Beauty’s Double

Mandy,

Plot

Twins, Kim and Carol Brookes were identical in appearance, but not in temperament. Kim was a tomboy while Carol was a budding beauty queen. While their parents were abroad for a year, the twins were left in the charge of Mrs Jameson, a neighbour. Then Carol’s face was scarred in an accident, and she proposed that Kim should take her place for a year while the scars faded. After winning a big beauty contest in Carol’s place, Kim found herself in great demand.
