Girl" Five girls were at summer
resort. The prettiest and most popular
Aline Dacre, engaged to be married to
her fathers law partner. AS her father
is middle aged, the girls take it for
granted his partner must also be
well on in years, but he is in reality,
Jack Brewer, very wealthy young
man and the greatest catch in New
York Aline's aunt decides to give a
reception to introduce her niece's fl
ance, so Jack comes to the hotel to
spend a couple of weeks. The girls
have no idea that Aline even knows
Jack Brewer and so each hopes to be
the lucky one to make an impression
on him. Aline prepares Jack for his
part and the scheme of the girls fails
most disastrously. The characters in
