Larah Lavery, winner of the local Miss Outstanding Young Woman contest, did have some outstanding qualities - long blond hair a sensational body, and an incredible ability to move in a way that got the attention of every male in sight. But when it came to brains, or just plain niceness - forget it! That's why Bill Richards and the staff of the school paper decided t run their own contest - to find a Miss Inner Beauty.
When the letters for nominees came in, the guys discovered there were some outstanding girls they had never even looked at. Without any fanfare, a lot of girls were helping the poor, the elderly, kids in trouble - all kinds of community service. Bill's own personal choice for Miss Inner Beauty was Mary Mulcahy, and the funny thing was, once he started noticing her, he found he'd been overlooking a lot of outer beauty too!
