This issue contains three stories featuring Kathy: In "Strictly Business!," Kathy rushes to stop her friend Alice from going to the movies with a boy named Hank, but a series of mishaps ensues involving a poultry truck and a crashed car, after which Kathy brings Alice back to her house and encounters an old man she mistakes for someone else. In "Clothes Make the Man," Kathy attends a Home Economics class meeting where she limbo dances under a pole, accidentally tripping a man named Hank Hopkins, leading to comedic confusion with the dean about Kathy's identity.
