When Kathy wins $38,000 in prizes on a radio contest, her life turns upside down—the money brings unexpected complications instead of happiness, from her worried boyfriend Hank to jealous neighbors and her own family falling apart. As Kathy realizes the prizes might be ruining everything that mattered, she faces a second chance to set things right when the radio station calls back with a twist. A charming 1949 teen humor tale about discovering that sometimes having everything means losing what counts.
