Storyline

Corliss Archer, 15, and Mildred Pringle, 17, are best friends, and get into some mischief together which causes their parents to start fighting over who is a bad influence on whom. Their fight also has an affect on Mildred and Lenny Archer, Corliss' brother, who elope one weekend when Lenny's home on leave from the Army. Fearing that the Pringles would want the marriage annulled, the couple decides not to tell anyone about it except Corliss. Then, when Mildred gets pregnant, Corliss goes with her to her doctor, and is seen leaving the office. Mrs. Pringle gets the wrong idea, and goes over to the Archers to tell them that Corliss is pregnant. It's not long before they think that Corliss' boyfriend Dexter is the father. Then, to buy them some time, Corliss tells her parents that she and Dexter are married, all the while trying to contact Mildred at every opportunity. Suddenly... Written by Anonymous

Quotes

Lt. Lenny Archer: Look, you've got to help me. Can you keep a secret?
Corliss Archer: Cross my heart.
Lt. Lenny Archer: Mildred and I were married this morning.
Corliss Archer: Oh, Lenny! What are Mom and Daddy going to say?
Lt. Lenny Archer: Well, I was going to break it to them tonight, but now with this new row going -
Corliss Archer: Does anybody know? About your being married, I mean?
Lt. Lenny Archer: Not a soul. We drove across the state line to Windham Ferry and dug up a justice of the peace. He and his wife are the only ones who know. Except you.
Corliss Archer: But you're gonna tell Mom and Daddy, aren't you?
Lt. Lenny Archer: I don't know. I'm afraid now her parents might move heaven and earth to have it annulled.
Corliss Archer: Could they?
