Sixth-billed Luana Anders (with her sharp, angular face and inquisitive, old lady-eyes) is the central focus of this would-be teenage tragedy, wherein a handsome Ivy Leaguer from a wealthy family attempts to get closer to the local beauty queen by dating her "ugly duckling" younger sister.
Rich college fraternity boy Russ Lippincott (Mark Damon) tries to get small-town beauty contest winner Elaine Peck (Dorothy Johnson) to fall for him by making a play for her 16-year-old sister, Carol (Luana Anders). This “family drama of adolescent love” has some of the worst acting and dialogue ever committed to celluloid.
