But Rhonda is so irresponsible that her friends don't trust her to do anything important, and this makes her feel very bad. When she begs them for a chance to redeem herself by taking on a key task, they reluctantly go along. But just when she's getting down to business, another friend invites Rhonda to go away and spend the weekend at Disneyland.
