Straight-A student Buffy (Anissa Jones) suddenly and mysteriously begins failing in every class. Bill (Brian Keith) thinks that Buffy is deliberately performing poorly so she won't skip a grade and can stay in the same class with her twin brother Jody (Johnnie Whitaker). But the truth is that Buffy is "playing dumb" to attract a boy (Gary Dubin) who doesn't like smart girls. Unlike many another sitcom episode of the 1960s, this one does NOT applaud Buffy for dumbing herself down in order to build up a boy's ego--and is all the better because of it!
