Polly gets her parents' permission to leave their farm and go to London to try to find a job. Immediately upon arriving, a stranger drags her into a car and they rush off as he uses the car phone to tell the studio that he has her, ignoring her protests. Only later does everyone discover that Polly is a lookalike for Inez, a famous model who has been missing for days at the start of a new campaign. Once the mistake is discovered, Liz suggests that they use Polly for their model until Inez returns.
