Princess and the Partridge
Keith is having a hard time getting a date for the weekend until Reuben announces that a princess who is visiting the United States wants to spend a few days with him. After a diplomat warns Keith to take good care of the girl since he is acting as a representative of the United States, Keith meets Princess Genevieve, commonly known as Genny. She is beautiful and unaffected by her royalty, but unfortunately the two young people are allowed very little time together because they are constantly surrounded by security guards. The solution that Genny proposes is for Keith to kidnap her. This is achieved with relative ease, and afterwards they go to a drive-in movie. But Keith is so hung up about Genny's being "royalty" that he can't even put his arm around her. Finally, she advises him to pretend that she's just an ordinary girl. They kiss warmly until a white flash explodes in their faces. It is a photographer - and the next day, the picture of Genny in Keith's arms makes the front page of every newspaper. The diplomats are afraid that Keith may have caused an international incident. But Shirley admonishes them for not understanding that kids want to enjoy themselves like all normal people, so they all calm down. Unfortunately, the next day Genny must leave, and all are sad to see her go.
