My Little Margie

Both Margie and Vern use a book on reverse psychology to get each other to breakup with their prospective mates, Freddie and Roberta, respectively. However, the whole thing backfires when a misunderstanding causes each one to think the other is eloping.

Both Vern and Margie find themselves with one date too many and try to conceal the fact so their dates won't find out about each other.

Margie wants to have her portrait painted as a present for Vern's birthday. Short on money, she arranges to pretend to be the girlfriend of an artist to impress his friend and in exchange he will paint the portrait. Vern gets suspicious and, following Margie, thinks she is having an illicit affair.

Roberta is trying to convince her visiting father that New York is a respectable place to live. Things go awry because Freddie just happens to be babysitting a kangaroo in the Albright's apartment.
