- Storyline
- Annette Funicello stars as a simple orphan coming from a small country farm to the upper-class suburbs so she can live with an aunt and uncle she hasn't seen in years. At first, she's excited to finally have a solid home. Her aunt takes her shopping and gives her a new look, while her uncle registers her for school and the housemaid pampers her to her no end. But it's the other kids in town that at last give Annette something to worry about. Some are snobs, some are obnoxious, and the ones she does get along with are the sort of people her aunt believes are beneath her. When she gets a crush on the most popular guy in school, she becomes the target of his jealous girlfriend. Her life might never be simple again. The jealous girl wrongfully accuses Annette of stealing her necklace, which she had misplaced and had landed in an unlikely place. When it's discovered, Annette and the girl become friends.
