance there follow riotous attempts to secure an escort for her, resulting in nothing more than funny arguments between Jessamine and Andrew over their respective daughters, and their communication with each other only through the medium of both girls. Jackie decided to take matters into her own hands when Warren, who has proposed to Joy and been turned down, turns to her for solace. Jackie’s way of getting her man is drastic, but entirely successful.
