Best friends Judy and Carol compete for the affection of an older man during their high school dance.

Back to back high school dramas for Taylor. No disrespect to Jane Powell but it’s rough when there is this significant of a difference in screen presence between your lead and supporting performers, even with the singing talent of Powell.
