My Little Margie #53
Margie becomes involved in a case concerning a young woman named Louise Fischel who is being sued for half a million dollars in a false arrest lawsuit. Through the story, it is revealed that Louise had been working at Wein's Department Store and became entangled with a young man named Michael Campbell after refusing his advances; she was later accused of theft and arrested, though she was ultimately cleared. After her exoneration, Louise and Michael reconcile and plan to marry, and Wein's Department Store gives her a wedding present and rehires her. In a separate comedic segment, Margie schemes to get an advance on her allowance from her father by claiming she needs money for a fashion show dress, leading to various humorous exchanges as she attempts to convince him and others of her fashionable creations.
