Plot Summary

Teenaged Susan Turner, with a severe crush on playboy artist Richard Nugent, sneaks into his apartment to model for him and is found there by her sister Judge Margaret Turner. Threatened with jail, Nugent agrees to date Susan until the crush abates. He counters Susan's comic false sophistication by even more comic put-on teenage mannerisms, with a slapstick climax.

Trivia When Shirley Temple is interviewing Cary Grant after his lecture at her high school, he refers to her as "Miss Kilgallen" instead of her character's name of Miss Turner. This is a reference to Dorthy Kilgallen, a popular American journalist of the time. See more »
Goofs In the end, when Nugent and Margaret are doing the "man with power" routine; there is a rear screen projection showing various passengers in the background walking toward the plane. However when they end the routine and it does a quick cut to a live shot; the passengers in the background have changed. Additionally, a plane crew appears underneath the plane that wasn't there before. See more »
