Synopsis

In the delightful episode titled Box Supper from Bright Star, we find Susan Armstrong, the owner and editor of the Hillsdale Morning Star, preparing for an exciting box supper auction. This unique event allows girls to pack meals in fancy boxes, which young men then bid on to enjoy dinner and dancing with the girl who prepared it. Susan is enthusiastic about the event, especially since her supper box from the previous year fetched an impressive $55. However, George Harvey, her ace reporter, is less than thrilled about the financial implications of the evening.
