Synopsis: High school student Diane pretends to be 12 years old so she can become friends with college student George, who spends his vacation fishing and studying rather than socialising with the local girls. When George finally learns the truth he says Diane is "lying, deceitful" but she apologises and eventually they get married.

Disclose Notes: It's unclear exactly how old Diane is supposed to be (probably 16 or 17): she says "I'll shed a few years, all the lipstick and the sophistication!" Since she makes a point of George studying for "his college classes," Diane and "the other kids in our crowd" must be a little younger.
