Noreen is plain and is therefore jealous of her boyfriend Glenn's alleged attention to other women. During an argument, she causes an auto accident and her face is badly cut. Plastic surgery makes her beautiful, but she thinks Glenn only pitied her before. Calling herself Jean, she meets Glenn at a ski resort and makes him fall in love with her. Noreen reveals her true identity and Glenn says "Noreen was a selfish, bitter girl." He prefers the new Jean, and "it wasn't your new face that I fell in love with!" Noreen promises to be more like Jean from now on.
