...twins-Hayley plays both-know nothing about each other; their parents separated when they were babies. Hayley the First is a demure Bostonian who lives with her mother (Maureen O'Hara); Hayley the Second is a rowdy Californian who ranches with her roughneck father (Brian Keith). The girls meet at camp, tumble to the situation, and switch places. At summer's end, Hayley the Second gets her first look at Boston and mother, and Hayley the First sees her dad.

...Side Story in the fall; they have cast and scheduled a folio of properties that includes a film version of Lillian Hellman's The Children's Hour, Two for the Seesaw, Irma la Douce, Toys in the Attic, James Michener's Hawaii, and John O'Hara's A Rage to Live. And they have multiple picture deals with dozens of high-density stars such as Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, Dean Martin, Jason Robards Jr. and Yul Brynner.
