In her quest for wealth, she sets her sights on Alfeo Strong, the richest boy in town and her brother's best friend. When Alfeo's sister dies in a car accident, Bonnie both likes and fears the attention of his heartbroken mother as she gives Bonnie the dead girl's clothes and speaks to her like her lost daughter. Who will she be marrying, she asks herself? Alfeo or Alfeo's mother?
