The story

Sixteen-year-old film star Ann Winters is sick of playing juvenile roles and decides to run away for a vacation, to the consternation of her manager, Harry Fabian, who has just arranged for her to play a 12-year-old in Ann of Honeysuckle Farm. As soon as Ann drives off, Penelope Ryan, president of the Ann Winters fan club back in Oriole, Nebraska, arrives for a two-week stay as the winner of a lookalike contest that Harry dreamed up. Though she looks just like Ann, Penelope is sweet and agreeable, unlike Ann's brash and impetuous personality.
