Danny blossoms into a lady under Jeremy's guidance, but she refuses his amorous attentions because she knows he will never marry her. But as the attraction between the two of them intensifies, they embark upon a passionate battle of wills, and in a Cinderella-like transformation, Danny becomes a charming beauty, appearing at a society ball where her appearance raises question about her true identity - questions which threaten not only her chances of capturing Jeremy's heart, but her very life...
