Gidget (Sally Field) keeps accidentally juggling dates with rival cousins Corky Cook (Peter Brooks) and Tate Cook (Larry Merrill) on the same night. She soon finds she has three dates for the Founders Day Dance when her boyfriend who has been away to college says he will be coming in that day. She tries to make herself sick to avoid the dance entirely. Gidget decides to go to the dance with all three, separately, without their knowledge. She arranges with Jimmy Speer (Don Washbrook, Herby Bates from "Petticoat Junction") to jettison her on his motorcycle in-between the times each boy is to pick her up. She then schemes to tell each that she is on the dance's welcoming committee, so they can show up at different times. What shows up is trouble.
The episode holds the viewer's attention, but certainly isn't an original plot. The exterior shots reveal Gidget's street and homes to be that from the set of "Bewitched". Each series shared production company Screen Gems and Executive Producer Harry Ackerman.
