Meanwhile, heiress Clarissa Rhinelander Bartlett, who frequently becomes infatuated with men of suspect character, falls in love with a lifeguard who is one of Pinky's cohorts. When Clarissa's guardian, Wendy Washburn, investigates the lifeguard, he falls in love with Barbara. Because Wendy convinces Barbara, in the midst of a jewel heist, that her colleagues are criminals, she escapes, but afterwards she cannot find a job. When an old man offers her one thousand dollars to impersonate Clarissa, Barbara, hungry and despairing, accepts, but after she is asked to sign Clarissa's name to a will, she thwarts the crooks who, coincidentally, are robbing Clarissa's house. Wendy, who planned the thousand dollar offer as a test of Barbara's honesty, now accepts her, while Clarissa falls in love with the policeman arresting the crooks. Written by Pamela Short See less
