How to keep the evil tongues of small-town gossip...
Jane is raised by her strict and snobbish mother. Unfairly named as the “other woman” in a divorce case (the result of a trick), Jane leaves town due to the scandal and gets a job, incognito, in a department store in another town. Jane dates her boss Chris, but lives in fear of being exposed, particularly since Chris hates liars. Jane returns to her hometown and the divorce fraud is exposed, clearing her name. Chris shows up and reaffirms his love for her.

Boys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses...
As a child, Myra is forced to wear eyeglasses and her classmates mock her. When she’s older, she tries to avoid wearing her glasses, feeling they make her unattractive to boys like Alan. Years later, Myra gets a job with an insurance company and is shy and anti-social. She bumps into Alan, now a lawyer. He apologizes for his unthinking comments before, and they fall in love. Myra thinks Alan is cheating on her, but the “other woman” is his married sister Loretta. She wears glasses too, and advises Myra to “control these false feelings of inferiority.” Myra agrees to marry Alan.
