My Little Margie #48
The issue opens with Margie proudly showing her father a matching pair of shoes she has finally found. A beach story follows in which Margie encounters a muscular man at a swimming club who initially mistakes her romantic interest; when he learns she is unmarried, he invites her to join his muscle-building club. The main story involves Margie seeking to improve herself by obtaining a diploma and learning various skills, prompting her to attend night school for a diploma in business administration, take typing lessons, and pursue shop-lifting training. When her uncle and his associates discover Margie's schemes to become more accomplished, they ultimately reveal themselves as fortune tellers who have been deceiving her all along, resulting in comedic chaos.
