Beautiful Janet is repeatedly fired, either because her boss makes a pass at her or the wife of her boss is jealous. She also can’t get decent dates either because men get “fresh” or they think she’s out of their league. Janet undergoes a reverse-makeover to become her own “cousin,” mousy “Helen Brown.” She and her longtime crush Terry fall in love. Terry has his friend Walt give “Helen” a makeover and she becomes Janet again. Terry thinks he’s been the victim of a joke but Janet convinces him she’s serious and they decide to get married.
